IT is not longer news that popular Yoruba actress Folashade Omoniyi otherwise known as Lepa Shandy has called her marriage with Kassim her husband of close to a decade, quit. What is news is that the trendy actress and star of ‘Breaking Point’, ‘Feyi Pitan’, ‘Enitan’, ‘Oyato’, ‘Owo Ajanu’, ‘Iyawo Elenu Razor’, ‘Back To Africa’, ‘Omi Ewuro’, ‘Yeye Oge’, and ‘Il anu Oluwa’ has found what she described as ‘real love again.’ The fair complexioned and notable actress who has starred in countless movie productions revealed from her current holidaying base in Dublin, Ireland that not only has she found love again, she has also finally closed the chapter on her former marriage.
Where have you been since you declared that your marriage was over?
I have been in Europe. And presently I am in Dublin (Ireland). I have been trying to sort my life out. I actually came here to rest. I have been working in the last couple of months and I think it is time to rest. I mean after all, they say all work and no rest...I will leave you to complete it.
So your trip abroad has nothing to do with your failed marriage?
No, it has absolutely nothing to do with it and also it has nothing to do with my trying to run away from pressure that would be mounted by my parents on me to return to my former husband; no, nothing like that. My parents never even supported my past marriage and they never pressured me to go back. Yes, my mum tried before she died; she did everything she could but when it got to a stage that things were not really coming out the way she expected, she gave up and allowed me to take my own decision. I am the one that was wearing the shoe so I know where it pinched. So, my marriage is over. I tried to make it work, but my husband frustrated all my efforts. Even when he stopped communicating, I still continued and twice I went to London to see how we could make things work but they just didn’t work. So, now I’m single again, but I’m not searching, I need time to sort myself out and have my peace again.
So you are not going back even if he wants you back?
No way. I don’t say good night and say good morning at the same time. Once I say good night, I don’t say good morning again. I don’t think it will happen and if he does, I don’t think I would want to go back. I have had it up to my head.
But was it your job that was the problem?
No, it had nothing to do with my job. I met him before I joined the industry, so it couldn’t have been because of my work because he understands how we work in the industry. It is due to irreconcilable differences. I don’t want to discuss the reason for my crashed marriage on the pages of a newspaper. We had issues that we couldn’t sort out. That is just it. My marriage crashed so many years back, but I was trying to manage it. It was when I couldn’t manage it again that I decided to make it open late last year. I have been living with it for many years and I didn’t run. Is it now that I will run? My coming here is a personal decision I took to come and rest
So have you found love?
Yes I am in a relationship but I want to keep it out of the papers. I have found love. I mean somebody asked me recently if I would ever love again and I said why won’t I love again? Would you say that because your car had an accident on the road, you wouldn’t drive again? Because one’s marriage crashed doesn’t mean another one won’t work out. Of course I will love again and I have indeed found love. Read more http://www.nigeriafilms.com/news/13245/5/i-have-found-real-love-after-my-crashed-marriagest.html
