They were so in love with each other!

In fact, nobody envisaged that there would be a separation, not to talk of a divorce between Nollywood’s actress, Dakore Egbuson-Akande, and her husband.

But like some celebrity marriages, Dakore and Olumide Akande are no more. Just like a pack of badly stacked cards, the nine-year-old wedding crumbled and the centre cannot hold.

Signs that the wedlock was troubled surfaced online when the actress posted a photo where she wore bikini! Prior to that, she was sighted at the One African Music Fest in Dubai with her brother, Timini.

“The marriage had problems a few years back but the couple tried to make things work out. Many factors were responsible but Dakore became tired of not having enough money to throw around. Her husband, Olumide, who is one of a son of billionaire businessman, Harry Akande, is broke—the money isn’t flowing like when they met, courted and married. Olu lives off his dad and the economy isn’t as buoyant. Even Harry Akande is allegedly not as rich as he was,” reliable sources told Kemi Ashefon.

Many would recollect that Dakore was romantically involved with Olumide, for many years before they were pronounced man and wife at the Guiding Light Assembly, Ikoyi in 2011. A lavish reception that had in attendance elite of the society was staged at the prestigious KFA Event Place in Lekki. Dakore’s father-in-law, businessman cum politician Chief Harry Akande brought to bear his social and financial clout.

“Olumide sacrificed everything for Dakore. Initially, when he made his intention known to family that he wanted to marry the actress, hell was loose! No member of his family stood by him. To them, Olu could have gotten a good girl instead of an actress, who is tagged wayward and a gold-digger. He ignored all pleadings and advice. The handsome dude went for Dakore and they were married in 2011. They have two girls as products of the union,” source revealed.

Moreover, the quest for a third child must have allegedly put pressure on the actress who quit the movies long before she married Akande and after their two kids, they relocated to the United States of America. Well, Dakore’s mother-in-law wasn’t pleased with their lifestyle and wanted them in Nigeria where the couple can work towards giving her a grandson!

Meanwhile, Dakore had maintained that she was done with child-bearing. As a matter of fact, it was due to the imbroglio in their marriage that pushed her into acting again.

Not a few fans would be worried at this development because Dakore did all she could to keep her marriage intact—at least on social media. Not known to celebrate her wedding anniversaries on social media unlike some actresses, she revealed that she wanted a ‘private marriage and not one to be displayed on social media.’

In an interview two years ago, Dakore disclosed that, “My mother always say, ‘cover your yam and how you’re eating it.’ Like on his birthday, I just do maybe some posts on Instagram but we like to celebrate anniversaries in-house with the kids. We’ve been together for 11 years but married for seven years.”

Already, Dakore has moved out of her marriage and she is allegedly dating a Nigerian guy who is into entertainment and organizes big shows in Africa and other continents. Who knows the couple can still come back again.

Say what! I can't believe they are no more together. Truly, love doesn't sustain a union cos I can bet my life that in the beginning, they were so in love.

Dakore is pretty, charming, charismatic, and I'm not surprised that Olumide fell helplessly in love with her. Any man would. I used to think that he loved her more than she did, judging by the way he used to stare at her while in public together. It was like, he couldn't get enough of her.

Unfortunately, things had to go south, and I wish both of them the very best that life can offer. I'm just so sad to know that they have parted ways.

Leave men and women in the entertainment industry they wouldn't listen. Those people are made to live the fast life, they can't settle down.

OmG. I loved those two. I when they were dating, there was a rumor that the guy's mother didn't like her. He went ahead to marry her and now that they have parted ways, the woman seems to have played a role in that.

Water is wet.

I used to have a crush on this lady those days sha with that her dada hair.

The moment she got married, the crush fizzled out.

No no no no no!!!!!!!!

I don’t want this for dakore

And so fuckkkking what?
who cares

she just wasted her talent and fame on someone else money

such a wonderful actress

..

RUMOURS are spread by fools and accepted by idiots.

End of DISCUSSION!

Interesting, even though I don't think this is true, I believe the choice of whom to marry is a critical decision. For Christians among us, I pray God helps us in making the right decision.

All Nigerian actresses and I repeat *ALL* actresses are olosho just looking for men to cash out on. They could even marry u for d money without an atom of love and waiting for u to get broke so they can leave u. I wonder why dis elites will still be so attached to actresses. Abi na jaruma dey do am. Sips my action bitters.

Celebrities' marriages are like weekends, they don't last.

Marriage is about understanding, communication and consideration. Don't let your career or work get in the way of your relationship with your spouse.

My piece of advice: both couples must decide that no matter what, they will still have a beautiful marriage. Always talk about your misunderstandings.

Never assume anything negative. Always find out the reason why he/she did what they did. I hate to hear another celeb divorce story.

Chai Nigeria celebrity marriage?

Who curse una

Too early
Women n money sha

Olumide is not at loss, he can still marry a hotter, younger chick if he so wishes....as for Dakore, it was expected long time ago, in fact she tried lol










Meanwhile, Goodluck empowered and enriched so many Yorubas but because of their sworn hatred for Igbos and Igbo progress, they allowed Tinubu to mislead them just because Goodluck refused to make Wale Tinubu Petroleum Minister to enable Tinubu allocate free oil blocks to himself and family like he is allocating lands to himself in Lagos.


Now look at how the former Yoruba billionaires are crumbling like packs of a joker card, from Olumide's billionaire father to GLO Adenuga to Kola Aluko and so many others I cannot list here.


What goes around comes around, you say you will continue to fight and betray your closest brothers from the east in order to serve your known enemy from the north, e concern me, 2023 will teach una more lesson about Nigeria

Monitoring spirit

Nooooooooooooo .

It had better be a rumour.....I luv that couple
