In a recent interview with Encomium, popular Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi, revealed shocking details behind the decision to divorce his British wife of four years..
See some excerpts from the interview;
When did you notice the marriage could no longer work?
You never wish your marriage would not work. Marriage is different from live-in-partner or dating. I just felt I should take the bull by the horn and walk out.
Aside the reason of long distance and her refusal to join you in Nigeria as she promised, what other reasons would you say were responsible for the crash of the 4 year union?
No other reason that I know of. Long distance gives room for infidelity and other negatives. It’s best avoided. The most obvious and tenable reason is what you highlighted. It’s so sad because she is such a wonderful woman.
It’s shocking when you broke the news of the break up in your marriage to your British wife, Fran. How did it happen?
In all honesty, there were ups and downs in the marriage for a while. At a point, she thought people writing on the internet was really affecting my decision to move over. I told her I am a different breed and such talks hardly get at me. When I take decision to be happy, provided it is nothing criminal, illegal, immoral or anti-social, I careless about those who feel angered by such decision.
I decided to call it quit when despite trying to conceal the storm, an upcoming actress who recently relocated to the UK got to know some hidden stuff and shared it with some media guys. She snitched on me and kept my marital secret at risk. I thought there is no point trying to see if it would work. Fighting to make it work and keep the storm secret was just too much for me. I chose this November trip to London to make the announcement before they misinform people by half baked story that hurts really.
Some are even saying you dumped her after using her to perfect all the documents for your British citizenship. How would you react to this?
Majority of those that made comment even lack understanding of how this thing works. You now see why most comments don’t get to me. You must be articulate and concise to have your comment hit me. If I had pursued the citizenship, I will first be issued a five year temporary spouse visa. At the expiration of that, if and when I comply with set down immigration rules, then I get that renewed to indefinite leave to remain.
Perhaps after six months I will denounce my Nigeria citizenship and do a citizen test. It is after the success of this I can become a British Citizen. If we are not together after the first five years and get her to support my application for indefinite, I become an illegal immigrant.
Now, ask yourself, is the marriage up to five years. If I have the papers will I ask for divorce? I hope you understand this process I take the pain to explain. I appreciate the fact she wanted me to be a citizen but I am not ready for such now. I don’t even see myself living in the UK soon. My career is just gathering shape. She promised me we are living in Nigeria and she will easily get employed hence we went further with the wedding plans before she changed that I should be the one to process and come. I said NO because I’m not ready for that now.
That was the beginning of our marital storm. I must add this because she reads these things, I did not receive a Kobo in transfer from her or through anyone throughout the marriage. She spent directly whenever we were on holiday or she bought anything for us or for me. I said this because it’s either paper or about money.
No matter the situation, some people will still have some dignity left in them. It’s my life and my marriage. I went this route without remorse because I choose to lead the campaign for a free Nigeria. People should be free to make a choice and if nothing criminal, immoral, anti-social or illegal we must respect it. I just want to also make a point.
How would describe the four year journey with Fran?
It is an experience. I love the fact that at that stage of my emotional life, I was bruised by past failed relationship and she came on to stabilise me. I needed emotional stability and won’t say I made the decision when I was weak. I just wanted to be loved and trust that the woman meant it and is saying the truth.
I ended up believing her when she said I tick all her boxes. I believed because I am of the opinion she won’t be lying about what she feels. She didn’t give me reason there was another man, compared to some I was encountering during that time.
