In his post, Abdulrasheed Bello wrote, “Dear friends and family I need to let you know that Funke and I have separated. While it lasted we shared a lot of things together and have created 2 beautiful children.
“The last two years have been extremely difficult for us. I know I have tried my best to fix things but I believe it is beyond repair now. 3 months ago and at Funke’s insistence I moved out of the house and apart from AMVCA have not been able to get Funke to sit down in an amicable manner to discuss the future of our relationship.

“I’m making this announcement so that the public is clear that we both are pursuing separate lives. We still have issues that need to be addressed such as the custody and wellbeing of our children which is paramount as well as business interests which need to be disentangled but I have no doubt that these will be resolved one way or the other.”
Funke Akindele and Abdulrasheed Bello got married in 2016; have twins from the marriage. It is Funke Akindele’s second marriage as her first marriage with Kehinde Adeola Oloyede, which was consummated in May 26, 2012, packed up in 2013, just over a year due to irreconcilable differences.
Why the marriage crashed
The marriage involving two celebrities according to a report by Vanguard, may have crashed because of a number of reasons including not keeping the relationship away from the public
Managing Funke’s step-son – Benito
The secret of most successful marriages is ensuring all marital issues are kept as private as possible. The same could not be said for Funke’s marriage with his celebrity spouse, JJC.
Even though it was obvious that the couple’s marriage was enmeshed in troubles, they were making frantic efforts to manage the crisis in-house, but sadly, Funke’s step son, Benito was always on ground to sabotage his stepmom, don’t forget, three, they say is always a crowd.
While Funke and JJC Skillz were reported to be apart for about two years, Benito was quick to inform the public that Funke was cheating on JJC Skillz, adding that his dad was also cheating on Funke.
In fact, he even described the actress as a terrible person, saying that all has not been well in the couple’s marriage.
Despite Funke and her husband JJC Skillz trying to mend fences and give the public the impression that all was well in their marriage, her stepson Benito was always coming out to truncate their efforts by revealing more stunning and brazen dirty details of the celebrity couples.
The young dude did everything to prove to the public that Funke is not as accomplished and ‘big’ as opposed to how she appears on social media.
Joint business issues between lovers
While many had celebrated how Funke and JJC joined their talents to establish and run different businesses in the entertainment industry, the duo as speculated in the media had lots of rough times in managing proceeds from the business, as well as clashed on who controls what in their various investments.
From movies to music, they both brought out their talent and resources to grow new areas of investment but it seems there are no specific guides to protect the interest of both sides. Recall Funke apart from being a movie producer also launched a music label with the support of her husband, on his side, JJC delved into his wife’s area of business, one of such is, a TV drama titled, ‘INDUSTREET’
From the above, it is obvious that doing business with one’s spouse might sound interesting but when one goes into it without clear guidelines and rules it can soon turn into a sour affair.
Alleged infidelity
Another possible reason, which could have led to Funke’s marriage breakup is the big issue – alleged infidelity.
Funke’s stepson, Benito, had on several occasions dragged his controversial step mum on social media.
Specifically, in an Instagram Live video shared via his page on Friday, May 20, 2022, Benito revealed several shocking allegations of cheating on the part of the actress and his father, JJC Skillz. The son had hinted the public of his parents impending dying marriage.
Details shared by the couple’s son suggested that JJC Skillz and Funke were both cheating; they were both mutually complicit in infidelity, which led to a big fight.
But JJC Skillz dismissed reports of crisis-prone marriage as he extolled his wife, Funke.

I’m not ashamed doing menial jobs in US but — Doris Simeon
I’m not ashamed doing menial jobs in US but — Doris Simeon
Nollywood actress, Doris Simeon, has said that she was not ashamed doing menial jobs in the United States of America, because she needed to pay her bills.
Speaking in an interview with her colleague, Kunle Afod, Simeon said, “This (US) is where my child is with his father, and that is one of the reasons I decided to stay back here. I have been here since 2018, and I really miss home (Nigeria). What I miss most about Nigeria are those street foods, such as roasted yam and corn. I also miss my friends and family.
“It was not easy starting all over, because in this place, only the tough will last. If one is lazy, one will be hungry. People who have been here for 20 to 50 years don’t find it easy, because with the kind of system they have, one cannot avoid paying bills. If one does not work, one won’t eat, and one won’t be able to pay bills.”

Simeon also stated that she still got a lot of admirers. She said, “A lot of men still send me messages on social media to ask about my relationship status. Those who know me know I don’t like to make a noise about my private life. The fact that I don’t post online does not mean I don’t have a man in my life. I have a man in my life, but I don’t reject gifts.”
Recounting some of the menial jobs she had done in the US, she said, “I have lost count of the number of jobs I have done here. I once worked as a delivery person, and even met people who recognised me, but what could I do? After all, they won’t pay my bills. I worked as a personal shopper as well, and hairdressing is something I still. Currently, I work for the government as a social worker.”
