Nollywood screen goddess and one of the most highly rated Nigerian star actress, Funke Akindele knows she might have to set the records straight sooner or later. "My huband has never been married," she insists in response to much of the hearsay about her marriage to Almaroof.
"I am the woman he got married to. I was married properly. Alot of negative comments came from sadists who want to run their mouths. So because I am a Youth Ambassador or Celebrity, I can't have my life?" she asks rhetorically. Click to continue.
It is my life. If I do things because people want me to, I will end up unhappy. I do what I do because I want to be happy. I would still continue to teach morals and campaign against HIV/AIDS and enlighten the youths. It doesn't make me bad; that is even if it is, because I can tell you authoritatively that my husband is not married to anyone else.
Yes, he has beautiful children, who are not mine now and we have a cordial relationship, which dates back to even before we got married. 'So what if he has kids? Is that a disease? That is where my heart is! I had many non-biological children even before I got married. I take them as my own children, pay their bills and help them. I have always loved children. So now that God has given me these ones, what should I do?
Will people be happier if I had married someone who didn't have children, seem so perfect, put on my make-p and fake smile on the red carpet and start weeping when I get home?' She queries a deadpan ton.
And about my in-laws, they are very wonderful and supportive and my parents and siblings as well.

I love this babe!
ReplyDeleteNice one. I have one legacy, don't blame anyone for their actions. we all have a reason for what we do. What makes me happy does not make you happy, and we need to stay happy and not please others with our emotions.
ReplyDeleteFrom liala blog big sis .... LB
na today? go and ask other rich men who have numerous wives and children if they didn't do proper weddings with at least one woman in the harem..lesss than 1 year marriage with no child and you are already on the defensive of your husband's behaviour
ReplyDeletenow she is in-between the rock and the sea she can't opt out now but stick it out with all the polygamous drama it ll be double worse cause she s probably the most educated and enlightened
Hey faggot its her life, let her live it the way she sees fit. Don't see anyone telling you how to live yours. Just STFU already and go do som'n to be great. Sheesh!

ReplyDeleteKeep deceiving urself.
ReplyDeleteSo that pic of him and a lady in wedding gown that was circulating on her wedding day was what? Photo shop. Stop deceiving yourself, or trying to justify his randy lifestyle mumu. We know children are gifts but coming from series of women, is the height of being irresponsible.
ReplyDeleteNo be funke dey talk na jazz dey talk! Come on now! Oga o. Make he no bring HIV wey u dey campaign against come give u sha!
ReplyDeleteTell them Funke, pple will always bitter n sad. If that what you want who are we to say NO.

DeleteHmmm, Aunty Funke, those of us close to warned u.
ReplyDeletefunke we know you come home weeping now, so u can only lie to urself not to others..off you go, its ur life. People are only concern now but its obviously a mess . Polygamy is a mess, has always been and will be.
ReplyDeleteit is not even the polygamy, 3 women pregnant at the same time and u are speaking English of been the only legal wife. HIV is real, tell that to your husband.
hahahhaha this babe is too funny. What is the point of been the ONLY LEGAL wife if your husband is impregnating different women . lol. Abeg is she for real, having previous children is not the issue ,not ideal but still tolerable. The real issue Funke since you meet and started dating 2 other women are pregnant . Yuck !!!.God knws the others he has slept with. You are a spokes woman for HIV and morals and should know better. Practice what you preach, HIV is real and deadly. Your husband is not even playing safe and you are here defending him. SMH
ReplyDeleteGod help u Funke that's all I can say...N ladun she granted this interview 4 months ago !
ReplyDeleteSlow news day abi
i am sorry but she sound like an illiterate . Only Legal wife !!!. It shows how irresponsible the guy is , so the other baby mamas he was just sleeping with them and having children and continuing to bring more into this world. Does she even knw the HIV she is a spokeswoman for, abi na until she see +ve HIV test before she will start to talk intelligently .

