Nigerian veteran actress, Lanre Hassan aka Iya Awero
who has been on stage and screen for over 50 years has opened up to The Nation Newspaper
in a brief chat recently about the loss of her husband, the death of
her 2 kids and why she decided not to remarry. Read excerpt below…
“It is so painful that my husband
did not live up till this moment to see what I have become today. He was very
patient and understanding.“I
didn’t see any cause to remarry because doing that means I have to start all
over again. I already have children and I just decided to focus on them. Having
another marriage might lead to neglecting of my children, and I didn’t want
that,” explaining why she didn’t remarry.“Even
when I lost two children while shooting and had people saying all sort of
things, like spiritual attack, we didn’t believe in that, because my God is
sufficient enough,” she added.
