*The Bukola Adeeyo's Connection
Currently, the internet has been agog with the good news of pretty actress, Toyin Abraham's bouncing baby boy for fellow actor, Kola Ajeyemi. And congratulations are in order for the two love birds.
But not many know how far, the new father better known as "Awilo" in the Yoruba movie circle has come, as far as matters of love are concerned. Especially, how a certain heartbreak from a fellow actress, according to reports, made him resolve to find love with a bigger and far more prominent thespian in the industry than the one that broke his heart.
This writer can say authoritatively that the first known love of Awilo, when he was still trying to find his footing in the industry back then in Abeokuta, Ogun State, where he was trained, was another up and coming actress at that time known as Bukola Adeeyo. It is instructive to state here that when this writer sought an interview with Awilo at a movie location then, he was quick to introduce Bukola as his love so that she too could be interviewed to project their careers together.
Meanwhile, after sometime when movie roles started coming more for them from Abeokuta movie producers and even beyond the state and their faces were becoming prominent amongst movie lovers, Bukola was said to have grown wings to the extent that she, reportedly, felt that the level of Awilo at that time was somewhat low for her to get the kind of further fillip her career required.
And it was for that reason mainly, she was said to have started having dalliances with far more prominent actors in the industry, including a top Yoruba actor who has ambasadorial deals with a couple of major brands in the country today, not minding the closeness of the said movie star to Awilo himself. And when Awilo could no longer cope with hearing and seeing fellow actors making out with his so called fiancee, he had to severe the affair, albeit, painfully.
But then, Awilo, was said to have resolved that, the best way to respond to the "insult" he got from Bukola was to be on the haunt for a bigger and more prosperous actress in the industry, no matter how long that would take him. And years after, fate apparently brought Toyin Abraham his way, and the rest of the story as they say, is history.
It is then understandable, how someone like him could easily overlook all the controversies that have trailed Toyin all through her love life, like her shadow, and decided to get engaged with her notwithstanding. One only prays that this does not come with an expiry date like the previous ones she got involved in.
