I Gave Him All I Had…Yet He Walked Out On Me Without A Single Word - Keturah Explains Relationship With Jim Iyke
Though Keturah Hamilton has once said in an interview that
Jim Iyke was and ingrate and she still finds it hard to believe he left her
after 6years with all she has gone through with him. Keturah while narrating
what she suffered in the hands of her lover boy, Jim Iyke, says he makes her
now feel men are mean and heartless. Jim is wicked, she said.
Meanwhile, Keturah has moved on with her life. “I am a
strong woman and I am moving on with my life. God cannot give you that which He
will not provide you the platform to stand and deal with. I wish him the best
in his life.”Efforts to reach Jim Iyke for his own side of the story was
abortive as his telephone lines were all switched off. But we will strive to
get his own side of the story next edition.
He made me sound and acted like a jealous lover in his reality
show, I acted crazy, I didn’t mind what people will say about me, I acted like
I was a jealous lover, because that was the exact role he wanted me to play. I
didn’t know he was setting me up. He set me up for the world to see. I gave him
all I had, I supported him, and just when we were about planning our lives, he
walked away without saying goodbye.
Oh dear, we hear these stories almost every day, but not
like 6years tho. These guys won’t ever fall in love with a poor girl, they are
always in love with made girls! Bottom line, keep your money to yourselves
ladies, keep your money!!! Buy your sisters cars, your brothers, make your mom
happy. Oh do you still have grandparents spoil them silly. Keep your money you
worked hard for it, and no boyfriend deserves it. A source said she was there
for Jim for years, ate her food for free, used her car in the States, lived in
her house for months and what have you. He just used her, the source said. I know there is someone reading this, who
would say thank God I spend my money on my boyfriend and he has been very
loyal. Thank God my own didn’t turn out like this…Really? Okay oh … we await
your readers mail when he finally breaks your heart, lol.
From Vanguard:
She sounded absolutely distraught, and utterly disconsolate. Her usual exuberance, the bonhomie which she wears like a badge of honor was missing both in her voice and in her demeanor. She was inconsolable, pained and emotionally devastated. She had every reason to feel that way.

For over six years, she had given her all to a romance that
had been celebrated, touted and written about as one that was made in heaven.
For six years, they had projected the image of a blissfully happy couple that
could do no wrong.
Her boyfriend of six years– the one that is famously
referred to as the ‘Nollywood bad boy’, Jim Iyke has finally acted out his
moniker and it is not pretty at all.
“These days, I ask God: Why has thou forsaken me? How can a
man with whom we had gone through the highs and the lows-a man who had
professed so much undying love for me over the past six years just walk away
like that? I don’t know what happened and I wish I could put a finger on it,”
Keturah had told me, sounding sad and exasperated.
Their romance was strong, and Jim had spoken severally of
plans to walk down the aisle with her. He had told me a number of times that in
Keturah, he had found “a perfect mate – someone who was “sexy, intellectually
curious, exotic and edgy.” Keturah was known all over the world as Jim
Iyke’s girlfriend – a wife in waiting.
They had traveled round the world together, and she had stood by him through
most of the scandals that have continued to trail his professional and private
life. Not even when another woman claimed to have dated Jim Iyke and later
accused him of battering her and a business deal gone awry which was amplified
in the media, she didn’t threaten to end the affair.
Keturah Hamilton, the Jamaican-born actress, model and business
woman was the partner tailor-made for Jim Iyke. She had accepted and tolerated
all of the actor’s ‘foibles, issues and challenges’ and was determined to stick
with him through thick and thin.“And then…Just when we thought the wedding
invitations will soon be mailed out; just when we thought the loving duo had
reached a point of no return in their relationship, the news broke out that the
story book romance had ruptured; that the center of the relationship could no
longer hold. Jim Iyke had ‘bailed’ out of the affair and appeared to have acted
out some of the elements in their joint reality show “Jim Iyke Unscripted.” He
was said to have ended their six year-old affair in a most emotionally callous
way. He simply walked away “without even a phone call” recounted tearful
Keturah.
“He took away six years of memories, of support of love and
all that I did for him-just like that. How mean and callous can one get?
Keturah also recounted how Jim Iyke used and dumped her.
“Jim was supposed to come to New York and stay for six months, during which
time, he would go to an acting school here in New York and then we would move
to Los Angeles and get married and pursue our acting dreams. I was looking
forward to that with eagerness and then he just walked away.”
Asked what could have been the reason for such a change of
heart, Keturah said “We had problems like normal lovers do, but we always
resolved them amicably. I know there was something Jim asked me to do, which I
didn’t want to do right away. But that should not have made him to do what he
did.”
However, when pressed to reveal what it was that Jim wanted
her to do, she said it was personal.
Keturah said she feels used and dumped. “I played along in
the reality show as if I truly was a jealous and crazy lover. It was an act,
but now I feel as if Jim set me up. He is a wicked man. I stood by him through
all his troubles and tribulations. I helped bring him to the limelight when the
light of his career was dimming. He is an ingrate and I leave him to God.”
One thing that seems to have pained Keturah more than
anything else is the rumour making the rounds that Jim left her for the
Ghanaian actress, Nadia Buari. “That is the rumour I have heard and I know it
is not just a rumour. They have been hooking up in Ghana. They were together at
Tuface’s wedding and appear to be everywhere together. I just can’t believe Jim
would be this ungrateful – after all I have done for him. I have not been able
to accept this and I am truly in a state of shock. If Jim could treat me the way
he did, after six years of being there for him, supporting him, encouraging him
in all that he did, then I wish Nadia the best of luck.”
