Nollywood actress, Dakore Egbuson shares a story how she met and fell in love with her
husband Olumide and many more.

The actress while speaking with Punch said she met the husband in Lagos.

Excerpts..

“We met in Lagos. I just relocated from London and he just returned from Chicago. We got talking because he wanted me to present a television show. I did not get the job but I did get the dude. It was work-related but we found out we connected. We were friends for a while before we started dating.Then, I was not out for a date.I liked him for his confidence and he gave me my space too. He was a real gentleman and well-spoken. When it was time for the engagement, I knew it would
happen, but I did not know when. I knew what it was like to make a mistake because my parents were not together and I needed to be sure. I was career driven but not driven about marriage.

On the proposal

“The proposal was really nice.He
got down on his knees and proposed and people were emotional. Shortly after that, we got married. We had Ayomide, our first daughter, who is now three, and Dasola, who is 10
months old now.”

On the rumours

They peddled all sorts of stories-His parents did not like me and that I quit acting. But it’s not possible that I would be married if my father-in-law did not like me. I was not even 40 years old yet and people started calling me an ex-actress. It was hard
for me! But I decided to live my life and I stopped paying attention to maintain my sanity. How could anyone think I would quit my job because I got married? They said this because I married into a wealthy family, but I still have my purpose and goals that I want to achieve.”

On Challenges

“Celebrity marriages are not
different. The only reason is that
people are looking at you. The
challenges are the same but are
amplified in celebrity marriages.
That puts a lot of pressure on the
union. The first thing is to marry
your friend. You have to marry for the right reason. I married for love;someone I am totally in awe of and respect. It is difficult, but when you have God, there is a balance that comes with it. It is fun and challenging. It is easy to get frustrated but people need to remember their vows.”

On cutting her dreadlocks

“I made up my mind that I wanted to wear dreadlocks, and when I was tired of it, I decided to cut it. My husband did not want me to cut my hair; he wanted our children to meet me with the hair. I dance to the beat of my own drum and my path is different from every other person’s. I have my own mind; if I let people shape my opinions of myself, I will not be authentic to myself.”

Seriously, dude are you just a hater or u are seeking 5mins attention. Either way, please get a life, grow up and go chant your hate elsewhere. People like you makes me wonder where some people actually grew up.

truth hurts

not hating , but she can lie sha. when a lady marries into an elite family, if she like , she can come from japan. the koko is, she has 2 conform to their high class dress code, stylish hair and etc. either her husband or FIL or MIL, gave her a subtle lecture about their image and looking prim and proper. Carrying dreads? doesn't conform to the in-laws bureaucracy .. continue with actress stuff? is also a no no....there are certain rules to follow and abide to, for peace and love to reign in that kind of family unit.....simple put.

What Ur grievance?

Plz wht makes her a cheap girl,weather she's lying or nt is none of anybody buz, plz u guys should stop hating

That is why some people do not last in marriage. Marriage is about sacrifice. If she is OK with cutting her hair and not acting again, that is her choice if that brings her closer to her husband. I don't think we have heard her husband cheating on her. Girl I am happy for you. Many wish they were in your position.
