Saint Obi was a star. He was a household name in Nigeria, and his movies were loved by millions. He was handsome, talented, and successful. But behind the scenes, Saint Obi was living a tragic life.
The life of Saint Obi, a Nollywood star, was blunted by his reticent disposition, which made him shy and insecure. Despite being a superstar, he preferred a quiet and fulfilled life. However, his stardom landed him a financially strong and powerful wife, which turned out to be the beginning of his woes.
Saint's marriage was dramatized, and his closest pals were not invited. His marriage took him away from Nollywood and his friends. Even though he was blessed with three children, he never invited any of his friends in Nollywood for the christening or birthday celebration.
When Saint abandoned his acting career, some of his friends sniggered behind him. They heard the rumours of the cracks in his marriage. Saint's wife's siblings harassed him and even fought him in his own home, which led to the end of his marriage.
He moved out of his marital home to begin the reconstruction of his destiny without his wife and children. His wife sued for divorce, which Saint vehemently opposed, stating that he would fight to take custody of his children.
Saint Obi's story is one that highlights the struggles that many creatives in Nollywood face, including the pressure to conform to societal norms and expectations.
