In Nigeria, people are always talking about famous couples and their marriages. Some last, but sadly, some don’t. Let’s take a look at the marriage of  celebrities which ended in 2023.

Israel DMW and Sheila Courage,

Israel DMW, who works for Davido, and Sheila Courage, who is a model, songwriter, and TV presenter, were married for only one year. Sheila, not only known for her talents but also as the daughter of a well-known pastor, caught the public’s attention. Their wedding in October 2022 was attended by many celebrities. However, things went bad when Israel claimed on November 25, through an Instagram post, that Sheila married him just for fame. This led to the end of their marriage.

Bolanle Ninalowo

Popular Nollywood actor Bolanle Ninalowo shocked fans by announcing the end of his 17-year marriage to Bunmi. This wasn’t the first time their relationship hit the rocks; in 2017, they confirmed a separation after 12 years together. Despite reuniting in 2018, the couple decided to part ways for good, with Ninalowo stating on September 1, 2023, that the breakup was the best for all parties involved.

 

BRed

Nigerian artiste B-Red, Davido’s cousin, faced a marriage breakdown with Faith Johnson in 2023. Despite keeping their wedding private, they claimed to be happily married. However, allegations of abuse and infidelity surfaced, leading to a public fallout. The couple, parents to a son born in 2019, unfollowed each other on Instagram and engaged in a public exchange of accusations.

Despite denials from Damola, Bukola moved out earlier in the year and officially announced their separation on Instagram. The couple, who share twins, couldn’t salvage their relationship.

 

Demola Odulaja And Farida Sobowale

Farida Sobowale made headlines with an attempted suicide following the collapse of her two-month-old marriage to Demola Odulaja. Demola attributed the breakup to Farida’s alleged promiscuity. The public revelation of personal issues highlighted the challenges celebrities face in maintaining their marriages.

Yomi Gold

In January 2023, Yomi Gold, a famous Yoruba actor and producer, announced that he and his second wife Meenah were getting a divorce. Yomi admitted his part in the breakup and said Meenah is a good person, giving people a peek into their relationship.

These celebrity breakups, like Yomi’s, grab people’s interest and show that being famous doesn’t make relationships immune to challenges. Fans are curious about the personal lives of these stars, which often play out in the public eye.

Olajumoke Onibread Accuses Ex-Husband Of Assault, Career Sabotage

Published

on

Model Olajumoke Orisaguna, popularly known as Olajumoke Onibread, has opened up about her traumatic experiences in her marriage, accusing her ex-husband, Sunday Orisaguna, of domestic violence and ruining her career.

In an interview with City FM, Olajumoke shared harrowing details of her past, highlighting the abuse she endured during her time in her ex-husband’s family home in Ire, Osun State.

“We stayed in my husband’s family house at Ire in Osun State, and there is no way you stay in such a place that you would not encounter problems,” she recounted.

Olajumoke revealed that her mother-in-law’s hostility exacerbated the situation, as her ex-husband often sided with his mother without hearing her perspective.

“He would not hear my own side of the story before beating me. Whenever I had a misunderstanding with his mother, he would beat me to the extent that my face and body would be swollen. Sometimes he would even use a belt,” she said.

She further explained how she kept the abuse hidden to avoid upsetting her mother, who also lived nearby. Despite the hardships, Olajumoke continued to support the family financially, as her husband was unemployed.

Reflecting on a pivotal moment in January 2016, Olajumoke described the day she decided to leave:
“We were frying akara for his dad’s remembrance when I had an issue with his elder sister. As usual, he beat me up, and I decided that I was going to leave, move to Lagos, and start working at the bakery because I had been there before.”

Three days later, she relocated to Lagos with her two children. According to Olajumoke, the separation led to further challenges as her ex-husband began tarnishing her reputation, contributing to her career’s decline.

“Everything started going down the drain after separation because he started spoiling my name. Since then, things started going down,” she lamented.

Olajumoke, who rose to fame in 2016 after a chance encounter during a photoshoot with British rapper Tinie Tempah and photographer TY Bello, is now using her platform to shed light on the struggles she endured.

The model’s story has reignited conversations about domestic abuse and the societal pressures faced by women in similar situations.
