Nollywood actress, Olive Utalor, who turned down a marriage proposal
from her fiancée of many years. Her reason? The proposal did not come
with a car for her.
“On my birthday last year he promised me a car and now he wants me,
Olive Utalor to get married to him without a car, it’s not proper. I
don’t care if he has supported me through school. I can’t be trekking
under the sun when I am somebody’s wife. He should go and look for his
class,” the actress blurted out in a chat when Potpourri reached her
to find out why she rejected a marriage proposal.
It was gathered that the proposal was made by the fiancé, who is a
civil servant, a primary school teacher to be precise, on his birthday
expecting his girlfriend would be pleasantly surprised and accept but
her reaction so much disconcerted him that he contemplated taking his
own life. In fact, he was said to have stood on a road perplexed,
waiting for any car to run into him.
The whole scene had taken place on a busy working day at a shopping
mall in Asaba, Delta State before gaping eyes of many passers-by. The
heartbroken boyfriend had thought he had everything perfectly planned
and the timing just right, so, rejection was the last thing on his
mind but his sweetheart of many years had other ideas.
“I can’t pretend that he is right for me. Yes, he saw me through the
early stages of my tertiary education but that doesn’t mean we are
right for each other. If he cannot get me a car there can be marriage.
I’m not being callous, I’m just being true to myself,” she said
smugly.
The Delta State-born actress is quietly making her imprint on the
landscape of the movie industry as she has featured in some really
good films. Some of the most recent films she featured are Yahoo King,
Hope of Glory, Loving Soul, My Pregnant.
