Habiba Sinare Vows Not to Marry a Northerner Again Following Divorce from Footballer Majeed Waris

 

 

Ghanaian actress Habiba Sinare has opened up about her divorce from footballer Abdul Majeed Waris, expressing her strong views on never marrying a Northerner again.

 

 

In an interview with MzGee, Sinare, who hails from Northern Ghana, spoke candidly about her experiences during her marriage and the challenges she faced.

“My father-in-law used to call me princess and sweetheart because his wife is also named Habiba, and he really liked me—at least, that’s what I thought.
