Nollywood actress Bose Alao has opened up about her marital life and relationship with colleague Iyabo Ojo.
In an interview with her colleague, Biola Bayo, Bose recounted how she became her husband’s side chick. According to her, she and her husband were separated for three years, and she became his side chick.
She recalled an incident when she called her husband, and a woman picked up the phone and called her an old taker. Alao said the word broke her as she noted how she sacrificed her career for her marriage.
The Yoruba actress said that when a friend asked if she was done with her, she said she wasn’t done and would give it her all.
Bose stated that no one truly knows who they are until they get married. She explained that marriage can bring out something else in you.
“You don’t even truly know who you are until you get into marriage. Maybe you’re thinking I am a very calm person, but marriage can bring out something else in you.
I will send my nude pictures, he has people who collect such, send my pictures to them, then they will give me a designer bag. I will take it to the person, and my money that night will be N700,000.
My husband and I separated for three good years. I became his side chick to my husband. When someone asked me if I wasn’t done with my marriage, I said no.
When a woman is done, she is done. I arrested my husband; it wasn’t even me. There was a lady on the street that he was actually dating.
There was a time I called, and the lady even called me an old taker. Something which I sacrificed for my marriage”.
Bose also spoke on her relationship with Iyabo Ojo, as she credited her for changing her life. The Yoruba actress said Iyabo saw her when she was hosting a traditional wedding and booked her for her daughter’s wedding without knowing that Priscilla would get married swiftly.
“There are some things that I went through that I don’t wish for my enemies.
Aunty Iyabo saw me on a job. She said she didn’t know I was good. She told me I would anchor the program once Priscilla was set to get married. There was no Juma then.
That job changed a lot of things in my home”.
Recall that in 2018, Bose Alao announced that she had ended her marriage to footballer Rasaq Omotoyosi, citing unending domestic violence. In a leaked voice note, the actress said she had only been pretending throughout the years, as her husband was a wife-beater.
In a surprising U-turn, Bose had apologised to her husband for exposing him. Though acknowledging there was indeed a case of domestic violence, she was as guilty as her husband in the case scenario. She added that they were both seeking help.
In a chat with Punch, she maintained that her marriage is still intact. She said she wanted to take her family off social media, especially at the time when she and her husband were undergoing therapy to save their marriage.
Bose Alao and Razaq Omotoyosi are blessed with four daughters.
