“Yomi Fabiyi Loved Me, Not My Green Card” Says Oyinbo Wife Of Nollywood Actor


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.
