“I wasn’t the one who left the marriage; he simply stopped coming home. At one point, I was given kerosene to drink. – Mama No Network

Yoruba Nollywood actress, Atinuke Kazeem, better known as Mama No Network, has opened up about her broken marriage to her colleague, Baba Lanko.
The comic actress, in an interview with her colleague, Biola Adebayo, on the YouTube show, ‘Talk with B’, revealed how she and Lanko worked together to produce films.
The movie star said Lanko sought to marry another wife after he found fame and money.
Atinuke also stated that after the dissolution of their marriage, Lanko blocked her from appearing in the same films as him.
The thespian further recounted the struggles she faced with infertility during their marriage, including undergoing extreme measures like drinking kerosene, which made her bloated.
She added that God eventually
“answered her prayers” by making her conceive naturally.
In her words,
“My ex-husband, Lanko, and I worked hard to produce many films. But when money and fame came, he told me he wanted to marry a new wife.
“After we parted ways, he told producers not to feature me in the same projects as him. Today, however, he now uses his money to call me for movie roles, and I give glory to God.
“I wasn’t the one who left the marriage; he simply stopped coming home. During our time together, I faced immense difficulties while trying to have a child. I went through hell.
“At one point, I was given kerosene to drink. All those desperate measures affected me, leading to my bloated stomach. When I finally gave up hope, God answered my prayers, and the pregnancy came naturally.”
In May 2023, Mama No Network tied the knot to a younger partner.
