“I Married for Love, He Married for Profit”: Mansura Isa Opens Up on Shock Divorce
In an emotional and revealing interview on BBC Hausa’s “Mahangar Zamani”, beloved Kannywood actress Mansura Isa has confirmed the heartbreaking collapse of her second marriage — a union she describes as "sudden and shocking, like a movie scene."
Mansura, who once shared a celebrated marriage with actor Sani Danja (with whom she has four children), remarried in 2024. That marriage, which attracted wide media attention with its glamorous wedding videos and a ₦1 million bride price, has now ended in betrayal and silence.
💔 “He Never Loved Me – He Loved the Deal”
According to Mansura, she met her second husband through a trusted uncle while managing a major contract in Lagos. Trusting his help in overseeing the deal, she was drawn in emotionally and eventually agreed to marry him. But what followed, she said, was a carefully orchestrated plan.
“He brought a contract agreement on our wedding day asking me to sign over a ₦4 billion deal because I was now his wife,” she revealed.
Shockingly, the man left the next morning and ghosted her completely, even ignoring her calls. He only agreed to issue a divorce much later—after being cornered by concerned individuals.
🎬 “Kannywood Women Are Not the Problem” – Fati Mohammad Defends Colleagues
Joining the discussion was fellow Kannywood icon Fati Mohammad, who passionately defended female celebrities against common stereotypes.
“People think actresses can’t stay married because of fame or luxury. But many men marry us out of lust or ambition, not love,” she said. “When things fall apart, we are blamed.”
🗣️ Opinion: When Love Becomes a Business Transaction
Mansura’s story is both heartbreaking and familiar. It mirrors a rising pattern where women — especially public figures — are preyed upon under the guise of romance. Her experience shows how love, when manipulated, becomes a dangerous currency.
This is not just about Kannywood. It’s about the broader challenge successful women face — being seen as “opportunities” rather than partners.
Let’s stop blaming women for “failed marriages” when the failure is rooted in fraud, deceit, and predatory behavior. Mansura Isa’s courage in speaking out should be applauded, not pitied.
✨ A Final Word from Mansura: “I’ve Accepted My Fate”
In her final remarks, she showed grace in heartbreak:
“It was painful, but I’ve accepted my fate. Life moves on.”
