Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire has firmly shut down rumors surrounding her marriage, particularly claims that she coerced her husband, Frederick Leonard, into tying the knot.
Speculations about trouble in paradise have been circulating recently, fueled by alleged subtle jabs exchanged between the couple on their Instagram pages.
In response to the speculation, a certain Adamma Nora insinuated that Ovire manipulated Leonard into marriage, suggesting that such unions are destined for failure, remarking,
Who doesn’t know that when a man is being forced into something e no dey last”.
Taking to her Instagram story, Ovire shared a screenshot of Nora’s comment, dismissing the allegations with a mix of amusement and assertiveness. She asserted her self-worth, emphasizing her beauty, intelligence, and financial independence. Ovire questioned the absurdity of the notion that she could force her husband into marriage, proudly identifying herself as a Urhobo woman. Urging Nora to cease spreading hate, Ovire subtly criticized her upbringing, highlighting the importance of self-value instilled by responsible parents.
This got me laughing so hard. Peggy! Beauty, brain & her own bag. Forced my husband to marry me. @adamma_nora You don’t know me oh. Full Urhobo girl. Stop the hate, I’m always in my quiet lane. It’s not my fault your father didn’t teach you how to place value on yourself. I know you still have a crush on him, no vex nah. But tearing your fellow woman on socials, is you undermining the power of a quiet woman”.
Peggy Ovire exchanged vows with Frederick Leonard in a lavish ceremony in Asaba, Delta State, on November 19th, 2022. Reflecting on their union, Ovire attributed patience as the cornerstone of their marriage. Leonard, on his part, expressed his unwavering commitment to Ovire during their traditional wedding, declaring her as the one woman he cannot live without.
