The award-winning actress disclosed in her Engage talk session that she was once involved in a relationship with a man who cheated on her barely ten days after she left the country for work.
According to Nini, Toby, her then-boyfriend of three years, got cosy with the art director on a film set in Kenya while she was in Nigeria shooting a movie.

Nini narrated how she got the news from her friend through a phone call after a long tiresome day.
"One particularly difficult day, I get off set and find dozens of missed calls from my girl Justine in Nairobi. She just wants to confirm whether I have broken up with my boyfriend of three years, Toby.
"Well, because he and the art director are getting it on a film set", Nini narrated.
Wacera thought the love between her and Toby would keep them intact for the six months she would be away in Nigeria.
