The Actors Guild of Nigeria has expressed concern over the
controversy surrounding the break in the marriage between popular Nollywood
actress, Funke Akindele, and her husband, Mr. Almaroof Oloyede, describing the
development as “unfortunate.”
The Chairman of AGN, FCT, Abuja chapter, Mr. Onwurah
Agility, in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH said some marriages were not meant
to be.
He said, “Because I am an actor does not mean I have to die
in my marriage if it is not working out. We are humans like others, blood runs
in our veins like other people.
“Marriage in Nollywood is not different from other
marriages. But because we are the mirror of the society, the face of the screen
and role models to many, if there is a problem in our marriage, it makes noise
more than any other. There are many people in the industry that have been
married for many years without separating.
“What happened to Funke (Akindele) is unfortunate but like
she said, may be they were not to be husband and wife and she has learnt her
lessons. It could have been anybody.
“The theory and stories that actors’ marriages don’t last
are very wrong. I have been married for five years and still counting, likewise
so many other actors in the industry.”
Akindele, had while confirming the crash of her marriage,
said she had learnt from her mistakes and had no grudge against her former
husband.
