Iya Awero: It’s sad my husband didn’t live to see what I’ve become

with more than 50 years of acting to her credit, veteran actress, Lanre Hassan, aka Iya Awero, in a chat with The Nation revealed that she feels pained that her husband did not live to see what she has become, as one of the top cross-over actresses whose name is known home and abroad.
Having lost two children while shooting, she said, “It is so painful that my husband did not live up till this moment to see what I have become today. He was very patient and understanding.

“I didn’t see any cause to remarry because doing that means I have to start all over again. I already have children and I just decided to focus on them. Having another marriage might lead to neglecting of my children, and I didn’t want that,” explaining why she didn’t remarry.

“Even when I lost two children while shooting and had people saying all sort of things, like spiritual attack, we didn’t believe in that, because my God is sufficient enough,” she added.
