Few weeks ago, controversial Yoruba actress, Laide Bakare released a statement saying that she and her husband, Mr Olumide Okunfulure, have parted ways and that she is currently enjoying herself with another rich guy, Tunde Oriowo, who allegedly bought her a Range rover SUV and a house; she also claimed has done an Islamic introduction on her.
Many wondered what was going on that a married woman will be on "honey-moon" with another man when she and her husband are not officially divorced. But her (ex-)husband said she didn't start her promiscuous life recently, he claimed she has been sleeping around for a long time...
Laide Bakare and her Ex- Olumide Okunfulure |
It was reliably gathered that the man, Mr Olumide Okunfulure, said Laide bakare's level of infidelity is so bad that he is not even sure that he's the father of their first child and thus insisted they must go for a DNA to confirm who the real father is.
In a chat with Encomium weekly from his base in Washington district,Columbia, USA, Laide's enstranged hubby, Olumide speaks:
Encomium: Your wife, laide released a statement that she dumped you for another businessman, Mr. Tunde Oriowo because she realised that you were legally married to another wife who had given you two children, not actually single as you told her when the relationship started?
Olumide: How could I have married two women legally in Nigeria? I should be in Jail by now because there is a law that condemns such an act. How come she has not gone to court instead of media for seperation? Seperation can only come through the court.
American government gave Laide Green card because she is legally married to me, we had a court marriage in Nigeria also. When she was supposed to be a faithful wife, she would leave her matrimonial home to stay with married men in Lagos, all in the name of being actress or career lady. I couldn't monitor her because i am not always in Nigeria. In fact, there was a time she left our baby, Similoluwa with me for eight months in America in the name of career lady, i had become a nursing father. I have been trying to manage my home the way i could.
Encomium: Are you Insinuating she cheated on you?
Olumide: Yes, Of course! She did both in the past and now, all in the name of being career woman.
Encomium: If she is cheating on you both in the past and now, can you be sure of your child's paternity?
Olumide: I have made up my mind that my doctor should begin the process of DNA of our daughter to know who is the father, whether Mr. Tunde Oriowo or myself. As we speak, she brought Similoluwa back to Nigeria illegally and as we speak, the child is under her mother's care.
Laide and her daughter |
Now another one! Few months after she and her husband stopped sleeping together as husband and wife the actress has put to bed a baby boy. And she is in custody of the man that she said has gone to perform some Islamic introduction on her.
The question many people are asking now is: 'who is the REAL father of the baby?' Is the former husband or the new husband?
A source in Yoruba movie industry said that the man Laide dumped to go marry a rich guy, laughed when he heard she has giving birth. He said he has been vindicated.
