According to a source, the marriage is over and it may not be redeemable. It was also gathered that her husband, Ifeanyi Igwegbe has allegedly abandoned their matrimonial home.
However, it was said that the couple now live in two different states in the U.S. Constant disagreement was given as the major reason the man fled, leaving behind his wife and their two daughters.
No word has been heard from the actress.

Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe”s estranged hubby, Lanre Gentry has finally responded to the damaging death threat allegation by Nollywood producer Lege Miami.
In a report we made earlier, the producer who said in a video released few days ago that he was threatened with death for allegedly sleeping with Mercy Aigbe.
Lanre Gentry has responded to the allegations made. He said, “The State Criminal Investigation Department picked the young man up and arrested him yesterday. I made a complaint against him for defaming my name and men of the Nigeria police went to pick him up because I do not know him. I have never even seen him before yesterday.”
According to him, he was later released yesterday after a lot of people trooped in to beg on his behalf.
However, before he was released, he was asked to write an undertaking that he would never try such a thing again.
“I don’t know him from Adam. My wife is a very gentle person and she remains my wife. She is not a troublesome person neither is she promiscuous.
I have never accused my wife of cheating on me and we have never had a fight over her faithfulness to our marriage.”
On his marriage with his wife, he said “The only little misunderstanding we had was over the issue that I gave her money to cook for me but she did not do so. That was what caused our misunderstanding.
The guy in question is just looking for cheap popularity and it led to his arrest. He has already written an undertaking to refrain from tarnishing my image.
Initially, they wanted to lock him up and charge him to court for defamation of character but people really pleaded on his behalf so I had to be lenient and asked them to let him go after he wrote the undertaking. I have no quarrels with my wife.”

Harrison Tare Okiri, famously known as Harrysong, no doubt is a gifted musician and songwriter who has proven himself by writing some smash hits for established acts.
When he joined KeeCee’s led Five Star Music and wrote few of KeeCee biggest hits without receiving enough credit, according to the star singer, he was left with no other choice but to depart Five Star Music. But thereafter, law suits and multiple allegations followed and no one really knows the facts but left with two sides of the story.
However, with the release of Harrysong’s latest smash hit single ‘Arabanko’, it seems Harrysong has decided to bear his mind, through the song, on a couple issues that have been raised during his legal tussle with KeeCee and Five Star Music.
The first issue reported as being responsible for Harrysong departure from Five Star bothers on when it was Harrysong’s talent in song writing and production that made their partnership successful? Or whether KeeCee’s voice and financial power made their estranged union click?
Harrysong, in the song Arabanko, seems to have given his opinion that KeeCee should have been grateful to him because before his arrival, there was the money and KeeCee’s talent, but after his arrival, all things clicked.
He summarized this when practically called KeeCee an empty vessel and a back stabber in these lyrics “I cook food say make you come chop you use am against me, put me for cooking pot, empty gallon when I help fill water.”
In his lyrics, Harrysong mocked Five Star Music’s source of wealth too because the lines “since Linda chop chinwe banana and politicians no come dey pay again” suggest Five Star Music may have been involved in pimping girls for politicians and that something went wrong with the alleged pimping business, which forced the backers to withdraw.
Backing this up, Harrysong sang that Five Star was now jealous of his new found richer partner and birth of his twins. “I born twins, dem jealous me… I get another sponsor, dem jealous me oh.”
His arrest by Five Star Music and other reported confrontations were as well spoken about in ‘Arabanko’ with Harrysong accusing Five Star of trying to assassinate him. He even went a step further in the music video to announce to KeeCee that he was ready for war by pulling a gun. “Dem send hired killers to come finish me But Jehovah say my pikin no go die”
He also prophesied to himself and his label Alter Plate, saying it was the new king of the music industry. He even said there were things he would have said, but kept them to himself.
He claimed in the song that he opened the can of worms because he was pushed to the wall. “Everywhere I go grace dey follow me…Alter Plate everybody celebrate…Insult upon insolence I don see…I been no wan talk, dem dey fire me.
