Regrettably, things didn’t unfold as anticipated, leading to a highly publicized divorce.
According to Akindele, the aftermath of her divorce encompassed missed business opportunities and the emotional toll it took on her.
During this trying time, her mother played a pivotal role in guiding her through the difficulties.
She concluded by imparting wisdom to young women, encouraging them to glean from her experiences and avoid rushing into marriage hastily.
“Take your time, if you rush in you will rush out. You know, I just wanted to get married. I want to do things right, have children and all that. When I went into the marriage, it didn’t work fine. And it ended in a very bad way, in social media, the noise was everywhere. I was actually filming and somebody called me and told me, I wanted to die!”
“You know I cried, lost some good deals then. But I didn’t let it break me. Thank God for my mum who encouraged me to put more effort to work. I channeled the energy to work and I kept saving more. I didn’t let the situation break me down.”
