Why I blocked my colleagues after marriage – Actress Opeyemi Aiyeola

Actress Opeyemi Aiyeola has revealed that she blocked colleagues and distanced herself after marriage to avoid divorce. 

In an interview on Oyinmomo TV, she shared how she took a 10-year break from career to focus solely on her marriage.

According to her, she met her husband, Olayiwola Abdulwakilu, at the peak of her career and decided to leave the spotlight to start a family with him in London.

She revealed that the fear of divorce and unstable relationships often associated with industry practitioners led her to block her colleagues’ numbers during her time away.

According to Aiyeola, she wanted to protect her marriage and family life.

After a decade away, the mother of two decided to refocus on her career, feeling she had given enough to her family.

She said: “When my name rose, he came to me. I didn’t how he did it. He carried me abroad and I was a lover girl, too. That’s how I found myself in London. It seems like he added honey. Epe people are good with skills, and you will fall for their tricks.

“I was off the scene for over ten years and apologise to my fans. I held my marriage in high esteem, so I blocked everybody’s number in the industry. Let’s appreciate our fans; they’re the cause. Some say practitioners don’t have homes or stable lives, but don’t know what happens behind those relationships. I didn’t want my case to be like that, so I blocked everyone from the industry for ten years.

“I sincerely didn’t understand how I ended up blocking everybody, and I use my hands to unblock everybody.

“When I finally got myself back, I asked myself, “What happened? Who did I offend? “So I pleaded with myself, “Let me focus on my career. “I have two boys, and they know that I love them. I’ve given them everything—every style, every bit of love, every sacrifice. I have given them enough; they should allow me to carve my own career”.
