After months of keeping mum and ignoring the different reports on the
media concerning her controversial marriage to Pastor Kayode Salako,
Foluke Daramola in a recent interview with a national newspaper has finally cleared the air.
See excerpts below:
Are you separated or divorced?
I’m naturally divorced because it is over four years since I left him.
But the paper work is not yet done. I don’t want complications really,
complications in the sense that I don’t want my children involved in
that mess and moreover, I’m not getting married tomorrow or any time
soon.
Let’s talk on your marriage to Kayode. How did you feel?
Of course, I felt good. I am happy in my marriage
But people said you snatched somebody’s husband?
I did not snatch anybody’s husband. I never asked her to pack out of
her husband’s house. Moreover, I did not meet her at home when I married
Kayode.
But, when you were dating him, you knew he was married?
I knew.
But you still went ahead to marry him?
That is between him and me.
What about your children, don’t they ask after their father?
Whenever they are talking about their father, I always tell them that
when they are old enough to use a phone, I will buy it for them and they
can communicate with him, but when he says he wants to communicate with
them, I allow him to do so. I never stopped him from doing so. I never
stop him from communicating with them.
Your friend, Princess Fajuyi Bukola claimed you used charm to snatch Kayode from his wife. What would you say to that?
See, I don’t have anything to say to that, she can go ahead and say whatever she likes.
But the story is all over the town, she even claimed she took you to the man?
That is her problem. Why is she just saying it now? I don’t have
anything to say to that. All I know is now I am happy in my marriage.
Is it true you love wearing revealing clothes?
I used to wear them but the Bible says when I was a child, I acted like
a child, when I became a man, I stopped being childish. When I was
younger, I used to wear revealing clothes. When I was in OAU, I was
myself, I clubbed, I partied, I had fun, I had relationships and I had
heartbreaks. Now, I am much older, I no longer believe in wearing
revealing clothes because I am more matured and I see things
differently.
Even sometimes, when I see people wear it, I say with
time, they would stop it, it is not things you can tell people to do or
not to do. Then I used to believe that if you don’t wear anything skimpy
or revealing, you were not in vogue, but now, if you tell me to wear
it, I would just look at it and say no.
What advice do you have for up-and-coming actors?
First, they should be educated because for me, education is very
important. Also, they have to put God first. They should be hardworking,
focused and enduring. True success doesn’t come from being lazy or
cutting corners.
How fulfilled are you?
I am content but it is not that I am not working hard. I want to live a good life. I am okay.
Any word to your fans?
To my fans, I would say thank you, without them there won’t be me. But
sometimes, when we make mistakes, celebrities generally, it is not that
we want to make mistakes. That is just what makes us human and nobody is
perfect.
