Love gone sour
Oloyede and Akindele got wedded at a lavish ceremony on May 26, 2012. But just 14 months after, what was a sweet the love story went sour.
When the story of their split first broke, Akindele denied it. But after Almaroof announced it on Facebook, she had little choice but to confirm and announce it via her publicist and sister, Ayo Ola-Muhammed.
She later revealed that she only enjoyed the first two months of the marriage, which was “not as emotionally satisfying” as she had anticipated.

“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,” she said in an interview.
“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 several times; I did not answer his calls, but when he realised 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 he often told me to my face that he was going to his wife in Oshodi.”

Oloyede was not as charitable in his Facebook announcement of the split, referring to Funke as “the greatest mistake” he had made in recent times. He returned to his first wife and and told anyone who cared to listen that he was through with Funke. He wrote: “I’m doing just fine, getting along without you; don’t need you anymore in my life. You [are] the greatest mistake I have made in recent times.”

I hope the editor and the board of thecableng.com will read this. I was really surprised and taken aback with the news above making headline on your website. When i first heard about your website and the figure behind it, i was elated and very happy that your platform will be one on which serious issue and ideas will be discussed and moulded. I am ereally disappointed with the story you have posted above. Its bad that it is posted on your website but it is much worst that it is one of your major headline today. Please let us know if you are turning into a soft sell and gossip website so that we dont waste our time visiting.
@Koko, variety is the spice of life. How can you complain about this? For me there is nothing wrong with that. There are different sides on the site. You can go for the one that favours you.
How can an online newspaper be termed professional if they do not report entertainment stories like this post, I totally don’t see anything wrong for TheCable publishing this story, If you read online news site like New York Times, CNN, BBC, Huffington post and the likes, even down here in Nigeria, all the newspapers have entertainment stories. If you don’t have meaningful comment to make, abeg waka pass jor… By the way, I really enjoyed the Chimamanda story on Oga Jona.
Clearly, Koko is an ignoramus. Once you at done fixing your grammatical ill-health, you can proceed to making some effort to understand how such media as this work. This story was done quite decently… Kudos!
