Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire has confirmed the finalisation of her divorce from actor Frederick Leonard Mmaduabuchi, sparking widespread reactions across social media. In a brief but powerful post, she wrote, “Thank You Jesus. It Is Done,” a message many interpreted as her official declaration that the legal process has been completed. The announcement, shared on her social media platforms, quickly went viral, drawing both support and criticism from fans, followers, and fellow celebrities.
Her post resonated with many who saw it as a moment of personal liberation and spiritual victory. Supporters flooded her comments with messages of encouragement, with some calling her a “queen” and praising her strength. Others, however, questioned the growing trend of publicly celebrating the end of marriages, especially in a culture where divorce is still often stigmatised. Some social media users expressed concern that such celebrations might normalise relationship breakdowns, while others found humor in the situation.
Reactions ranged from heartfelt congratulations to sharp commentary. One user, @Chigozie Ezeike BlackGeezuz, wrote, “Thank you Jesus when married.. thank you Jesus when divorced.. Ike gwuru,” highlighting the spiritual tone of the post. Another, @Eze Michael Chika, joked, “This people will make marriage look like a War zone, celebrating divorce like soldier that came back from Sambisa forest after 10 years 😄,” drawing a vivid comparison. @Ezinma Nkiruka remarked, “Celebrities and failed marriage na 5&6,” pointing to the high-profile nature of such separations in the entertainment industry.
Some users took a more reflective tone, with @Collins Kosisochukwu Ofodozie noting, “In the beginning it’s all a sweet thing. Now divorce is the case,” suggesting a sense of disillusionment. @Ada Pretty questioned the irony, asking, “Which one is thank you Jesus. It is done? Abi crying in the irony 🤔,” hinting at the emotional complexity behind the public announcement. Others, like @Osemwegie Pauline, saw it as a new chapter, joking that Peggy would now “leave slay queens and baddies alone cos she has seen that na them dey win.”
There were also comments addressing gender dynamics, with @Nze Ka Nze observing, “I just wish Leo will make his own post that he is finally free, u will see that gender attacking him.. but for this one they are congratulating her. Lolzz.” Meanwhile, @Paul Ojochegbe Odobi playfully suggested, “We’re now on the look for Peggy Nation cult… Frederick Leonard should be prepared o 😂,” showing how the news has become a cultural moment.
The divorce of Peggy Ovire and Frederick Leonard, who were married for several years, marks another high-profile split in Nigeria’s entertainment industry. As public figures, their journey has been closely watched, and their separation continues to spark conversations about marriage, celebrity life, and societal expectations. With the divorce now finalised, attention turns to how both individuals will move forward in their personal and professional lives.
