Ini Edo is is a native of Ibibio which hails from Akwa Ibom state’s Onna Local Government Area. She is the second child in a family of four, including an older cousin she believes to be her elder sister and two younger siblings.

Her mother was a school teacher, while her father was a church elder. She was raised in a strict and intensely religious household, which made sure she developed into the kind girl we all adore.

Even though her parents kept a careful eye on her to make sure she didn’t lose her way as she was growing up, she was the most obstinate member of her family.

Ini who is a Calabar native, graduated with a diploma in theater arts from Cornelius Connely College before continuing her education at the University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom. She continued on to the University of Calabar, where she graduated with a degree in English Language.

 

Ini and Phillip Ehiagwina, a Nigerian businessman living in the US, were legally wed in a church ceremony in Nigeria in November 2008. In February of the following year, the ceremony was performed in Houston, Texas, where her husband now resides. But, it had little effect on keeping her married. The 6-year union broke down in 2014, and the former Mrs. Ehiagwina disputed accusations that she had strayed on her husband while citing “irreconcilable disagreements” as the primary cause of her divorce. It was reported that the stunning actress kidnapped her spouse away from Ruth Okoro, who was previously wed to Philip Ehiagwina. She is the owner of a house in Lekki, Lagos, estimated to be worth up to 70 million Naira. She enjoys clubbing and owns a number of fairly costly cars.

She attended an audition with a friend during a school strike, which marked the beginning of her career in Nollywood.

The movie “Child of Destiny” cast her in the lead role. Nevertheless her breakout role came when she acted in the film, ‘World Apart'(2004) and since then she has not looked back, going on to play in more than 100 films such as ‘Games women Play’ Games Men Play and the sequel ‘Reloaded’.

Ini Edo is surrounded by wealth with a net worth of an estimated 60 million Naira thanks to her involvement in more than 150 films, several endorsements, and other projects.

Her sponsorships include agreements with Noble Hair, Slim Tea, a 10-year stint as a brand ambassador for GLO, among many more.

She also agreed to become the spokesperson for the well-known juice company Chivita. When Ini served as executive producer of the movie “Memory of my Heart,” a new phase in her career began.

Ini Edo was appointed as a youth ambassador by the executive director of the new United Nations Habitat Youth Envoys in 2011, with Ramsey Nouah and another Bollywood celebrity, Vikram Vinod.

The appointed celebrities, according to the director, were expected to engage in urban issues while also assisting the UN organization in bettering the lives of young people around the world.

In the UK’s 2013 Miss Black Beauty pageant, she served as a judge. This well-known Nollywood actor was named as one of the judges for the 2013 Miss Black UK Beauty competition in 2013.

In 2016, Udom Gabriel Emmanuel appointed her to the position of Special Assistant to the Governor of Akwa Ibom State on Culture and Tourism.
