Segun Ogungbe: I Married Omowunmi Ajiboye As My 2nd Wife, She Was My Longtime Girlfriend Before We Married
Nollywood actor Segun Ogungbe has finally shed more light on the controversy surrounding his marriage to actress Omowunmi Ajiboye who became his wife back in 2015.
Here is what the actor told Saturday Sun as part of his damage control drive;
“I read the stories online and there were different versions but the truth is that I did not impregnate my wife’s best friend. It is all rumour. The lady in question was not even part of my theatre group; neither was she a part of my drama school. She had been my girlfriend for a very long time even before we finally got married.
“What actually happened was that there was a lady who wanted to marry me a long time while ago and I made her realise that as of that time I could not have two wives. She is not into entertainment at all and I would not want to mention names. Eventually, I got together with my second wife and when she got pregnant and we eventually got married, the lady was very mad at me.
She was the one that went on her Facebook wall to spread the false news that I got my first wife’s best friend pregnant. She was the one that framed me simply because I did not want to marry her back then. Sadly, people are quick to believe news like this without confirming the truth. No blogger reached out to me before they picked the news from her Facebook page and that is the rumour being peddled against me till date.
No one would believe the truth till they hear from me but no one reached out to me and how many people would I begin to explain what really transpired.”
“I did not respond to the news initially because I believe everyone has the freedom of speech, more so, I thought that if I had spoken out, it would prolong the matter and I just wanted it to end. I did not do anything bad; she was the one that framed me in such a way that I would look bad in the public eyes. I also did not know who to reach out to for them to tell my side of the story and you know how this industry is.
If I say a word to the wrong person, they could easily twist my words and make matters worse. That is why I decided to keep quiet. My wives did not know each other before I got married..”
“I have a peaceful household. God has blessed me with wives that understand each other. It is only God that can help a man have a peaceful home. However, for those who think that I would have about 20 wives like my uncle; all I have to say is that they should mind their business”.

You are a married man cheated on your first wife and married another woman. With due respect I think you should be a role model. The kids watching movies look up to. And you can still go to media saying all that. I bet some men doesn’t know right from wrong. I bet it you are secondary school dropout. Get some Education mate.

Segun something is missing in your explanation. Are you dating this girl before your married your first wife or you are cutting sides while you were still married to your first wife. You need to make some clarifications as per that. If you have come across this lady after you have already been with your first wife then, that means you’ve been cheating on her. At the same token If you have dated her before you married to your first wife why are you reconnecting to your ex-girl friend? Anyway, let me tell you this, your first wife looks far better than your second wife. I don’t have any personal bias with her, but we men are just insatiable of women.
Again Segun, are you ready to go polygamous? Just be prayerful. I’m from polygamous home and to be honest with you, it is not pleasant no woman will feel comfortable sharing her husband with another woman. They may not fight publicly but spiritual fight is toxic than you might have thought.

Man and greed ; one wife is not enough ; if only they know how maladjusted some children from polygamous homes are ; one man one wife; God made it so for good reason but man twists and turns for our own selfish ends. May God help us all

There’s really nothing extraordinary in marrying two wives, if he can be fair and treat them equally. Most men condemning others are worse themselves. At the minimum, he is brave enough to go public and introduce the second wife to the first, rather than playing hide and seek. Education has nothing to do with polygamy and some practice it in the Western world. A lot of men have mistresses and father children outside their marriage, but too cowardly to go public and bully others who are bold enough to do so. If he can keep his home intact and provide adequately for his wives, it’s nobody’s business how many wives he marries. It’s his life, so if his wives are not complaining, we should stay out of others’ private lives.

Lola O, nobody is condemning this guy for marring two wives provided he can take care of them as you’ve said but the point I’m raising here is about the manner and inappropriate way of marring his second wife.
Most people are against him because they believe Segun married his wife’s personal assistant who is like a boss to her. It would have been different if he had met her on neutral ground and married her as a second wife. That was why I laid more emphasis on how he met her in my previous comment. He can marry as much as he wants but at least do it in a proper way. He can come out publicly bringing his first wife to debunk this but I gathered from different sources that his second wife is indeed his wife’s PA.
You are a woman yourself and you won’t allow your husband to marry your PA or a girl you are mentoring. That is the main issue here.

Most of this brainwashed murfukrs… if you grand-father or even ur father never married the 9th wife not to talk of the second wife, ur asses won’t be here to enjoy this world and haVE the privilege to comment on matters does not concern you.
You’ll find out those with two wives are more responsible while those with one wife have plenty concubines everywhere that never marry but break there hearts while promising love and that’s ok, fools.
Tell that shit to the fake oyinbo life that practice worse sodomy behind doors and tell u ur African ways are babaric. Any man can do what they like mehn it’s a free world.

Despite no valid justification to establish the fact that he got married to his wife’s personal assistant, even if it’s true, do you want him to marry his wife’s enemy? In fact, what is happening here has nothing to do with how, where and when he began the relationship but at the end he was bold, courageous and manly enough to make it a reality. Please, praise him for being a man. More so, both the first and the second wives are in the picture with him here happily, why are you threatened. May almighty God guide and guard you aright Segun. Congratulations.
