Iheme Nancy is not only winning on screen, she’s claiming her power off-screen too. In a candid, no-holds-barred conversation, the Nollywood actress bared her soul about relationships, heartbreak, and why she’s done settling for less.
“I’m a relationship person. Once someone grabs me, they don’t want to let go,” she said. “But I just sacked someone recently, on Valentine’s Day. I got tired,” she said.
She explained that her ex couldn’t match her emotional maturity.
“He acted like a child. Every day, quarrels. You want to know where I am, but you don’t want to tell me where you are. Are you not crazy?”
Nancy made it clear that she doesn’t chase men.
“I’m a sweet, fine girl. Nobody dumps me, I dump men. I said it with my full chest,” she added.
According to the actress, her love life took a major hit when her mother passed away.
“That was my last heartbreak. Since then, no man can bring me wahala. Life is too precious,” she said.
While she loves romance, she’s not one for unnecessary drama.
“I love sweet men, men who don’t stress you. If you want this, they will give it to you. No pressure, no questions like, ‘Have you eaten?’ Meanwhile, I’ve been fasting since I met you,” she joked.
Reflecting on her first serious relationship, she described her then-boyfriend as someone who supported her deeply.
“He rented an apartment for me and furnished it. I wasn’t in the hostel like others. He really helped me,” she recounted.
But betrayal came not from him directly, but from a friend who was staying under her roof.
“This girl was jealous of me. I used to gist her about the guys who liked me. Unknowingly, she went behind me and started sleeping with my man,” she added.
Nancy said she eventually discovered the affair but still maintained her queen status.
“She didn’t snatch anything useful. I was still collecting my gifts. I know how to follow my man and collect my own. She collected rubbish,” she stated.
These days, Nancy maintains a small circle of friends and a strong sense of self-worth.
“If I come out of a relationship, I take time to heal. But I’m a baby girl. I like attention. I’m loyal. I tell my man where I am, what I’m doing; no secrets. But don’t try to play me; I will notice, and I will leave,” she warned.
