Kayode Salako is married to popular Nigerian actress, Foluke Daramola. In a chat with Saturday Beats, the actress’ husband said he was shocked to realise that some Nigerians especially men are out to destroy his marriage.
He said it baffled him that some men
would go to the extent of texting his wife whenever they saw him with
another lady even though they are fully aware that he is a socialite.
He said, “The truth is that all these
people that want our marriage to crash are not strong enough because I
married my best friend. Our marriage is stronger than whatever plans
they have for us. What baffles me more is that it is men that are
praying for us to have a crisis. If it were to be women, I would
understand because women are known to like to gossip but it is the men
that are responsible for this. It makes me ask what they are up to; what
is their interest? I was having a business meeting with a lady and I
noticed another guy was also at the same venue with a lady as well.
The
guy actually picked up his phone to text my wife that I was with a lady
at a restaurant. I am 45 years old, if anyone thinks that my life
revolves around my wife alone, then they should have a re-think. No man
in life can prosper without associating with women and that is why God
created Adam and Eve. I cannot stop socializing with women because I am
married to Foluke Daramola but that does not mean that I want to send
her out of my house or I want to marry more wives. As human beings, you
have to interact with both men and women. Has anyone ever seen a church
or mosque that is solely built for men? It simply means that we all need
ourselves. People should mind their business and stop trying to destroy
my marriage.
“Some people would text my wife telling
her that they saw me with another woman, I want these people to know
that I am in a marriage and not in bondage. I cannot say that because I
am married to a celebrity, I would be in bondage. I married my wife
because I love her and nothing more. My wife did not marry me as a
brother from church, she met me as a socialite and I would continue to
be one. I cannot say that because I am married to Foluke Daramola I
would not socialise with people; both men and women.”
Salako said people should be aware that
the actress has dedicated the best part of her life to make them smile.
He then warned them to mind their business and leave his home alone in
peace.
“It baffles me that some people are
after the downfall of their fellow human beings. Some people are eagerly
waiting for something bad to happen to my marriage with Foluke. He said
people should keep encouraging her to make her marriage stronger
instead of sending her suspicious text messages asking if our marriage
is still intact,” Salako said.
The socialite was quick to add that he
was not speaking out in defence of whatever allegations people have
against him, but that he just wants to be left alone in peace with his
wife.
Salako added that the last thing he would ever do is to put his marital problems on social media.
“Some people might think that I am
speaking up because I am trying to defend myself of whatever allegations
they have because I could have decided to keep quiet but the truth is
that I don’t have any problem with my wife. I love her very much and she
is the only woman for me. If I have any problems at home, I would never
bring it on social media. It is only illiterates that do that; in fact
even illiterates don’t do that. Anything I post on social media ranging
from topics on marriage to politics is because I want to enlighten
people. If there is any issue at all between us, it would never be on
social media,” he said.
