AFTER several postponements and speculations, Onna, Akwa-Ibom born star actress, Iniobong Edo finally married her lover, Phillip Ehigwina in Eket, Akwa Ibom State. The traditional marriage took place on the 29th of November, 2008, which was followed by a lavish reception at the Grand Hotel, Eket.
Accompanied by friends and relatives, Phillip stormed the home town of the actress in style to ask for the hand of Ini Edo in marriage.
Expectedly, it was a roll-call of her colleagues in Nollywood who graced the occasion. The list includes Desmond Elliot, Oge Okoye, Rita Dominic, Mama Gee, Oge Okye, Rukky Sanda, Mike Ezuronye, Osita Iheme popularly known as Paw Paw, who was practically mobbed by the mammoth crowd, Keppy Ekpeyong Bassey, producer, Emem Isong and a host of others.
The traditional wedding finally brought to an end the controversy that trailed the romance between the duo, especially for those who thought the romance would go the way of her husband and his first wife, Ruth. Ini further fuelled this some months back when she denied any plans of getting married.
It should be recalled that Phillip and his ex-wife, Ruth went their separate ways a few years back over allegation and counter- allegations of infidelity, betrayal and lack of commitment.
