I'm in desperate need of a husband - The 56-year-old actress weeps.

Eucharia Anunobi, a veteran Nollywood actress, is in desperate need of a husband.

In a recent interview with BBC Igbo, the actress expressed her intention.

"Please, I utilize this occasion to tell the world that I urgently want to marry," she was quoted as saying. A magnificent man should appear and place a ring on my ring finger.

"I'm looking for a God-fearing and attractive man." He must be capable, with all of the qualities that make a guy male. All I can say is that you must be whole."

This comes just days after the internet was flooded with rumors of her secret affair with her younger coworker, Lucky Oparah.

Eucharia's marriage to Charles Edwu, her ex-husband, ended in 2006.

Raymond Ekwu, the sole child born to the couple, died at the age of 15 from problems related to sickle cell anemia.
