“My ex-wife married me only for my money” – Julius Agwu

Renowned Nigerian comedian, Julius Agwu discloses that the failure of his marriage to his ex-wife, Ibiere Maclayton, can be attributed to his failure to seek divine guidance.

During an interview with The Punch, the “Rattle Snake” star revealed discussed his challenges in marriage and his struggle with a brain tumour.

Julius Agwu explained that his ex-wife was attracted to his money during their marriage, but when he encountered health issues, she chose to end the marriage.

In his words, “I believe that any marriage without God would not last. When I married my wife, I did not even consult God. Some of us got married when there was so much money, and at that time, practically every girl wanted to be with us. But, after marriage, if anything happens to one, they would say, “I don’t want this man again”. I suggest that people should consult God first before getting married.”

The 50 years old actor talked about his recovery journey following the end of his failed marriage. He emphasized that while the experience had imparted a valuable lesson to him, he didn’t rule out the possibility of considering marriage once more in the future.

“Life is very good and enjoyable now. When that (separation) happened, I was fighting with a lot; thinking about my sickness and my family. I thank God, because I know everything happens for a reason. When there is life, there is hope. But, a time will come when I might reconsider marriage,” he stated.

Speaking on his new direction in life, Julius Agwu stated, “The truth is that, one’s health comes first. I have been low-key, because I had a brain tumour surgery in 2015 in the United States of America. I thank God that I am alive. Many people who had that type of surgery did not survive it. I believe God loves me because of my good heart towards everyone.”
