Solomon Akiyesi is no doubt a popular actor but he became
more popular when news made rounds that he allegedly
wanted to marry a lady while still legally married to another.
To some, he is a serial divorcee and the news about him
online does not do justice to the young man’s reputation.
Many believe he has married at least four times.
But in an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats, the actor poured
out his heart, stating that he has always been the victim in
the two marriages he has had.
Akiyesi said, “I am not married and I am not prepared to get
married again. Since my marriage broke down, I have decided
to be alone instead of investing my love in any woman who
would not appreciate me in the first place. If I have to get
married at all, I would marry a white woman or a black
woman with a white heart because they are the ones who
appreciate love. I can no longer invest my love on people
who do not appreciate it and still rub it on my face.
“I am not going to say that none of the women I was with
appreciated me. Before we get into marriage, everything is
nice and smooth because we are pretending and making
each other believe what we are not. But when we get into
marriage, then we see our true colour. Marriage is like an
investment; when you put your money into a business, you
would expect returns, and the returns of marriage are peace
and rest of mind. If you are going into a marriage that would
not guarantee you any of that, then it is better you do not
venture into the marriage at all. All the pictures people saw
on Facebook about me getting married were all location
pictures.
“I have been into only two marriages that crashed and they
all followed the same pattern and I am not prepared to go
into that kind of pain any more. The only person that can
pressure me to remarry is myself because I am the one who
has been down that road before and I am the one preserving
myself from going down that line. If you see me go into any
marriage, then it means that I have fallen for my own
pressure. No one can pressure me into getting married again.
I am not saying that getting married is bad, it is wonderful if
you get married to your best friend. Sometimes I feel very
lonely and have no one to console me when things are down
for me, no one says well done when things are going
smoothly,” he said.
He told Saturday Beats that it was not time for him to open
up the can of worms that led to the failure of his marriages.
The actor was also quick to add that he loved and respected
African women but the few bad eggs have spoilt the good
ones.
Akiyesi hinted that his last marriage almost made him lose
his dignity.
“It is not that black women are bad but to get married, one
must be able to find a woman that would also be willing to
sacrifice love too. It is not a one-sided thing. Find someone
who is ready to love you the way you love them back. It is a
beautiful thing to get married to such people but when you
are the one doing the loving and the running around, then
there is always a problem. The day you are not able to
provide, there would always be a bigger problem. My fans
should expect more of professionalism from me in my career;
nobody should expect marriage because I am very happy
alone. My previous marriage took a lot from me and it almost
took away my dignity. I am not bothered with house chores,
besides I am not a lazy man,” the actor said.
