I’ll turn down suitor who doesn’t support my career – Imade Osawuru, actress

Renowned Nollywood filmmaker, Imade Osawaru, known for her captivating performances in movies like A Fool for Trust; Last Affair; and Sweet Mama’s House, has revealed her expectations from Mr. Right and what would make her reject a suitor.

A native of Ugha Okhuoihe in Edo State, Osawaru revealed that honesty, respect, and emotional maturity are non-negotiable qualities in her potential partner.

“I value honesty, respect, and emotional maturity in any relationship. A suitor who lacks these qualities, or someone who doesn’t support my career and ambitions, would definitely be a no-go for me. Mutual respect is key. Everyone has faced heartache at some point, and I’m no exception. It’s always painful, but I believe in learning from those experiences, focusing on personal growth, and moving forward with grace. Life has taught me to never let disappointment define me,” she told Saturday Sun.
