The Day My Late Wife Aisha Abimbola Wept Bitterly At Femi Falana Office – Ibrahim Okunola
Aisha Abimbola’s Widower Denies Divorce, Says They Separated For 7 Years Because Of Family Issue
Nollywood actor Ibrahim Okunola, the widower of late actress Aisha Abimbola has debunked the rumour making rounds that he divorced the actress before she died.
Here is what the actor said in a chat with Saturday Beats:
“It is a lie that we had divorced. We had not lived together for about seven years but we were still legally married till she died. The reason we were separated is a family issue. I would miss her till I die because she was a virtuous mother and a go-getter.
I gave her the nickname, Magic Aisha because she had a way of achieving her dreams and goals. She was someone that would give you her shoulder to lean on and her listening ears no matter what you are going through. Even when she was not in my house again, if I had any issue in life, I always called her.”
“The late Aisha was my wife and her death has made me very sad. I knew she had cancer but we did not see her death coming. I thought she was going to survive the battle against cancer because she was a fighter and she really fought cancer. Though most people did not know about her ailment, she gave cancer a good fight before she died.
She did not tell people that she had cancer because she did not want people to pity her neither did she want to beg the public for money. Aisha was someone that respected my opinion and vice versa. Whenever she said something, I normally agreed with her. We discussed the issue of telling the public about her illness but she refused to open up to the public and I had to respect her opinion.
“The last time I saw her was a week before she travelled out of the country and if I am correct that would be December 23, 2017. She wanted to travel with our children to America and she needed some documents so she asked me to come with the documents she needed because for about seven years, we had not been together but we were still legally married.
We actually met in Femi Falana’s office for her to get the documents. After I had given her the required documents, I told her that she looked so lean, the next thing she did was to look at me and begin to weep. I had to comfort her and tell her that I would be with her in America the following year because I believed she was going to survive the illness being the fighter that she was. Sadly, she did not win the battle against cancer”.
And, deserting her because of ‘family issue’ makes you her husband?????? Please stay quiet. Your ‘wife’ that you had to meet in a lawyer’s office??????? What a joke some men are!
God bless you for your wisdom, meeting in a Lawyer’s office?
I was thinking that too. Why meet in the lawyer’s office.
Abi she left Him. The way the man sounded doesn’t look like He is the one that left. Dont say what you don’t know.
Who knows if it was the stress of the so called family issues that triggered the cancer. Yet people would open their mouth to say she abandoned her marriage. The things women go through…Rest in peace Aisha.
You are a bloody lair this man! With what you have said, shows you weren’t der for her. Last time you saw her was 5months ago, when last did yo put a call through? Mchew, Aisha rest on.
I don’t really know her but all pictures I have seen so far, looks like a very loveable and peaceful lady. I know you’re at peace with the Lord.
All these praises after she had died “Magic Aisha,shoulder to cry on, a goal getter”…. she had all these qualities and you claim seplation was the only option… my guy pack well.
oh and you even said she was a good mother to the children. listen here Mr Nollywood actor I think you left Aisha for another BIG ASS woman somewhere. looking at your beard and the first Name, I see 4 wives type of guy…….I don’t just understand why everyone in Nigeria is a Nollywood actor…. never heard of this Ibrahim guy.
RIP Aisha.
