Why I Refused To Lend Tope Alabi My Car For Her Wedding – Olaiya Igwe

Veteran Yoruba actor Ebun Oloyede aka Olaiya Igwe has finally confessed why he refused to lend his car to gospel singer Tope Alabi and her husband for their wedding.
According to him, his decision was driven by fear, not malice.
He narrated the incident during Tope Alabi’s 55th birthday celebration, recalling how he had just bought a Mercedes-Benz V-Boot, proudly labeled “Ololade Mr Money 1” after the success of his film.
At the time, Tope had informed him of her wedding plans and requested to use the car.
Olaiya initially agreed but later changed his mind.
He explained that his fear came from a recent experience in Ibadan, where the same car was stolen while he was promoting his movie.
Although the vehicle was later recovered, the incident left him anxious and overprotective.
When Tope called the day before the wedding, he avoided her calls and refused to release the car.
Olaiya said he has since asked for forgiveness, but the guilt still haunts him.
]He said: “She informed me about her wedding, and I had just bought a car… But after she left, I had a second thought: what if armed robbers snatched the car from them?
 
“When I returned from Ibadan, Tope Alabi came to my house in Abeokuta and said: ‘Big brother please we want to use your car for our wedding.’ And I said no problem.
 
“A day before the wedding, I stopped picking up Tope’s calls. I didn’t give her the car. I disappointed Tope Alabi.
 
“My anxiety stemmed from my recent theft experience in Ibadan.
 
“It was not out of malice, but fear of losing what I had just acquired and failing someone I considered a younger sister.”
Meanwhile, at her 55th birthday celebration, Tope Alabi received a Lexus SUV from her husband, Soji Alabi, marking another milestone in her journey.

I Still Have Crises – Adekunle Gold Reveals Ongoing Battle With Sickle Cell Disease (Video)

Popular Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold has disclosed that he is still battling sickle cell disease.

He made this known in a video of his latest interview shared on social media.

Sharing his experiences, the 38-year-old musician said, “I still have crises.”

While lamenting the pain caused by the disease, Adekunle Gold disclosed that he has been on lifelong medication since he was five years old.

Advising the public on the importance of genotype testing, he noted: “My vision is to make more noise about it because a lot of people don’t know about it, and the important organisations are not making so much moves regarding it”.

“Where sickle cell is more popular or where people know it most is my country Nigeria. And it happens when an SS matches an SS. And that’s why knowing your genotype is very important because the point is you should not bring many more kids that have sickle cell.

“Unfortunately for me, my parents are sickle cell and they brought me to the world. The first time I ever heard of sickle cell was I would fall sick every time with my joints paining me. So when we talk about crisis, it is pains on your joints, my legs and sometimes stomach. It’s really crazy.

“The first time I noticed that I had it was the night I fell sick and my dad wasn’t home and my mum put me on her back and we walked miles to the hospital. I don’t remember how old I was, maybe like 5 or 7. That was when the doctor told me about it, and they told me that I will be taking folic acid and B complex for the rest of my life. And that’s my life for a very long time even till now.

“I still have crises once in a while but not as bad as I had it when I was a child, you know maybe because I have found a way to take care of myself more properly. And I’m grateful to God for the resources to be able to do that.”
