“Stephanie Okereke is not in my class,” Ex-lover Chikelue Iloanusi blasts

You probably thought the world was delighted for Stephanie Okereke, as she tied the knots with Linus Idahosa, in a fairy tale wedding. You were probably wrong. Stephanie’s ex, Chikelue Iloanusi, has spoken out on his relationship with the Nollywood star and her new marriage. The former Super Eagles star emphatically denied claims that he had been married to another woman – the reason Stephanie gave for dissolving their affair. “If I had been married to another woman and she had the documents to
prove it, nobody would talk about the court striking the case out,” he told NET’s Nonye Ben Nwankwo. “What she should be suing me for would have been bigamy. Nobody has charged me for bigamy. If I was charged with that, I would have defended myself and provided every document to show the real state of things. Everybody in Nigeria knows that when you have two marriages, you will be charged with bigamy.‘ In the same breath he wished her the best in her new marriage, he also had a few harsh words for the paparazzi surrounding her marriage that held in Paris. “Even if she wants to remarry, does she have to tell the general public about it? Nobody is stopping her. Everything about life is about upbringing and orientation, but I wish her the best of luck. I’m not competing with her. She no longer exists in my life. I hope she doesn’t come out of this marriage again and start going to newspapers saying the man did this or that to her. I don’t want anybody to break her heart.” Iloanusi is quick to reiterate that he has moved on with his life. “I’ve moved on very well and very fast. I have parted ways with her. I don’t have anything to do with her and I’ll never have anything to do with her. I’ll not wish her bad luck. She is not news to me…My fans should ignore her and whatever she says about me. It is not as if I cannot respond to everything she has been saying about me in the newspapers, it is just that she is not in my class.” Is he jealous? “Why should I be jealous of her? She is in the past,” he fired back. “I’ve moved on with my own life. There is absolutely no reason for me to be jealous…If you ask me, I will tell you she doesn’t exist in my life. We’re not on the same level… Some people phoned me to say she would wed in Paris, but I don’t care. She can go and marry in heaven‘. Iloanusi’s marriage with Stephanie was dissolved earlier this year, after the case was in court for five years. Stephanie got married to Linus Idahosa in April 2012.
