“Getting off my first marriage was the most difficult part of my life” – Nedu

Famous media figure and actor, Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, also known as Nedu, recently shared that the toughest phase of his life was when he ended his first marriage.

He revealed this while appearing on the MTV Base Africa show, MTV Base Sparks, alongside VJ Adams.

During this period, despite battling depression, he continued to produce humorous content to bring joy to others. He recounted experiencing anxiety attacks between 2017 and 2018 due to the challenges in his marriage. Interestingly, he mentioned finding solace in a new relationship even before formally concluding his separation from his former spouse.

He said, “Getting off my first marriage, it was the most difficult period in my life. The funny thing is, it was 2017/2018, I was going through hell, but nobody knew.

“You know how it is when you are taking a walk, and your heart is skipping for no just reason. I was under anxiety attacks. But guess what? I was doing comedy skits and posting daily. But I was going through hell.

“Yes, I have healed fully from that situation, 150 per cent. The person that healed me does not even know she was the one that healed me. I healed even before I left the marriage because if you are not healed, you can’t move on. So, I got to a point where I was healed a bit, and then I moved on and then totally got healed much later.”
