  • “My marriage to Tonto Dikeh was a mistake”- Olakunle Churchill

    Before Ayinla Kollington and Salawa Abeni’s marriage hit the rocks, celebrity marriages have been known to be painfully transient.Just like any other marriage, the list of what can possibly go wrong is unbelievably long. What’s different for Celebrity marriages is the huge interest of fans and friends in their affairs. The nightmare of the 9ice- Toni Payne marital crisis is still fresh in our memories. From all indications, Tonto Dike and Olakunle Churchill are about to join the list of celebrities with failed marriages.

    The humanitarian has disclosed bluntly that his marriage to Tonto Dikeh is over. Churchill who was quizzed at a press conference revealed that what Tonto Dikeh has been saying in the media is false. According to him,Tonto will say anything to buy the public’s sympathy. He said:” They are all fabricated, because my partner believes she’s a celebrity and she can make people believe whatever she wants them to believe and using her celebrity status to manipulate people to believe what she wants and she’s in the business of make-belief but I’m a businessman, a man of very few words too. I am a private person, but she prides herself on the fact that she has the platform and fan base to bring anyone down and she also feels by the time she deals with me, I’ll come back begging.

    “I met Tonto like 6-months before she took in, so where did the initial 4 months pregnancy come from or did it come after she gave birth to my son? Because she traveled during her pregnancy and came back when King was 4-month old and we had only stayed together for about 6-months after that before all the issues started, she was still breast feeding. And if indeed she had and lost a 4-month pregnancy, that will require for her to do an evacuation, which hospital did it for her and evidence does she have? It was all done to bring down my image and to destroy my reputation”.

     

    Churchill has clearly given up on the marriage and not ready to mend their broken walls. According to him:” My marriage to Tonto Dikeh was a mistake and I knew it when I was going into it. I knew I was going into danger, but I was ready to go into it to save her, but right now I do not care anymore, I’m done, I can’ deal with it anymore. I don’t want the relationship anymore. She says I borrowed money from her and I’m like how? Where is the evidence? At least I gave her 10 million naira last Christmas and I have proof of payment, so if she borrowed me money, she should prove it.All these kind of negativity comes from someone who said she fasted 21 days before she met me, someone who said I brought her closer to God, so where is God in this situation and the way she wants my downfall?”

    When asked If he is going to remarry anytime soon, he said:”I don’t have any plans for marriage now, it’s just business because I’m still in shock”.

I do not want to get married because everyone is doing it; I have to be convinced that I have met the right person. At the right time, I would announce if I have found love.”

     

     

  • How my marriage to Femi Branch crashed- Femi Branch’s ex-wife declares

    Like a scene in a movie, Femi Branch’s ex-wife Ibitola has opened up on how her marriage to the actor crashed. She said apart from being beaten, her story of financial deprivation spiked with humongous lies by her actor husband of ten years whom she accused of living a reckless life, sounds unconceivable.

    Speaking in an interview with Encomium magazine, she said:” I came back from work that day, and he went out as well. I waited till 11 pm and I didn’t see him. I tried calling him on phone when I didn’t see him. He complained that I was screaming, I apologized for screaming and I asked him for his whereabouts. I told him he wouldn’t have gone that long since he wasn’t on location. All he said was that he was coming, he also said I was screaming which I apologized for again. But Femi did not come back to the house till 1am. I was up waiting since he said he was coming.

    “When he came, I went to open the gate and I told his friend that I wouldn’t come down that late again if he comes back late. I was really upset. I asked his friend to warn him because of another time. I added that he should be telling me if he would come home or not because that wasn’t his first time. The next thing Femi said was, “You dey craze.” And I replied the same way. He started bragging, “Do you know who you are talking to? I am Femi Branch,” and he descended on me and started beating me. He was hitting me hard and his friend was trying to stop him. He left me and went upstairs and told me to meet him upstairs. His friend said I shouldn’t go, but where will I go by that time? So I went upstairs. Femi continued beating me and insulting me. His friend tried to intervene again, all these while I never raised my hands against him. You can imagine him with his stature hitting me. His friend said I shouldn’t sleep in the house, so I followed him because he was also a married man with a kid. I slept in his house that night”

    The embittered ex-wife said Branch is totally different from what he projects to the public. Hear her:” It is unfortunate outsiders have a different picture of him. Femi is someone who can be in church speaking in tongues and the next minute he is out with the guys drinking, smoking and womanizing. He acts a lot. He is not the same person at home and outside”.

  • ‘When my marriage fell apart, I felt I had failed’-Chigurl

    Nigerian comedienne, Chioma Omeruah aka Chigul has shared a part of her life no one knows about. Speaking on Kemi Adetiba’s King Women series, the bubbly entertainer revealed that her marriage crashed just after one year even though she married as a virgin. She revealed that her estranged husband had a love child amongst other deep issues.

    According to her: “When my marriage fell apart, I felt like I failed at something and I had nowhere to learn. It fell apart and I didn’t want it to fall apart. I felt like I disappointed my dad because we talked about it before he died. I felt like when I needed people for me then, no one was. No one was there and I wanted people to be there, I wanted to be able to go to my mum and cry and say I’m tired. Then she’ll just always say, go back to your husband”.

