I want a man who will give me N20m when I ask for N1m — Yvonne Jegede

Popular Nollywood actress, Yvonne Jegede, has disclosed the character and financial buoyancy she seeks in her ideal man.

The movie star said she fancies empathic men who would grant her financial requests above her demands without questions.

She disclosed this in a recent episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast.

“Person wey get good mind na im I dey find. Because if you get good mind, you get empathy, if I say ‘Baby please, give me N1 million’, you fit give me N20 million,” she said.

“But if you no get empathy, you go ask me first of all, say, ‘It is your father’s money?”

NewsWireNGR had earlier reported that Jegede in the teaser for the episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast revealed details about her unsuccessful marriage to actor Olakunle ‘Abounce’ Fawole.

In the teaser, Jegede discussed the reasons for their divorce, pointing to financial differences and an age gap as significant factors.

The actress confirmed that she was the main provider in the marriage, stating that she was “bringing in more of the money.”

She also regretted prioritising love over financial stability, saying, “I would have gone for money instead of love.”

The actress disclosed that her ex-husband’s sensitivity to jokes and their age difference played a role in their marriage’s downfall.

She mentioned that Fawole, an eight-year-old senior, often interpreted her jokes as disrespect, creating tension between them.

Jegede and Fawole married in 2018, but their union ended within a year.

Since the split, Jegede said she has taken on the sole responsibility of caring for their son, a task she admits is challenging.
