Popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, has said she bears no grudge
against her estranged husband, Almaroof Oloyede. She said also she has
learnt from her mistakes in her crashed marriage to him.
“Yes
my marriage has crashed. Let the people who are laughing at me continue
laughing. My job, after all, is to make people laugh. Let those who are
without sins or mistakes cast the first stone. Let them continue
judging me. God is the overall judge; He is the one I look up to,” she
said in an interview with blogger, Stella Dimoko Korkus, on Saturday.
“It’s
my private life. I know I am a public figure but I am entitled to some
privacy, at least. What has happened has happened; no one is beyond
mistakes. I will take corrections from this and apply where necessary
from now on. I bear Mr. Kehinde Oloyede no ill feelings,” Akindele
stated.
The actress, popularly known as Jenifa, also denied falsifying reports of the marriage crash and threats to sue the media.
Akindele
said contrary to earlier reports, she had not been picking calls due to
her busy schedule. “I will address this issue now and, thereafter, face
my career and try to concentrate on the things I have on my plate at
the moment.”
Meanwhile, Akindele removed Oloyede from all her social media account names especially Facebook and Twitter.
Her husband had last Monday, purportedly posted a message on his Facebook page, announcing the breakup.
“It’s
with heavy heart that I am announcing the separation of me and my wife,
Mrs. Olufunke Akindele. We’ve both agreed to go our separate ways
because of irreconcilable differences. We are still best of friends and
we would forever remain good friends,” the post read.
The post was said deleted shortly after.
Oloyede
was said to have posted another message, “Am doing just fine and
getting along without you. Don’t need you anymore in my life. You are
the greatest mistake I have made in recent time…Kehinde Oloyede.”
These were followed by reported rebuttals from Akindele.
Akindele’s
elder sister, manager, and Principal Consultant, NEECEE Entertainment,
Ayo Ola-Muhammed, however, issued a press release on behalf of the
actress on Friday.
It read, “Dear friends, on behalf of our
client, star actress, Funke Akindele, we want to formally inform you
that after due consultation and consideration, she’s now separated from
Mr. Kehinde Oloyede as his wife.
“She, hereby, urges her fans and
all concerned to pray and wish her the best as she moves on in her
career. Kindly note that this is the first and only official statement
from Funke Akindele on the matter, and will be glad if her wish is
respected. Thank you.”
