Indeed, it has been a long walk to the aisle and the couple describes this union as God-ordained. First, they revealed that they had been dating since 2003! The beautiful Chairman/Managing Director, House Of Phreedah Empire, would tell you that she was ready for marriage when ‘Demola proposed.’ Now, as you read this, the two would become one, exchange rings and say, ‘Yes, I do’ at a lavish wedding ceremony in Lagos today, June 1, 2023. Want to hear their love story? Read the couple’s account of how divinity brought them together. They both speak with Owambevibes in this interview…
Owambevibes: How did you meet your husband, Demola Okulaja? When?
Farida: I met him in London in 2003 and we started dating. It has always been an off-and on relationship. I returned to Nigeria in 2010 and we started dating again till 2015 when I left him and went to marry my ex husband, Babatunde Sobowale. Now that I am free again, we met and he asked me to marry him, and I said, ‘yes.’
Real Reasons I Fell Apart With Larrit
I don’t understand why some certain people are insinuating that we are not on talking terms currently because of Demola. First, everyone should know that we are not having any misunderstanding because of Demola. Larrit and I started having issues last year December. Before we finally parted ways in December 2022, I travelled to London and I decided not telling her since she didn’t tell me when she travelled to London too.
I had parted ways with Larrit before Demola returned to me again in 2023 and asked for my hand in marriage. I was single, I love him because he understands me, and so what stops me from saying yes?’
I Didn’t Know Larrit When She Dated Demola
Yes, I was living in London. I understood that she dated him in 2010 for four months. I was not even Larrit’s friend then. I was not on Instagram in 2010 and I haven’t heard about Larrit. We weren’t friends at all in 2010. Larrit explained to some persons that when Demola returned from America to Nigeria, he asked her out and she told Demola that she was happily married. She rejected his request.
How Demola Returned To Me In 2023
When Demola decided to date me again, I agreed and when he proposed, I accepted since I was not married—I was very single. In fact, Larrit started throwing shades at me on social media when she heard that Demola and I were dating again. Truth be told, I didn’t know that Demola and I would get married. When he returned to me again, I thought it was our usual off-and-on affair. I would not deny that I am fond of him and anytime I set my eyes on him, that spark is rekindled. Since 2003, we would date, I would get angry at certain things he did and call it off. Maybe I was immature or not wise. In fact, it’s a testimony that we are getting married today. I give glory to God that it has ended in praise.
What Attracted Me About Demola
Demola is a hands-on man. He is someone I love, and I want to be around. Moreover, he is romantic and caring. Maybe that’s what makes him a ladies’ man and many women want him. I used to be very jealous when I was younger and quarrel with Demola over issues with other women. He is a one-woman-at-a-time guy and gives you all the attention. I’ve always been a date-one-man-at-a-time person too and felt cheated whenever I saw him with another woman, even when he wasn’t dating them. Then, I would walk out of the relationship. But, I am older now and wiser.
Ladies, Get Married To Your Friends
Women should get married to God-fearing men. Even if he womanizes, he would still respect you. Women, if your husband is good-looking, other women would want him too. What to do? Be patient, befriend him and don’t hide anything from him. Demola and I are best of friends and we don’t hide anything from each other. I know everything about him—the ladies he had been with and more. That’s why we were able to overcome all the odds when we went public with our relationship. When some people started seeing us together again, they started saying all sorts of rubbish but we stood strong and went ahead with our marriage plans. There is nothing I don’t know about Demola and it has helped me in this relationship.
Our Love Is Amazing
Demola is someone you would love to be with—he loves his space and so do I. I am a home girl. I love to take care of my household. I love to cook for the family too. Getting married to Demola is a dream come true. We know and believe God that this marriage shall work. Nothing shall break us, Insha Allah.
