Fani-Kayode celebrates return of ex-wife, Precious, after two years of acrimony

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has resolved the rift between him and his ex-beauty queen wife Precious Chikwendu, after two years of running marital crisis, culminating in a legal battle.

Fani-Kayode could not contain his joy when Precious showed up with their kids as he showered her with praises.

The crisis broke out in 2020 and Precious was docked by an Abuja Federal High Court following charges of attempted culpable homicide, before Justice Inyang Ekwo.

But all that acrimony seems to be over as Fani-Kayode has issued a statement, describing their reunion as a truly surreal and historical moment.

He said, “For the first time in two years, totally unexpectedly and out of the blue, and after she took our sons Aragorn, Ragnar, Aiden, and Liam out for yet another beautiful outing, Mama Aragorn came to the house to visit with us.
“For two years she and I had not seen or spoken to one another but on Saturday afternoon we spent no less than four hours together in which we talked, laughed, and shared some beautiful moments.
“It was touching to see members of my household and staff receive her and, led by our first son Aragorn who held her tightly by the hand, usher her through the gates and into the compound as I watched in utter disbelief and surprise from the balcony.”
He said, “Moments earlier I had seen them walking down from the top of the road through the CCTV cameras and from the same balcony.
“It was a small crowd, led by Aragorn and his mother. They walked slowly with radiant smiles and laughter whilst a convoy of cars followed them from behind.
“It was the dramatic return of a great and beautiful queen who was simply resplendent and who shone as brightly as the morning star.
“There are some moments that words cannot capture or express and this was one of them. After two long years of contentious silence and acrimonious separation, she graced us with her presence and came home,” he said.
The All Progressives Congress chieftain further said, “It was joy all around to see the return of this great lioness. Every single one of the 60 people that live and work in our home was happy to see her and some even shed a few secret tears of joy.
“Mama Aragorn displayed such courage, grace, dignity, and class. This was a moment that I shall cherish for many years. This was a triumph for all lovers of peace and sons and daughters of righteousness.
“This was the day that the power of God was made manifest, that joy came to Zuma close, and that the Lion of Aso Drive roared in glory, victory, power, and strength.
“This was a moment that proved beyond all reasonable doubt that patience, restraint, understanding and peace bring nothing but joy and blessings.
“This was a moment when light overcame darkness and when the secret prayers of four handsome little Princes were answered.
“This was a moment when love, mutual respect, truth, and mutual forgiveness triumphed and Satan was put to shame.”
He said, “Thanks for coming, Mama Aragorn. We love and appreciate you. Always did, always will. And though we have gone our separate ways the bond and cord that exists between us through our four beautiful boys can never be broken.
“I also offer my thanks to my loyal and faithful wife and a true Daughter of Zion, Mama Remi, and to Mama Folake, Mama Arwen, my beautiful daughters Folake and Remi, my son Nicholas and my entire family and household for their collective and unconditional love, understanding, resilience, loyalty, support, and patience.
“You stood firm, strong, and bold and you kept encouraging me even through the raging storm and darkest moments. Love conquered all and saw us through and so it shall continue to be.
“From generation to generation our circle of love, our fellowship, our family, our children, and our loved ones shall rise and go from strength to strength.
“In every situation and circumstance, we shall prevail and the God that we serve shall never forsake us. So it is and so it shall be. God bless you all.”

Funke Akindele,Toyin Abraham in another battle of wits

It is no news that in the last five years, film producers cum actresses, Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham have been engaged in an unspoken rivalry.

In fact, industry players claimed that their rivalry has resulted in both actresses not featuring in the same film until Bolanle Austen Peters decided to have both actresses on the set of Netflix original, ‘House of Gaa.’

The two actresses have become cinema queens after embracing and producing some of Nigeria’s highest grossings films in cinema in the last five years.

Though Akindele seems to have won the battle on the streets of cinema with at least three of her flicks grossing the highest numbers, Abraham has also given her a run for her money every year.

Hence, 2024 won’t be different as both popular producers have their films in the cinema again this December.

With all the right marketing put in place to ensure both films enjoy great time at the box office, the film stars are still not leaving any stone unturned in ensuring they surpass each other in 2024.

Interestingly, the two actresses have shared two common factors that only industry watchers have noticed for the 2024 productions. Both producers have FilmOne distributing their works, which incidentally, are fresh installments of their old franchises – Akindele returns with ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ while Abraham is in the cinema with ‘Alakada: Bad and Boujee.’

On Wednesday, December 18, film lovers claimed that both actresses were spotted at the Ikeja City Mall, for meet and greet with fans individually.

It is unsure if the rivalry will see an end as both producers have pitched their tents with a December release in the cinema.

Keen watchers also believe the rivalry might grow further with the entrant of Mercy Aigbe, who seems to have jumped on the wagon after the releases of her films, ‘Ada Omo Daddy’ and ‘Thin Line,’ in December 2023 and 2024 respectively.

Accept broke men or put up with busy ones – Kanayo O. Kanayo tells ladies

Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared his thoughts on relationships and what women may need to consider when choosing a partner.

In a recent post on his Instagram page, he advised ladies to think carefully about their priorities and what they are willing to accept in a relationship.

Kanayo O. Kanayo suggested that women who are not willing to be with someone who is financially struggling may need to be prepared to date someone who is very busy and has limited time to devote to a relationship.

He presented this as a trade-off, implying that women may need to make a choice between these two options.

On his Instagram page, Kanayo wrote:

The gentleman’s code: If you don’t want a man who is broke, you are going to have to put up with a busy one.”

In another news, Kanayo defends Davido amid backlash over economic comment.

In a recent interview, Davido advised African Americans against relocating to Africa, citing Nigeria’s dire economic conditions as a case study.

The statement has since ignited widespread criticism, with many calling for the musician to apologize.

However, Kanayo, currently in the UK, addressed the controversy in a video shared on Instagram, urging Nigerians to respect Davido’s right to free speech.

The veteran actor highlighted that Davido, despite his privileged background, made the comments out of concern for the average Nigerian.

Dismissing the demands for an apology, Kanayo said:

“Nigerians make una leave Davido alone about the comment he made; it’s freedom of speech and he made it in good faith. It is left for those in power to work harder to give us a better Nigeria. We need to build a better Nigeria,” he said partly.

“Some people say he should apologize; apologize for what? He’s a Nigerian and he made his statement in good faith. Those who criticize us wants the best out of us. Davido and his family can feed well but he speaks for other Nigerians who cannot,” he added.
