Other miseries only speak but heartbreak shrieks out. Yet each couple extinguishes the flames of their love as it pleases them. Some do it with a bitter look, some with a flattering word. Some do it with a kiss and others by infidelity.
Ask Kayode Salako and Foluke Daramola, they would definitely have their pick from the pack. Many a man in love with a dimple makes the mistake of marrying the whole girl, said Stephen Leacock, late British-born Canadian writer and economist, in his famous work, Literary Lapses. Leacock’s words unarguably strike a sore point in the life of Kayode Salako who left his beautiful wife and children many years ago to marry the popular actress. Sadly, the dude rediscovered his joy in the ruins of his first marriage. Bukola, his first wife, was Irked by her husband’s continued romance with Foluke, she reportedly tried to reclaim him from her grip way back then, but all her efforts proved to be futile.
Now, Kayode and Foluke are having serious problem in the ill-fated marriage. Yes, the marriage is on the brink of collapse. Kayode has travelled to Dublin to cool off as you read. Foluke has literally become like the languid breeze blowing listlessly across shrivelling meadows. So sad!
According to an insider, their marriage was allegedly dogged by disagreements over how things should be done and the kind of lifestyle they ought to adopt as a couple. Things generated between the couple when neither party agreed to play the meek lamb to the other’s wild cat. Concerned members of both families are reportedly working hard to mend fences between the estranged couple as you read.
