Onitilo. Lola and Bukky seem to be best friends in real life because
their chemistry comes through effortlessly. Since her marriage to
US-based lover and car dealer, Dare Ogunlana, broke up, the Kogi-born
actress has met a few men but she has not been quite lucky to have one
of them put a ring on it. Bukky, we reliably gathered has been concerned
and busy setting Lola up on dates with non-famous friends and some
buddies of her current hubby. She wanted Lola to have her kind of
relationship that will guarantee American citizenship status. When
Yakubu walked in, it was a willing and desperate Lola he met and, trust
her, she quickly hung on tight. Sources disclosed that while he was
cooling his feet in the Kuwaiti authorities' cell, Lola scampered for
his release by consulting marabouts widely. They were constantly in
touch on phone and gradually they built the affection.
On release some
months ago, after serving terms in Kuwait for one year, she sent him a
ticket to come home, made few appearances at functions that were
private and they bonded before he returned to the United States to
prepare for the August wedding. While Lola has taken the highroad by
walking down the aisle with Yakubu, brimming with broad smiles that
she has found love and a good match, observers of Nollywood marriages
and the rate at which it dissolves, feel Lola may have finally found a
big catch to perfect her plans for an American citizenship status.
Yakubu,
E24-7 MAGAZINE'S checks revealed, has never been married but he
has three kids, including a set of twins from two women among his
strings of ladies. From his profile, though he claimed to be an ICT
expert, he is not quite buoyant financially and his recent incarceration
in Kuwait has not helped. There is no record of an apartment in his
name; the newly married couple are guests in one of the hubby's
relations' house in Atlanta. Prior to his ill-fated venture in Kuwait,
he is said to have been living off his relations in California before
life threw terrible storms at him and he moved to Houston. In his bid to
survive, he crossed to Atlanta where he allegedly joined the credit
scam racket popularly known as 'Track 1, Track 2'. For Lola, it has been
a tortuous and lonely journey with her 10-year- old daughter, Omowunmi
from her first marriage with Dare. As she stepped out from the depths of
despair to happily ever after, it is not clear if Dare will not sue her
for bigamy as their marriage consummated in Nigeria has not been
officially dissolved. Lola and Yakubu are expected in Nigeria soon
