According to what First Weekly Magazine reported, the wedding plans of Sultry Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele to Oshodi, Lagos big boy and property merchant, Alhaji Kehinde Oloyede Almaroof on May 26, 2012 is being threatened by controversies, First Weekly can reveal.
While the prominent actress is said to be making an elaborate plans for the wedding, sources have said that she has lost her rating as a well-loved Nollywood actress with her proposed engagement to a man, who is alleged to be one of the boys in Oshodi, Lagos before hitting it big in property business.
Moreover, Kenny Doo, as Almaroof is fondly called in his base in Oshodi, is said to be married to a beautiful lady called Detoun, who has a popular fabric shop in Oshodi and who has four kids for him. Our source told us that Al-Mahroof’s marriage to Detoun has always been crisis-ridden as the couple fight almost on a daily basis.
The source even told us that about two other women have children for Al-Mahroof.
“What do you expect; he is a big boy and ladies flock around him. I know that two other women have children for him apart from his wife that bore him four children,” the source said.
When we asked if the couple is still living together, the source answered in the affirmative, “yes, they are still married, but it’s not a sweet marriage. They fight every time.”
But one of Funke Akindele’s close friends said that Kenny Al-Mahroof is divorced.
“They started dating about a year ago and Funke did not meet any woman in his home. He told Funke that he was married before, but has divorced his wife.
“And, what is wrong in marrying a divorcee? As far as I’m concerned, Al-Mahroof is single because he is divorced. What we should do is pray for them and wish them the best,” Funke’s friend told us.
Meanwhile, findings revealed that Al-Mahroof is a rich young guy, who started making money for himself when his mother was the Iyaloja (market leader) of Oshodi. Kenny’s mum, Alhaja Al-Mahroof, according to sources, once reined as the second in command to Alhaja Abibat Mogaji, the Iyaloja General of Lagos and mother of ACN National Leader, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Those in the know told First Weekly that Funke, nicknamed Jenifa, based on her role in her celebrated movie; ‘Jenifa,’ was not aware of the full marital status of Kenny Doo before she agreed to walk down the aisle with him, and that even after the truth was exposed, she has refused to change her stand.
Almaroof was said to have been parts of the boys, who used to forment trouble in Oshodi in those days, but has now climbed up the ladder with his success in property business.
The source said a fight later ensued between Alhaja Al-Mahroof and Alhaja Mogaji which made the former defect to the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State.
We learnt that was why Alhaja Al-Mahroof always sponsored his son, Kenny Al-Mahroof to contest elections in Oshodi under the banner of the PDP. Kenny contested the 2007, House of Representatives election to represent Oshodi-Isolo Federal Constituency under the PDP but lost.
He also served as the Personal Assistant to a former Minister of Works.
Kenny Doo, our sources revealed, now shuttles between Nigeria and London for his property business and lives in a modest mansion in Magodo area of Lagos.
It was gathered that another source of trouble for Funke is the fact that the Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), whose government has been supporting Funke Akindele’s movies through advert patronage and which uses her as a model for its programmes through the State Inland Revenue Board, may be angry at her choice of Almaroof, a PDP member, as husband.
Meanwhile, some of the fans of the successful actress have come hard on her for planning to settle down with another woman’s husband, and for picking a semi-literate as hubby, when she has a choice of getting a single man, who would match her academic qualification.
The dark-skinned diva was said to have bust into tears, when she was confronted by close associates, who condemned her for damning the consequences of her marriage to Almaroof, when she has several choices.
Her reason for weeping, we were told, is because she felt that she has waited enough and that now that she met someone who would take her as wife and make her happy, people do not seem to rejoice, but rather have chosen to condemn her.
Many of her critics wondered why on earth she would agree to be a second wife, they also asked why would Funke, with the level of her exposure and education as a University of Lagos law graduate, settle for a man, who is barely educated and who has four kids from another woman already.
They believe that Funke should have gone for a quiet and low key single man as husband.

please fans, leave my jenifa alone. when she didnt get married, people were crying fowl saying lots of things. in Naija, marriage is the ultimate of a woman not even happiness or her life…so let her be. a woman not married is considered irresponsible and she wants to be responsible, you are still complaining. this is what Naija has turned a lady like funke to

