“Why I so much hate Manchester United” — Victoria Inyama
Nollywood actress, Victoria Inyama may have a soft spot for many things, but when it comes to a certain club in the English Premier League, it is no love lost between her and Manchester United.
It isn’t so much as her having a specific inclination for another club that shares a rival with the Red Devils like most Chelsea fans or Liverpool fans would say, but what the Premier League club represents psychologically for her.
In a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, popular Nollywood actress Victoria Inyama opened up about the alleged domestic violence she endured during her marriage to estranged husband Godwin Okrim, attributing the abuse to his passionate support for Manchester United.
According to Inyama, Okrim would reportedly transfer his aggression onto her whenever the football club performed poorly, leading to physical abuse.
The actress described the traumatic experience, stating that she still grapples with the emotional aftermath and has developed a strong aversion to the football club as a result.
In the interview, Inyama shared,
“I hate Man Utd, ehn. The number of beatings wey dem beat me because Man United lose match ehn. Even up to today when there is a football match and Man U loses, I am like Thank God, today would have been a beating day. Even my son knows and would be laughing.”