The song was not all about accusations of jealousy, assassination and struggle of intellectual property right, as Harrysong did a good job in the delivery of the song.
The upbeat nature of the song will keep million on the dance floor for a long time to come.
The fact that the lyrics can be used as materials to fuel street beef means Harrysong has got the hit that will finally take him to greater height on his hands. (Culled from Nigeria films)

A special counsel investigating claims of Russian meddling in the US election has reportedly empanelled a grand jury, Today reports.
The US media reports suggest Robert Mueller’s inquiry has taken the first step towards possible criminal charges.
According to Reuters news agency, the jury has issued subpoenas over a June 2016 meeting between President Donald Trump’s son and a Russian lawyer.
The president has poured scorn on any suggestion his team colluded with the Kremlin to beat Hillary Clinton.
In the US, grand juries are set up to consider whether evidence in any case is strong enough to issue indictments for a criminal trial. They do not decide the innocence or guilt of a potential defendant.
The panel of ordinary citizens also allows a prosecutor to issue subpoenas, a legal writ, to obtain documents or compel witness testimony under oath.
At a rally in Huntington, West Virginia, on Thursday evening, Trump said the allegations were a “hoax” that were “demeaning to our country”.
“The Russia story is a total fabrication,” he said. “It’s just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of American politics, that’s all it is.”
The crowd went wild as he continued: “What the prosecutor should be looking at are Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 deleted emails.”
“Most people know there were no Russians in our campaign,” he added. “There never were. We didn’t win because of Russia, we won because of you, that I can tell you.”
Trump’s high-powered legal team fielding questions on the Russia inquiry said there was no reason to believe the president himself is under investigation.
Ty Cobb, a lawyer appointed last month as White House special counsel, said in a statement: “The White House favours anything that accelerates the conclusion of his work fairly.
“The White House is committed to fully co-operating with Mr Mueller.”
Earlier on Thursday, the US Senate introduced two separate cross-party bills designed to limit the Trump administration’s ability to fire Mueller.
The measures were submitted amid concern the president might dismiss Mueller, as he fired former FBI director James Comey in May, citing the Russia inquiry in his decision, reports the BBC.
Thursday’s reports suggest former FBI director Mueller’s investigation is focusing on 39-year-old Donald Trump Jr’s June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with a Russian lawyer.
According to Reuters, the special counsel is examining whether anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign encouraged the Russians to start releasing material about the Clinton campaign.
A source told the news agency the president himself was not currently under investigation.
But the special counsel was seeking to determine whether Trump knew of his son’s meeting before it happened, or if he was briefed on it afterwards, the source said.
The US first son’s emails show that he was told the meeting would yield damaging material on Mrs Clinton, provided by the Kremlin.
Trump and his aides have dismissed the encounter as “opposition research” that happens in any political campaign.
Trump Jr’s initial, misleading statement – that the meeting was about Russian adoptions – was issued with the president’s advice.
The US intelligence community, including the CIA and NSA, has determined that Russia sought to boost Trump’s chances of victory in November 2016 presidential election, which Moscow denies.
Trump has at times expressed doubt about the determination made by his own intelligence agencies.
Mueller was appointed in May by the deputy attorney general of the Department of Justice.
Several congressional inquiries are examining the same allegations.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has said the likely refusal of President Muhammadu Buhari or his Vice, Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, cannot stop the final process of amendment of the Constitution, Post-Nigeria reports.
The Senate President, revealed that it was with conviction on that, that the 8th National Assembly approved the removal of Presidential assent to an amended the Constitution.
Recall, that the 7th Assembly had in 2015, while reviewing the 1999 Constitution, approved the removal of Presidential assent from the process of the amendment.
However, Saraki said going by the process of amending the Constitution, the final decision of Federal and State Legislatures, should be seen as the decision of the people.
“Well, to me, if two-thirds of the National Assembly agree to something, and two-thirds of the State Assemblies also agree, in my view, the President should accept that as the wish of the people.
