I REGRET MARRYING AYO ADESANYA (EX HUSBAND LAMENTED)

Omogoriola Hassan, former husband of popular Nollywood actress, Ayo Adesanya, who is a movie producer and an actor, talked about his relationship with Ayo and the lessons he learnt from it, in an interview with Encomium magazine.
Speaking of his experience, he said marrying Ayo was like boarding a ‘one-chance’ vehicle and how he was blinded by love. Here is what he told the magazine:

“The biggest lesson I learnt was not to trust anyone. The person you trust may eventually disappoint. Then I was the greatest fool but today I am the wisest and happiest. Marrying Ayo then was like boarding a ‘one-chance’ vehicle. It was like I could never come across a woman I can love like that not knowing I was just being foolish. If not that she had a baby for me, I would have revealed a lot about her. Will just keep them to myself in the interest of our son. But I was agitated when I read that she wants to remove the tattoo on her hand bearing our logo – No Fear. She is free to do but what about the one on her ass where my name was written bold, Omogoriola Hassan? How is she going to remove that? That is stupid of her. If at all you don’t like someone again, that doesn’t mean you need to go to that extent. But believe me she’s still thinking about me because if she’s not she wouldn’t be thinking about removing my tattoos on her body.

It was a deliberate decision because I needed to take some time out to focus on my retail clothing line, ‘Eclectic by Sasha’.
My dream is very big; I want to be in every state in Nigeria. The fashion in Nigeria was getting bigger and what I wanted to do had not been done. I had to just focus on my fashion business.
Even during that time, I made sure I released one or two singles and collaborated with other artistes.
We are still recording but I am not going to announce any dates. All I would say is that we are very excited about the new sound we are working on.
