Nollywood actress, Monalisa Chinda who recently remarried 12 years after her first Marriage has revealed her greatest lesson in life.

 She posted on Instagram “The greatest lesson I have learned is knowing that the battle isn’t ours, but it’s the Lord’s. Some things that happen are bigger than us but nothing is bigger than Him.”

 The actress, who is also a TV host, held her traditional wedding in Port Harcourt also spoke about her marriage in a recent newspaper interview.

  “I’m designed to be under a man. I’m not going to lie that I like this single mother nomenclature. But whereby there is no one at the moment, one is bound to get used to the situation. It’s not a do-or-die affair because I have been there before. Anything I’m going to do now, it has to be done right. I’m not in the school of thought where the first one happened and perhaps, the second one. No, any bold step I have to take in settling down again, it has to be right. I’m not ready to make another mistake.

 Monalisa added: “One thing I regret most is the fact that I am divorced. Where I come from, I am the first daughter. I am from a royal family; it was never on record in my family that the first daughter would walk out of her matrimonial home.

But it (my marriage) was a matter of life and death. Otherwise, I would have stayed back and made my marriage work. I tried to make it work, but it takes two people to tango. That’s the only thing I regret, having to raise my child without the father. It’s a bit painful. But I have to live with it. It’s better that way than to expose my little daughter to all sorts of domestic violence. It will definitely disorient her and affect her upbringing. She will be dysfunctional.’
