The controversy surrounding the marriage of Nollywood actress,
Foluke Daramola to Kayode Salako is far from over as Bukola, her friend, has
lashed out at her for snatching another woman’s husband.
Bukola, who stormed P.M.NEWS office Thursday, said she didn’t
introduce Foluke to Kayode so that both of them would get married, but to
enable cash-strapped Foluke to get financial assistance from Kayode.

Kayode was happily married before he met Foluke. His marriage
then crashed and he’s now married to Foluke.

One subject of discussion that actress Foluke Daramola will not
welcome at a dinner table is Bukola Fasuyi. It was not always that way. Bukola
and the actress used to be close friends until recently, when she got
married–for the second time.

While Foluke has remain tight-lipped on what caused the break-up
between her and Bukola, the latter has been having a field day in the media,
lynching her friend.
In an interview with P.M.NEWS Entertainment Cafe on Tuesday, Bukola queried her
ex-friend’s choice of Kayode Salako as husband on the ground that he is married
with kids. On the surface, Bukola’s disapproval of Foluke’s marriage to an
already married man appears well founded.

But beneath her sanctimonius posturing is her admission that she
was the one that introduced Foluke to Salako. The plan, she claimed, was to
have them date, not marry.

Bukola explained that on 13 February, 2012, she was with Salako
at Mamas Restaurant, Omole, Lagos, when Foluke called her and she invited her
to join them at the fun haven. She allegedly smoothened Salako’s path to
Foluke’s heart with an assurance that the man would take care of her
financially. Foluke, she alleged, was broke and needed financial assistance
like flowers need rain.

It did not go according to her plan, as Foluke and Salako wrote
their own script by getting married, a development that angered Salako’s first
wife enough to move out of her matrimonial home.

“Kayode was my very good friend, likewise Foluke. Why I joined
them together was basically because Foluke was in trauma, and she needed help.
I thought of introducing her to Kayode so that he could assist. I told her that
it is fine if the relationship leads to marriage, but I never envisaged that it
would break Kayode’s first marriage. God sees my heart that in as much as I
want Foluke’s happiness, I didn’t want her to break another woman’s home. Ever
since this happened, my heart has been troubling me, and I have asked for
forgiveness,” said Bukola.

Her decision to seek forgiveness for what–stripped of its
gloss–was pimping, Bukola claimed, was informed by the Holy Spirit, which told
her tell the world how her friend met and Salako. Bukola, a Public
Relations practitioner, explained that she started feeling guilty the moment
Kayode’s first wife moved out of her matrimonial home.

The face-off, which has been trending on social media for some
days now, has sparked controversies, as the parties involved have been
receiving knocks and support in equal measure.

Unsurprisingly, Bukola is the one getting more of the
knocks. Chioma, one of those that commented to Bukola’s claim on a social
website, wrote: “The truth is that both women are foolish, but Bukola is the
devil. If I was Mr. Salako, I wouldn’t listen to this Bukola of a woman because
she is the destroyer of a home…”

Many commenters reckon that for Bukola to start experiencing a
bout of contrition after wrecking a home was hypocritical because she knew the
man was married when she facilitated a dalliance with Foluke. Bukola’s defence,
as she explained to P.M. NEWS Entertaiment Cafe,
was: “I was just trying to help a friend. Foluke was seriously broke then, so I
decided to introduce her to a man that could lift her up.” The man evidently
has–to Bukola’s chagrin.

An attempt at getting Foluke’s view was subtly rebuffed, as she
explained that her husband has warned her not to engage Bukola in a war of
words.

But in telephone interview, Salako branded Bukola a hypocrite.
“I have known Bukola Fasuyi for many years and I know her very well. She cannot
be claiming to be Holy Spirit-filled now. She cannot be claiming to be feeling
guilty because she also lives off married men. All she does is arrange ladies
for married men. Besides, all the men she has been dating are all married men.
How can a woman who drinks heavily and smokes marijuana claim to be Holy Spirit
filled overnight? I’m married to Foluke Daramola and she is a woman I love very
much.”

Salako debunked Bukola’s claim that he had been asking her out
for about one and half years. According to him, he only asked her out once, but
was discouraged by the condition she gave. “She told me that she is a crazy
lover and that if we date, she’d want to marry me. And I said if that should be
the case, we should forget about it. That was when she first talked about
introducing Foluke Daramola to me,” Salako added.

Salako, who is popularly known as Fasholamania, added that his
relationship with Foluke is unconnected to the reason his first wife left. “My
first wife has not told anybody that she left the house because of Foluke. She
is the mother of my kids, and I still have a good relationship with her. We
still speak on the phone.”
