In a recent interview with Encomium
magazine, Funke Akindele's ex husband,
Keyinde Oloyede Almaroof, said that he
was building a house for his wife before
she ended the marriage. He revealed that
it's a one-storey building (uncompleted)
located off Adeniji Jones in Ikeja, adding
that the rejection of the building was one
of he reasons for their split.
in a revealing chat with E-247 magazine,
Funke Akindele sort of replied her
husband's interview…
Read what Funke told E24-7MAGAZINE
after the cut:
That place is not for me, I have been
through hell and back.
I was abused emotionally and verbally.
Really, I felt we could work things out
when the trouble started two months
after the marriage.
But I made up my mind and shut the
door of the marriage at him when the
trouble was coming to me too much.
I stooped to conquer him; buried my
fame and name to make him my
husband, but it did not work. At a point
in time, I asked if it's not the same man
that was all over me before we married.
He nearly got me off my career. He
called me severally; I did not pick his
calls but when he realized my silence
was tormenting him, he took to
Facebook.
It's alright.
Ask him when did he come to my house
last? He left me here in my rented
apartment with nothing and he will just
dash in and dash out. He gets abusive,
caustic anytime we have a
misunderstanding and often told me to
my face, he's going to his wife in
Oshodi.
He sent me SMS that he has seen a
buyer for his house at Adeniyi Jones for
N40million. He asked me if he should
sell it and that if he does, he will buy
me a new car and a rent me a new
apartment.
Why now? I don't need all that, I want
my sanity. I respect him to the end but
he chose to treat me that way. He said
he wanted to clip my wings.
After Funke ignored him, he sent her
another text abusing her and calling her
names.
"So you can see that he does not mean
well for me," Funke re-iterated.
Funke and Kehinde rarely spent
substantial time together even at the
peak of their marriage.
Both kept to hectic schedules by virtue of
their chosen professions.
While Funke is often involved in back-to-
back shooting on movie sets, Kehinde
jumps from one construction site to
another; pressing buttons for his political
ambitions; and keeping dates with his
wife at home and other women by the
side.
Besides, Kehinde's disturbing and
haunting pasts have repeatedly stared
Funke right in the face, and according to
E24-7 MAGAZINE's impeccable source,
Funke learnt shockingly that her once
beloved hubby was expelled from the
University of Jos almost as soon as he was
matriculated as a student of the ivory
tower.
His admission, was faulty right from the
beginning and since that first attempt at
tertiary education went awry, he shut his
door at education. When he returned
from Jos, he found strength in his
entrepreneurial skill coupled with the
influence and support of his mother, a
market leader and successful
businesswoman; he became an estate
developer, building chains of shops in
Oshodi market.
Gradually, he crept into politics and his
popularity soared that he became a well-
known grassroots politician and a great
mobilizer.
To shore up his image, he found in Funke
who has become monstrously popular
with her movie, Jenifa and the sequel,
The Return of Jenifa, a ready tool.
He convinced the favourite actress to leadhim to the Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whom he had assaulted many years ago during the market women leadership tussle between his mother, Alhaja Almaroof and the late Iyaloja General Alhaja Abibat Mogaji. After he atoned for his 'sins,' he joined the train of well- wishers that went to London to felicitate with the former governor when one of his sons graduated from a university in London. Kehinde's lost bid to win the contract to rebuild Oshodi market really threw him off balance and that probably made him to turn the heat on his latest wife, Funke who wanted his attention.
