Dara, the embattled wife of popular Nigerian actor Lande, has come forward with shocking revelations about their troubled marriage, sparking widespread discussions on social media.
In an exclusive interview, Dara revealed the struggles she endured in their marriage, including financial burdens, gambling issues, emotional neglect, and alleged physical abuse. According to her, she was the one who financially supported their wedding introduction, as Lande was not financially stable at the time.
She further alleged that at one point, Lande sold his personal vehicle with the promise of using the proceeds to buy another, only to later confess that he had spent all the money on gambling.
Speaking candidly about their marital issues and how his gambling addiction affected their relationship, Dara made several shocking claims:
“When I first met Lande, he had nothing. I used my own money to sponsor our introduction ceremony.”
“He is addicted to betting, especially Aviator. He plays all the time and often loses huge amounts of money. At one point, he sold his car and told me he was going to buy another one, but later, he admitted he had used all the money to gamble.”
“At home, he doesn’t give me any attention. He’s always on his phone, playing Aviator.”
“Now, he’s accusing me of dating 21 men in the industry, but I dare him to name them and provide proof. There is nobody who can come out publicly and say they have been with me.”
“During our fight, I didn’t even leave with my belongings. I only took one piece of clothing. To this day, I have not taken a single item from our home, and I am currently in debt because of him.”
“Lande can spend ₦2 million on betting without thinking twice. He also has serious anger issues, which sometimes turn into violent outbursts. I regret everything that happened in our marriage. I’m not saying this to have him judged or dragged—I just want to explain my side of the story.”
Dara’s revelations have sparked massive reactions across social media, with many people debating her claims, while others sympathized with her situation. As the video circulated, netizens flooded the comment section with mixed opinions on the matter.
See some reactions below:
@xxlbm_group: “Why bring your personal relationship issues to social media? What do you stand to gain?”
@seyifunmi133: “So now that you were caught cheating, you suddenly have all these accusations? Some women can be unbelievable.”
@DonDaada1: “If her husband already exposed proof that she was cheating with multiple men, why is an interviewer giving her a platform to justify her actions?”
@Hadelaja00: “So after your secret got exposed, now you are speaking? If you were so unhappy, why not just walk out of the marriage instead of doing all this?”
@riaclothing: “I just don’t understand what people gain from bringing their personal issues online. Public sympathy? Validation?”
@boisongod: “When Hollywood drama doesn’t work, internet drama takes over.”
@FutureBestDaddy: “So now she’s trying to justify cheating? Shameless behavior. If she wasn’t happy, why not leave instead of disrespecting her marriage?”
@fcb__urban7: “He doesn’t have money, yet he can spend ₦2 million on betting? Make it make sense.”

“Lande wasn’t rich when I married him. He spends all his money on Aviator betting. He can use ₦2 million to gamble, and he has a terrible temper. One time, he beat me mercilessly and tore my clothes.”