“Does he really need to assent? Personally, I don’t think so; that is my personal view, because with two-third of National Assembly, two-third of State Assemblies, the people have spoken”, he said.
Saraki added that, the Senate would follow up on the amendment process in the States, to ensure that there was wide consultation and sensitisation.

Thanks to dairy marketing bureaus and their massive marketing budgets, most people think of dairy products to build strong bones. But eating more of these foods may not be the best way to boost your bone health and ward off osteoporosis. When it comes to building strong bones and preventing bone diseases, herbs really shine. Here are my top 4 herbs that build healthy and resilient bones:
Dandelion
Dandelion shoots (the stems, leaves, and flowers) are not only rich in the essential bone-building nutrient, calcium, they also contain plentiful amounts of boron, which is critical to strong bones. Dandelion shoots have one of the highest amounts of the mineral boron of almost any food.
Dried dandelion stems, flowers and leaves can be dried (or obtained already dried from your local health food store) and made into tea. Add one teaspoon of dried dandelion per cup of boiled water. Let steep for at least 10 minutes. Strain and drink three times daily for best results. Drink for three weeks then take a break for one week. Repeat.
Horsetail
Horsetail (no, not the tail from horses) is a uniquely thin herb with long, thin leaves whose shape resembles horse hair. Not only does the herb build strong bones, researchers found that it can prevent infections linked to fractures and osteoporosis. Published in the medical journal Cell Proliferation, the study found that horsetail improves the bone-building ability of osteoblasts. Osteoblasts are cells that create bone by laying down a matrix to which minerals bind to form bone. The scientists concluded that ingesting horsetail extract may be a good bone-building strategy.
Another study in the same journal only a few months afterward found that horsetail also prevented cells from breaking down bone, a process that can contribute to bone diseases like osteoporosis. Horsetail is also high in the mineral silica, which plays an essential role in strengthening bones. Add one teaspoon of dried horsetail per cup of boiled water. Let steep for at least 10 minutes. Strain and drink three times daily for best results.
Nettles
Also known as stinging nettles due to the little, hair-fine stingers on the stalks of the plant, nettles are a nutritional powerhouse, containing an abundance of calcium in a form that is readily absorbed. Dried nettles do not exert a stinging action. Add one teaspoon of dried nettles per cup of boiled water. Let steep for 10 minutes. Strain and drink three times daily for best results. You can also add dried nettles to soups or stews to give these foods a nutritional boost.
Red clover
Yes, those purple-colored flowers that pop up in your lawn are good for much more than mowing over. Research published in the medical journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that the compound called formononetin found in red clover helped prevent the development of osteoporosis in animals. And, fortunately, you don’t have to be able to pronounce this compound to benefit from it.
You can make a tea from dried red clover flowers by adding 1 teaspoon of dried flowers per cup of boiled water. Let steep for at least 10 minutes. Strain and drink 3 cups daily for best results. You can also add fresh red clover flowers to salads, or use red clover sprouts on salads, sandwiches, or wraps. Avoid picking red clover on lawns that have been sprayed or are close to high-traffic areas.

Experts estimate that 50 to 70 million Americans are afflicted with chronic sleep disorders and sleep problems. As you age, you may find yourself waking up in the middle of the night to urinate or awaking much earlier in the morning than you would like to get up. You should get at least eight hours of sleep every night, but only 28 percent of adults in the U.S. are getting enough sleep.
Getting the right amount of sleep is as important to your health as eating well and exercising. Sleep restores your body and allows the body to repair itself. Getting enough sleep supports your immune system so you can fight off health problems and diseases. Studies show that when animals are deprived of sleep they lose their immune function and die after a couple of weeks.
Protect your health by following these 10 tips for better sleep:
Turn Off The TV And Other Electronic Devices
Television, phones, computers and tablets stimulate your mind instead of relaxing it. The light these devices produce suppresses production of melatonin, a hormone that helps control your sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin’s production is sensitive light exposure.
