| Actress, Lola Alao with new hubby, Yakubu Adewale Ajibola |
A fortnight ago when star
actress, Lola Alao, got married in far- flung Atlanta, United States of
America, USA, to Yakubu Adewale Ajibola, the couple, literally, could not
contain their excitement.
Lola was positively
glowing in her creamy wedding dress while Yakubu sporting a bespoke grey suit,
wore a disarming smile.
Though not an opulent wedding, they exchanged marital vows, flaunted the marriage certificate and the pictures that went viral online generated mixed reactions. There are fears too, solemn fears: Lola's new hubby is plagued with an ugly past - a credit card scam that kept him 'inside' in a Kuwaiti cell.
Though not an opulent wedding, they exchanged marital vows, flaunted the marriage certificate and the pictures that went viral online generated mixed reactions. There are fears too, solemn fears: Lola's new hubby is plagued with an ugly past - a credit card scam that kept him 'inside' in a Kuwaiti cell.
According to an insider,
this isn't the first time the 'Nigerian big boy' has been on the wrong side of
the law. His claim to relevance and easy bait for unsuspecting women who
wanted love and affection, has been his American citizenship’s status and his
dashing looks, a reference to what in Yoruba parlance is called Faworaja,
(meaning a person who lives off his looks).
When he was arrested in
Kuwait for the credit card scam, Yakubu, was able to answer the police
questions adroitly, but the authorities were not convinced of his claim that he
was innocent.
A ring of 'scammers' had
some months before his arrival, operated in the same manner and went away with
their loot in the Middle East commercial city.
Unsuspectingly, Yakubu
walked into a booby trap. While Wale YakubuAjibola, the Nigerian-born
American citizen served terms for one year, the Big Sam turned the other
cheek. Lola, who is hell-bent on getting a husband, was not too lucky last year
when her hatched plot to marry another Nigerian based in Europe was thwarted by
her first husband, Dare Ogunlana, who unleashed a media attack on
her.
Meanwhile, Lola found a
close ally in another actress, Bukky Wright, also married to a US-based
Nigerian, Wale Onitilo. Lola and Bukky seem to be best friends in real
life because their chemistry comes through effortlessly. Since her marriage to
US-based lover and car dealer, Dare Ogunlana, broke up, the Kogi-born actress
has met a few men but she has not been quite lucky to have one of them put a
ring on it.
Bukky, we reliably
gathered has been concerned and busy setting Lola up on dates with non-famous
friends and some buddies of her current hubby. She wanted Lola to have her kind
of relationship that will guarantee American citizenship status.
When Yakubu
walked in, it was a willing and desperate Lola he met and, trust her, she
quickly hung on tight.
Sources disclosed that
while he was cooling his feet in the Kuwaiti authorities' cell, Lola scampered
for his release by consulting marabouts widely. They were constantly in touch
on phone and gradually they built the affection.
On release some months
ago, after serving terms in Kuwait for one year, she sent him a ticket to come
home, made few appearances at functions that were private and they
bonded before he returned to the United States to prepare for the August
wedding.
While Lola has taken the
highroad by walking down the aisle with Yakubu, brimming with broad smiles
that she has found love and a good match, observers of Nollywood
marriages and the rate at which it dissolves, feel Lola may have finally found
a big catch to perfect her plans for an American citizenship status. Yakubu,
Our checks revealed that Yakubu has never been married but he has three kids,
including a set of twins from two women among his strings of ladies.
From his profile, though
he claimed to be an ICT expert, he is not quite buoyant financially and his
recent incarceration in Kuwait has not helped. There is no record of an
apartment in his name; the newly married couple are guests in one of the
hubby's relations' house in Atlanta.
Prior to his ill-fated
venture in Kuwait, he is said to have been living off his relations in
California before life threw terrible storms at him and he moved to Houston. In
his bid to survive, he crossed to Atlanta where he allegedly joined the credit
scam racket popularly known as 'Track 1, Track 2'.
For Lola, it has been a
tortuous and lonely journey with her 10-year- old daughter, Omowunmi from her
first marriage with Dare. As she stepped out from the depths of despair to
happily ever after, it is not clear if Dare will not sue her for bigamy as
their marriage consummated in Nigeria has not been officially dissolved. Lola
and Yakubu are expected in Nigeria soon.
