Monalisa Chinda speaks about her failed marriage to Dejo Richards.

Monalisa Chinda says the reason her first marriage crashed was that she married the wrong person at the right time.

Monalisa Chinda’s first marriage to Segun Dejo Richards crashed after five years.

The actress made this known while granting an interview with The Sun.

The actress was asked if she sees her past marriage as a mistake or regret ever taking such a decision.

According to her, she was young and naive at that time and the person she got married to was wrong for her.

“No, I don’t see it as a mistake. I was just young and naive. I met the wrong person at the right time. The person was wrong for me, so what I did was to dust the dirt off my body and move on,” she said.

In 2009, Chinda was the talk of the town after her marriage to Dejo Richards hit the brick wall.

It was alleged that Chinda faced domestic violence and abuse while married to Richards. They have a daughter, Tamar together.
