Popular Nollywood actress, Teniola Aladese, has revealed that she felt anger towards God after the death of her ex-boyfriend. The actress shared this emotional experience during an interview on the show With Chude.

Reflecting on the tragic event, Aladese, known for her role in The Christmas In Lagos, recounted the emotional turmoil she experienced when her former partner passed away just months after their breakup.

“He passed a couple of months after we broke up and was even dating someone else after we ended things. We still remained friends, but after he passed, it was a huge blow – on me, on his friends, on his family members. I don’t even want to know how his mum copes. He was the only son. One daughter, one son,” she said.

The actress admitted that coming to terms with the loss was challenging and that she questioned God due to the untimely nature of his death.

“For me, it took a lot of reassurance that people come into this world for a certain purpose. Because the reason I was angry with God was that this guy had his whole life ahead of him. He was so talented, he was a writer. He had plans to direct and even after we broke up, he said to me, ‘You are still going to produce my films.’ And so there were all these plans, and just like that, accident and the guy goes. I am like, ‘Why would you allow this to happen?’” Aladese shared.

Despite her grief, the actress found solace in believing that her ex-boyfriend fulfilled his purpose during his time on earth.

“Now what I use to console myself is that he was here for a purpose. He left his mark. All of us that were his friends remember him for who he was and for how good of a person he was,” she concluded.
