The rumour flying around is that your marriage to Afeez Owo had
packed up. What fueled the rumour was your refusal to wish him happy
birthday a few days ago, after he had celebrated on your own birthday.
What’s happening to your marriage ?
Yes that’s the latest
news in town now. Fine my birthday was on April 12 and my husband’s own
was April 13. Fine on my birthday, he celebrated me by posting my photo
on IG with a message. But the following day, which was his birthday, I
decided not to celebrate him, because I don’t see any reason why I
should.
Of course I have read different reports about me. People
are saying different things about me without knowing why I chose not to
celebrate him on his birthday. And all these bloggers have been writing
false stories in the last three days. They said I am no longer with my
husband, I have moved out of my matrimonial home long time ago, but it
is the other way round. I am still in my husband’s house, he was the one
that moved out. He left me at home with the children for no reason.
What would you say is responsible for his act ? Are you guys having issues ?
Yeah,
we had a fight. Fight is bound to happen in any relationship. It was a
minor fight which I felt could be resolved without anyone knowing about
it. Couples have issues everywhere in the world. This is a man I have
been married to for the past 13 years, you can imagine how many issues
we must have had in the past 13 years. Whether I was the one at fault,
or he was wrong, we have had a bigger issue which we resolved amicably.
The painful part of it was that the one that led to him leaving the
house was just a minor issue. The fight was over the well-being of our
kids and the next thing my husband did was to move out of the house. I
believe he has been planning to leave the house; he just used that as an
excuse to do so. He moved out and two weeks after he left, I heard he
has rented another apartment where he now stays. Why did he make that
choice? Why didn’t he think of coming back to the house to resolve the
issue with his wife? I am his woman. I have been his wife for the past
13 years.
I’m still in his house in Abule Egba. Anyone that is
close to me knows where I stay. We have been living there for about four
years and I am still there with my kids. He abandoned me with the
children, I never moved out.
Did you make any effort to inform his friends or any of his family members about the development?
I
told some of his colleagues when it happened. Since he decided to leave
the house, I have also decided to be on my own and take care of my
kids.
This is not the first time reports will emerge that you
have ended your marriage with him. Before now, have you had any issue
that led to you parting company?
It’s all rumour. This is the first time we are having crisis in our marriage.
If he comes back home, are you ready to resolve your differences with him ?
When
he comes back, we will see if we can work it out. I have faced a lot
since he left, and I think I am a strong woman now. I am concentrating
more on my job and how to take care of my kids.
Or you think the differences can no longer be resolved ?
Well, I don’t know for now. I don’t know why a man I call my husband will want to spoil my career.
How do you mean ?
Because
somebody must have initiated this rumour. What everybody is saying is
that I didn’t celebrate him on his birthday after he had celebrated me a
day before his birthday which happened to be my birthday. But it is
just a camouflage. He was trying to give people impression that he’s
cool with his wife, which is not true. This is a woman you have
abandoned for 3 months. You abandoned her with five children for that
matter.
(Cuts ) We thought you guys have two kids together.
Yes,
we have two kids of our own. But we have two cousins that have been
living with us for the past 10 years and a house help. He left without
looking back. He doesn’t care how we feed, he has not been calling to
know how I have been surviving with the kids all these while and he now
went to Instagram to wish me happy birthday. He’s pretending, giving
people impression that I am the woman of his life. You call me your
angel and you have not given me food for the past three months. Can you
allow your angel to starve to death ? The message was a total deception.
So if I now do the same thing on his birthday, then who am I fooling?
Myself? Him? Or our fans? I don’t think I should celebrate a man that
doesn’t wish me well.
Has he acted this way before ?
No. He has not done this before.
Apart
from the fight you had over the kids’ welfare, could it be he’s tired
of the marriage probably you gave him hell recently that made him take
the decision of packing out.
Why would I give him hell? This
is a woman that has been supporting you all these while. If I want to
make life miserable for him, I won’t be working. I am a workaholic. At
least you can see the way I have been running up and down since you got
here. I work a lot and I try as much as possible to be there for my
family.
Is he planning to take another wife?
I
don’t know. The reasons for abandoning me are best known to him. All I
know is that he must have been planning to leave the house for a long
time. I don’t think a responsible man will leave his wife and kids for 3
months. I have never heard this before.
There’s this story
that you have always been involved in extra-marital affair. Recently,
there was a report that you are dating a National Union of Road
Transport Worker topshot. How true is this?
All the stories
about me having extra-marital affairs are not true. One thing in this
life is that people judge you by your appearance, which is not supposed
to be so. I always tell people that if you see an innocent looking
person, please don’t be totally convinced that the person is a saint.
And when you see someone looking very flashy don’t think she’s
irresponsible. I am a very hardworking woman and I don’t have time for
such. If I am flirting around, I don’t think I will have time to be
here.
Any regret going into the marriage?
I never
had any regret, if I did, I would have left on my own. I am a mature
woman. If I was tired of the marriage, I would have walked out myself.