ReplyDeleteWell,time will tell that's all I can say..it's a matter of time.
ReplyDeleteFunki baby carry go jor! Notin do u! To each her own
ReplyDeletei wish u all the best. Will remember u in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteFunke sweetie, keep your powder dry. You ought to know by now that this is part of the "celebrity package". Just leave them and let them say.
ReplyDeleteThis is not the first of rumours and babe, it will not be the last. Nobodys life is perfect. When they get tired they will move on.
Keep doing what you do best!
Sweetie pie, never speak for a man. He should be the 1 addressing the mass and declaring that u r his one and only. Not YOU!
ReplyDeleteGbam ....19.13 u hit the nail on d head
DeleteShe is in denial!
ReplyDeletefunke is an adult and i guess should be left alone to make wateva decisions she wants to make
ReplyDeleteWhy do women keep making the same mistakes over and over again? Why don't they learn from others? In every rich man's harem, there's always the latest/most educated/most favored... but it never lasts because at the end of the day, it's still a bunch of desperate women sharing one man. Funke will most likely regret this unfortunately. There is nothing good about this situation.
ReplyDeleteShe feels she's the most educated..exposed and richest of them all..the classic..iya ile!!..irresponsible traits exhibited by those before us which we vowed not to follow cos of the hurt and pain endured after their demise..due to diabolic means to acquire property..juju..murder and all sorts..and this one is yarning rubbish..anyway the proverbial..she has laid her bed....
ReplyDeleteI have said it that this guys suga-stik must be the"Rod Almighty". How else will women be flocking around him and be defending him despite his faults.
ReplyDelete@str8frmdahips says..
ReplyDeleteAlways something fishy about Yoruba muslims..they have a way of downgrading the Yoruba tribe..can't wait to see then move out and go meet their cousins up North!!
That's a very silly talk, ppl like u disgust me
DeleteAnon replying to str8 from whatever, why don't you take several seats already. Yoruba muslims are here to stay, don't hurt yourself now. Idiot.
DeleteThis matter don turn to africa magic Yoruba tinz. Which kain tin b this? He marry,he Neva marry,he born,na me be their mama, which one we go believe ooo. There's no sincerity in this country,we too dey lie. Our politicians na d oga,our celebrities go lie forget their age. Abeg, I don tire for all these naija ppl yarns,it no dey put food for my table.
ReplyDeleteFunke,best of luck ooo. It must be hard that being the legal wife,ur pikin go be #7 abi na #8. O ku suru. It is not an easy something.
Let's put all the sentiments aside. In Naija,u can only enjoy ur marriage if ur step kids mother is dead. We are talking of a situation where there's more than one woman who has kids for her husband. They will all gang up to mk her life miserable. I do not envy her one bit ooo. Ile olorogun ma le wu oo.
ReplyDelete....its d future dat matters not 'the NOW*
ReplyDeleteOro ti so ara e
ReplyDeleteI wish Funke all the best in her marriage.
Oh Funke pls shut d fuck up
ReplyDeleteYouth ambassador indeed, wonder how ungonna preach morals to them
U shd be proud of urself as in, ur followers shd jump on a bandwagon to celebrate ur stupidity
Ah no class @ all smh for u
Village champion
My husband indeed, aburo wasiu ayinde mr almaroof ken
This Tara must be stupid,how do u mean having children tolerable,you are very stupid for that statement,should she kill them. At least she knows,what if you your husband impregnates someone,what will you do ass hole.
ReplyDeleteOlodo. Tolerable as in I can still marry a man with previous children. Its no biggie, lots of men/women had kid in their youths way before marriageable age .
ReplyDeleteWhere in the statement did you see kill, oversabi . Learn to read
It' s a pity sha! But am sure Funke knws wht she's doing oºº°˚˚˚°º☺, all she need is 2 kids and get out of dis nonsense home Video called Marriage, b4 all †ђξ other illegal, uneducated n poor wives gang up to eat her up. As per ur husband Funke, he doesn't love Ʊ a bit, cos as †ђξ time he was professing †ђξ undying love for Ʊ, he was also busy fucking around without condom. Out of all †ђξ mess ups 2 got pregnant for him.
ReplyDeleteLadies!!! Wake up, don't speak for men, don't assume D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ love Ʊ, let them speak for Ʊ if D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ so care!
May God help Ʊ oºº°˚˚˚°º☺ Funke!
why are you guys insulting the poor girl? are you people better of? people on this blog are set of bastards and busy bodies that can not mind their business. Is FUNKE AKINDELE NOT A MUSLIM and the husband too? when does having many wives and having different children becomes a problem for any muslim. who told you she does not know about the other girls and wife before she got married to him? You guys are all bastards on this blog and you need to get a life
ReplyDeleteAnony 21 oct 14.55 Why don't u get ur facts right first before u come ranting . FUNKE AKINDELE IS NOT A MUSLIM ...she is a christian
DeleteWONU: ha!ha! @anon 14:55 cool down u dnt need to call everyone bastard abeg post ur comment en geraout in peace. KMT
Deletetime will tell.sha be smart!heard u studied law, open ur eyes and brains oo.
ReplyDeleteThis actress is just being silly. She is a Law graduate and knows that in case anything happens to him, the women with the kids would inherit too as per Nigerian law e.g, late Femi Johnson family case.
ReplyDeleteI hope this actress is pregnant too as per rumour mongers. Good luck to every pregnant woman in his life. Amen!
Anon 21.40, oshe gaaa ni just like Bini girls made most Nigerians think every girl from Edo is a prostitute.
ReplyDeleteeeya, i never expected u (funke) to stoop so low as to utter that statement. Legal ko, legal ni...fuck registry! U married a married man, shikena.
ReplyDeleteU can keep sayin that to urself if it makes u feel better sha.
Ur life!