…yoruba people wey bush like this one called an “Alhaji” so no dey ever divorce! They are still married to their “Alhaja”. Funkugly if this man was a poor man and not a “lagos big boy” as he is being referred to would you have even looked him twice to marry? The answer is heeeelllll NO! But like the in-thing now in nollysheitwood women is that, all una dey do na to marry an already married man wey lie tell una say he is “rich”! You try o marrying a man that already has SIX children!!! Na wa o, so as you ugly reach you still ended up with an already married man like the rest?! Abegi na you sabi…jare, I tire for una all! if you like marry am if you like marry sherk na your choice. Me I don tire to dey correct una. At least you listened to me and my dearest lolo and agreed to marry.
Lalaland | 5/21/2012 3:23:56 AM |
…be my favourite cos she was wise enough to marry young instead of wasting her time fhucking all and sundry around lagos, she decided to marry the man wey come her way. Now they are both growing old together.
Chomy | 5/21/2012 4:13:33 AM |
Whatever/whoever is pushing u in2 this marriage must be very strong.I don’t see this guy as a good choice 4 u but its ur life though.However,ur choice is a clear impression of ur persona.too bad!!!

Why do you keep calling the guy “big boy”? He was one of the Oshodi thugs,who were picking pockets,stabbing during fights and doing frauds of all kind.Apart from that he can hardly speak English.A local champion.

Did anyone read,hear or see the wife raising any dust? Nope,she’s used to it.I mean 2 baby mamas and she’s still sitting pretty.Why did she not legalize her marriage till now?Bush market woman.An Alhaji cannot marry only one woman & she knew it too,so she was left in their old home,while he move to upper class Magodo with his present reigning queen!
Adamu Garba | 5/21/2012 4:35:07 AM |

Funke | 5/21/2012 3:37:21 AM |
You are all saying this without thinking, can any one of you take that? Your hubby, to bring home a second wife,let us face it, a polygamous home is not a good thing, think of the other lady’s children and her own, Funke is too much to hang in this type of stuff, we will all be back here when they start their wahala, I pray not to sha, Funke if u ever come here to read this comment of mine, pls take my advice, don’t do suffering and smilling ooooo, if things does not work out plsss, just walk out, na mi own bi that ooo
Lalaland | 5/21/2012 3:57:19 AM |
You no read behind the sarcastic way I wrote? What can any of us write or say that will change her mind. Nothing! She is NOT too much for this cos she is a gbegiri and ewedu woman and this is what they are used to doing….marrying an already married man…If she wanna marry a man with 20 wives na wetin concern me. I am just here to blog! Wetin be my own. I hope your own hubby no bring home another wife under your nose o funke, cos your write up sounds like a personal experience.

Abeg shut up!!
Queen Baby | 5/21/2012 4:06:12 AM
Funke, please dont do it. It is wrong in the sight of God and man. This man is married, no matter what he says about his wife, he is married to her and she will surely come back to her home because her kids are there. You are a christian for Christ sake. Look for a good christian man to marry or wait for God’s time, for He will surely do it for you at the right time. Funke, I love you like I love my kid sisters. God bless you.
Boko Suzy | 5/21/2012 4:07:52 AM
If Funke was the first wife and still married to her husband,will she want another woman to join her in her marriage?NO will be her answer.After marrying this Oshodi whatever,will she be happy for him to marry another woman after her?Again NO will be her answer.So why do to others what you dont want done to you?IF this man she MUST marry is not a rich man will she marry him?NO.All is about money and Local Fame.Million educated and bachelors but poor are looking for wife but these famous rich girls will prefer to be number 2 to 10 and even if its meant marrry their great grand father eg Sade.For the nollywood actresses SNATCHING or Join join is the game.This is where have respect for DAKORE EGBUSON now MRS AKANDE.She make the Billionaire son wait for her.Funke you want a rich local champion.you will loose lots of fans and you cannot be the type of Role model worthy to emulate if you continue in this shameful relationship of husband snatching.
Queen baby | 5/21/2012 4:08:45 AM
The man is handsome, no doubt about that, but all the same, HE IS MARRIED AND A MUSLIM MAN who will marry more wives. BE WARE.

The man is handsome? eh? eh woooooo! Chai eh! Ur name na ‘queen’, so a queen like u go see dis kokoma head with his oyo village tribal mark n cal him ‘hand + some’? Anyway d topic be say na agbero second hand husband FUnke wan marry as?? !
Funny | 5/21/2012 4:20:33 AM
Once a a thug ever a thug.Local champion will never change.Now I know the class funke belong but its a shame all because of Money?For the man its nothing bad as his religion permits him to marry 5 wives.No woman actually love to share her man with another woman but when he marry Funke she now has to share her man with Funke.