     

    Speaking further, she said she was shattered when she discovered her estranged husband had a love child: “The worst was when I discovered that my husband had a child with someone else. This was a year into my separation. When I found out my mum had heard, I was like, I’m done with everyone. Don’t talk to me. But I later thought about it. How was she supposed to tell me? I knew it affected her, I knew the way my life was going affected her. The worst thing for me is not being in a relationship, I wanted to give her grandchildren, I wanted us to bond over those things and my success with my life, career is great., it’s wonderful, I thank God for it every day but I want other things too”.

  • ‘You have to quit being an actress before you can enjoy your marriage-‘ Habibat Jinad

    ‘You have to quit being an actress before you can enjoy your marriage-‘ Habibat Jinad

    Habibat Jinad is one beautiful actress who has been able to rise rapidly in the Yoruba sector of Nollywood. Many people who know her would remember her for her refreshing show ‘Miliki Express’ TV Show and Olowosibi . The talented role interpreter has starred in movies like “Omo K’omo”, “Iku L’okunrin”, and “Irin Ajo Eda Laye,” to name a few. In this interview with TheNewsGuru, she talks about her foray into acting, combining marriage with acting ,Mercy Aigbe’s marital crisis and lot’s more.

     

    Venturing into Nollywood

    I started acting in 2007; later joined Afeez Abiodun (Owo) in the year 2008 and I graduated from his school in the year 2010. Immediately after my graduation in the year 2010, someone insulted me saying, I’m not useful in the movie industry. I cried profusely, even my boss Afeez Abiodun , had to beg me. I had to pray to God for him to do wonders in my career.God answered my prayers. When I wanted to shoot my movie, the person who criticized me was part of my crew members.

    The craziest thing a fan has ever done

    The craziest thing a fan did to me was to give me a large sum of money. I went to Shoprite Ikeja and the guy was just staring at me. I greeted him and he immediately told me that he actually thought I wasn’t going to greet him.He walked up to me and asked for my account details. He transferred 250,000 in my account immediately. I was speechless .The funniest part of it was that he didn’t ask for my phone number. He simply said he loves the way I act and encouraged me.

     

    Changes you will love to see in Nollywood

    From my own perspective, we need more money in the industry, without money I’m sorry to say this we can’t go far. We also need to focus on producing movies people can learn from. Even If its once in a year a filmmaker makes a movie, the impact is what is important.

    Hasty fame

    Those looking for quick fame, will not last in Nollywood. Your talent, humility and perseverance will make you go far in Nollywood.

    Using what you have to get what you want

    I don’t believe in that philosophy. Watch out for people who have that mindset. Its either they don’t believe in themselves or they cannot act.

     

     

    Actors becoming filmmakers

    It is not necessary for actors to be filmmakers, but playing the lead role In your own movie gives you an edge and makes you get noticed by other filmmakers

     

    Lucrativeness of acting

    To be candid some Yoruba producers don’t really pay good money, so it is good to have something doing aside acting in order to have something to fall back on.

    Lesson learnt from Mercy Aigbe’s marital crisis

    I have always been learning from other people’s experiences. Marriage is another school entirely. If you want to keep your marriage, you have to quit acting before you can enjoy it. That’s just the truth. If I love my husband, I should be able to quit acting If he wants me to.

     

    Definition of a sexy woman

    A sexy woman has to be intelligent and humble. It is not about showing off your boobs or bum. A man knows a beautiful lady whenever he sees one. Showing off your boobs will not guarantee you a man.

     

     

    Complexion getting her roles

    I don’t think my complexion gets me roles but my talent does.

    Mercy Aigbe’s marriage crisis

    When I heard about Mercy Aigbe’s marriage crisis, I actually felt so bad. I felt bad because people will start saying negative things about actresses. They will start labeling us, saying that actresses cannot stay in their marriages. Coming into the movie industry was not easy for me. I didn’t have the intention of separating from my husband. I had to because he beats me and even packs my suitcases out whenever we disagree. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I had to leave the marriage. I know he is now regretting at the moment. Mercy Aigbe did the right thing by leaving. We won’t wait till when we lose her to celebrate her courage.

     

    Coping as a single parent

    That’s a tough question; it’s not been easy at all. I just have to thank God for the kind of people I have who have been supportive.

  • ‘You went into marriage for money’-Fans blast Tonto Dike

    ‘You went into marriage for money’-Fans blast Tonto Dike

    Sensational actress Tonto Dikeh, who is still moaning her failed marriage to Oladunni Churchill has been condemned by her fans over an Instagram post purportedly shared to slam her estranged husband.

    In the message, Dike shared the analogy of a frog a who was put in a boiling water but failed to jump out. Many of her fans thinking she was making reference to her failed marriage, decided to criticize her.

    Tonto Dike wrote:” Put a frog into a vessel filled with water and start heating the water. As the temperature of the water begins to rise, the frog adjusts its body temperature accordingly. The frog keeps adjusting its body temperature with the increasing temperature of the water. Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog cannot adjust anymore. At this point the frog decides to jump out. The frog tries to jump but it is unable to do so because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature. Very soon the frog dies. What killed the frog? Think about it!

    “I know many of us will say the boiling water. But the truth about what killed the frog was it\’s own inability to decide when to jump out. We all need to adjust & when we need to move on. There are times when we need to face the situation and take appropriate actions. If we allow people to exploit us physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually or mentally they will continue to do so. Let’s us decide when to jump! Let’s jump while we still have the strength. Are you ready to #Jump #Tontotoldme #KINGTONTO #MAMAKING #RADICALFORJESUS @shadesofjacen‎”
