When news of actress Funke Akindele’s private wedding to businessman and politician Kehinde Almaroof Oloyede filtered to the media, everyone was taken aback.
It was an Islamic ceremony and Akindele became known as “Khadijat”. A church wedding was to follow. But by then, an unsavoury dimension to the story was the report that Oloyede was already married with children, and his first wife, Fadekemi, was averse to his new union. Some said he was officially divorced from his first wife, while others said he was still married and living with her but under acrimonious circumstances.
Love so sweet
There were also tales of Oloyede fathering children from other women besides the four mothered by Fadekemi. But Jenifa’s mind was made up, as she believed she had found true love.

“I am no longer a kid and I know what it means to be in love,” she said at the time.
“I am in love and I am not ashamed to say so. This is not a feeling you contrive; it comes naturally. My dear, this is true love. And I have found it. Just be happy for me, I have found true love.”
Clearly, Alhaji Oloyede, also known as Kenny Doo, had won over Akindele heart.

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!