If you like to read before bed, choose a book or an eReader that requires an additional light, like a book light or lamp, instead of the backlit screen of an iPad. Once you are done reading, keep your room very dark or wear a sleep mask. If you do wake up to use the restroom at night, do not turn on any bright lights.
It is also important to keep your devices quiet. Leave your cellphone to charge in another room, turn it off or at least put it in a “do not disturb” mode so that texts, emails and other notifications do not interrupt your sleep.
Relax
It is important to relax your mind to make it easier to fall asleep. Meditation and other relaxation exercises like visualization, progressive muscle relaxation and deep breathing can easily be performed in bed. Relaxation exercises can help calm your mind, help you wind down and prepare you for slumber.
Set A Sleep Schedule
Putting yourself on a sleep schedule helps you get the best rest. Get into the routine of going to bed at the same time each night and waking up at the same time in the morning. Even though it may be difficult, try to stick to your sleep schedule on weekends, too. Avoid the temptation to sleep in on weekend mornings. When your body is used to the schedule, it makes it easier to fall asleep and wake up refreshed every the morning.
Protect Your Prostate Health
As you age, your prostate enlarges. Symptoms from an uncomfortably enlarged prostate can interrupt your sleep. Urinary symptoms like frequent urination and nighttime urination have many men waking up several times a night, making it impossible to get a good night’s sleep no matter what they do.
You can protect your prostate health through lifestyle changes and supplements that shrink the prostate. The top prostate supplements that work, like Prost-P10x, contain natural ingredients that help support normal prostate size and urinary flow. Exercising and eating a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids and tomatoes, along with other fruits and vegetables, can also help protect your prostate health. You should also avoid the worst foods for prostate health.
No Caffeine
Caffeine can cause sleep problems for you even 10 to 12 hours after you consume it. Try cutting back your caffeine intake and avoiding it in the afternoon to see if it helps. Cutting back on caffeine may also help reduce your nighttime urination, because incontinence in men is linked to caffeine. As a rule, you should cut back on the amount of liquids you drink in the evening.
Avoid Drinking Alcohol
Some men mistakenly drink alcohol, hoping it provides enough relaxation to help them sleep better. This is not a good idea. Even though alcohol can make you fall asleep faster, it reduces the quality of your sleep and may cause you to wake in the night. Alcohol is a diuretic. Drinking it before bed may add to nighttime urinary symptoms that men with an enlarged prostate are already experiencing. Avoid alcohol for a few hours before you plan to fall asleep. If you are concerned about alcohol and prostate health, it is best to stop after your second drink.
Eat An Earlier Dinner
Eat dinner at an earlier time and avoid eating heavy or rich foods within two hours of bedtime. Fatty foods take longer to digest and may keep you up at night. You should also avoid acidic, spicy foods that can give you heartburn or stomach trouble.
Keep It Cool
People sleep better in a cool, well-ventilated room than when it is warm and stuffy. Most people sleep best in a room that is 65 F.
Turn the heat down or off at night and even crack a window if it is not too cold. You will notice a difference in how you sleep and feel in the morning. Plus, needing to cuddle up to your partner for warmth can lead to having s*x, which also helps you fall asleep.
Have s*x Before Sleep
Having s*x leads to better sleep for many reasons.
Having an climax releases various brain chemicals, including prolactin, which is connected to feeling sleepy.
The findings from a recent study shows that s*x with a partner leads to better sleep than, say, “taking matters into your own hands.” According to the study, an climax from intercourse releases four times more prolactin than masturbatory orgasms. Plus the oxytocin and vasopressin released during climax are also linked to better sleep. The physical effort required for s*x helps tire you out as well.
Create A Bedtime Routine
Relaxing bedtime routines that can hasten sleep include taking a warm bath, listening to soft music or books on tape, doing some easy stretches, meditating or doing relaxation exercises, or engaging in a relaxing hobby before bed. Find something that relaxes you and incorporate that into your daily bedtime routine to help unwind and get your body ready for sleep. If you follow these and the other tips for getting better sleep, you should find yourself waking up feeling more rested in the morning and ready to tackle your day.
