Rita i’m happy for your achievements, but come to think of it, are you going to live with your awards as your husband for the rest of your life? do you have any idea how old you are? don’t you have any feeling for marriege? most of your younger ones in the nollywood industry are married, some in other to show their expertise, they divorced and remarried, but you have a different case. If you are experiencing some spiritual problems, i know that this forum is always a good place where problem share is problem solve, people here wiil pray for you, before you know it, you will find yourself holdind your child. You time is ebbing very fast o!!.
