To have married a Briton must have meant just one thing to Nollywood actor/producer, Yomi Fabiyi—love.
He married
Fran almost four years ago.
From
pictures constantly posted, the couple looked in love(or so it seems)
Then in 2014m the
rumour mills went agog that the actor married Fran because he wanted a British
passport.
The actor quashed the rumour saying he was still
married but his wife relocated to Britain.
He told
Encomium magazine:
“People are just speculating because
they don’t see her around me since we married. We had an agreement that
we will be living in Nigeria but after a while, she couldn’t cope again due to
the way area boys used to harass us and collect money. She said we had to
go back to UK but I told her I can’t leave my job. Nigeria is the best
place for me because of my career. That was just the issue between us,
and that has been resolved.”
Fast-forward
to November 2016 and the actor threw a bombshell through his social media
account.
He
shared: “"It's so
sad that a lot of people never give me the benefit of the doubt. Only a handful
think it is right to respect my freedom of choice. I have been unlucky in life,
most of what I do normally have opposite impression irrespective of my positive
mindset. I cannot help it and will rather prefer to continue to be real as
possible, I am used to being misinterpreted my entire adult life.
“I never aim to hurt anybody in words
or actions before them or behind them. I am never raised that way. They forget
that some people no matter how horrible the situation, still has some dignity
left in them.
“I have also been raised to know that
no matter how small the interactions I have with anybody, I should not let my
manners slip. It cost nothing but could win a whole lot of goodwill. Moreso, I
have been vigorously warned by my parents never to prove to know if what am
ready to give out is a guess.
“Hopefully Fran accepts my proposition
to end this marriage now as I cannot continue this way, AM NOT HAPPY anymore as
we edge close to the 4th year anniversary.
“Fran is such a beautiful woman,
supportive and wish I come live in England, take up employmemt and study.
“I HAVE USED HER DOCUMENTS TO RENEW MY
NORMAL VISA ONLY, so no question she is not willing, I NEVER said that.
“With all humility, if she never
promised me she is coming to take up employment in Nigeria and live with me,
maybe we may not have secured the dating. I have made it abundantly clear I am
not prepared to live abroad as my career was just gathering shape then.
“The outlook of my choice may look
familiar to those marriages but I never thought people will think of me that
way. I have to live with that but sometimes it can be so bruising.
“I am focused on my career and keeping
my fans and admirers entertained. I have an absolute right to do whatever makes
me happy provided it is nothing criminal, illegal, immoral or anti-social. I am
NOT interested with the reason two adult came together.
“It's crude and an uncivilized thing to
do for me. I HOPE I FIND TRUE LOVE AGAIN WHILE I PUSH FOR A HIT-FREE DIVORCE AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE. I will be fine guys. Thank you - Yomi Fabiyi.” (sic)
However,
when Saturday Beats placed a call across to Fran in England recently, she
sounded unhappy about the divorce but seemed to have resigned to fate.
“I am still
in love with my husband but we cannot keep living this way. I wish there was
another way we could go about it but there is none. It is true that I agreed to
relocate to Nigeria after marriage but plans changed and I cannot relocate from
England. I understand that my husband cannot also move to England but we cannot
keep living like this for the rest of our lives.
“I am very sure that he married me
because he loved me and not for any green card. If he wanted a green card, he
could have married a British-Nigerian or any other race,” she said.
