I Stayed In My Abusive Marriage Because Of What People Will Say – Foluke Daramola

Foluke Daramola-Salak, the Nollywood actress, has spoken up on why she endured her abusive marriage.

According to the mother of two, she remained in her first marriage for four years despite being constantly abused by her ex-husband because she was scared of criticism.

The thespian revealed this in a recent interview with TVC.

She said she was abused on the night of her wedding.

She said, “My first marriage, on the night of my wedding was when I noticed abuse. But because of what people will say… And God has already orchestrated it because my wonderful kids are from the marriage.

“When I finally decided to step out [of the marriage], people did not understand why I stepped out. But I understood that I needed to go. A lot of people did not receive it well, but if I hadn’t stepped out, if I had died there, by now I would have been a forgotten case.

“So, it is better for people not to accept my reality or my truth but I accept my own truth than for me to lose my life in the process of trying to prove to the world what I’m going through.”

“There were situations when I was recording this album I was like ‘mehn! I’m going to go like this, I’m going to go like this?’

“So, when I slept and I woke up, my phone was not with me, so I was going crazy. I sent everybody away an hour before the album came out, I did my prayers, I laid down on my bed and slept. I now over slept.

“I wanted to just sleep for like one hour thirty minutes so that we will celebrate. I now over slept. Woke up by 3am. I said ‘Ye!’. I was looking for my phone because I have a big suite. I went to the living room, but there wasn’t anybody in my room celebrating. I was scared like ‘wettin dey happen na?’.

“So, I ran downstairs and I banged my assistant’s door ‘what’s going on, what’s going on?’. He said ‘Oga, take your phone, congratulations’.”

I Made My First Million At 17, Gave Everything To My Mother – Rema

Rema

Afrobeats Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has disclosed that he made his first million at 17 and handed it to his mother.

He said he had to make that decision because his mother needed the money more than him.

The Dumebi crooner disclosed this in a recent interview with Z100 New York.

He said he gave all the money to his mother.

Rema said, “The person who I knew needed it more was my mum. So, I handed everything I made to her. I know it was cool to drive around the city as a 17-year-old in a cool whip. But I can’t drive a cool whip when my mum didn’t have a car or my mum has to borrow my keys. You know, I had to put her on first.

“Passing all of that to her, whatever investment she makes… I made my first million [naira] at 17 but I made more than a million. But it’s cool to be in that stage to be able to provide [for your family].”

The 24-year-old singer said his biggest achievement is being able to provide for his family and create opportunities for others.

He said, “Someone created an opportunity for me to bless the world this much. So, I can’t imagine how much the people I helped are going to bless the world. You know, I go hard not just for myself. I go hard for them. As doors open for me, I wanna open doors for them.”

He added that his proudest moment was when fans sang his song ‘Calm Down’ word-for-word during his performance in Australia last year.
