Why I Flaunt My Girlfriend- IK Ogbonna
In a recent interview with Saturday
Beats, Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna said people do advise him not to show
off his girlfriend to the world, and he should always keep his
relationship on a low key.
Ogbonna said since he doesn’t cheat, he has nothing to hide.The actor told Saturday Beats that,
- “A lot of people tell me
that since I am a fine boy and Nollywood’s bad boy, I should not let
people know that I have a girlfriend because of the ladies. I believe
that is total nonsense. As far as I am concerned, why should I live a
fake life because I am in the public eye? Why should I lie to people
that respect me? If someone is my fan, the person should respect me for
who I am. I cannot be dating someone and deny the lady of her right to
happiness because I am in the public eye. Women like it when their men
celebrate them except a lady that has skeleton in her cupboard.
“I
am not flaunting my woman; instead, I am living my life the way I
should. I am doing things that will make my woman happy. I don’t cheat
and that is why I am living my life the way I am. The disadvantage of
being open about your private life is that some people try to destroy
what you are trying to build. They spread all sorts of rumours but as
far as you people are best of friends, you will laugh about such
stories. Some people go to my instagram page to insult my girlfriend but
when we see it, we laugh about it,”
Ogbonna said ladies still chase him even when they know he have a girlfriend.
“Even
married men still have girls chasing them. As far as you have some
money in your pocket, women will chase you. Times have changed now and
people don’t care about your status anymore, they go for what they want
at every cost. What really matters is if I am willing to fall for the
advances or stay focused. It will never change even if I get married. I
am a principled young man even though I may flirt sometimes. I know
where I am going to because I know where I am coming from.
“Man
can propose but God disposes. Every girl that I have dated in my life, I
have had the intention of getting married to them because I don’t
believe in wasting my time. My time is very precious to me. I cannot
also waste a woman’s time. When I am dating, it is courtship and I try
to see if we are compatible enough to settle down together. I am very
honest with who I am dating right now and she is also honest with me. If
God makes us get to a stage where we can get married, I am not going to
hide it. What makes you a man is the ability to leave the single sweet
life and become one with another person. If the mindset of some people
is too low to accept certain things, it will not stop me from living my
life,”
