On Friday 17th of June, Bimbo reluctantly
granted City People Publisher, SEYE KEHINDE and Assistant Society
Editor, ABIOLA ORISILE an exclusive interview on why she packed up her
marriage to Yomi who is one of the sons of late Baba Adinni of Nigeria,
Alhaji Iyanda Wahab Folawiyo. She has also closed down her Victoria
Island shop and moved out of the premises.

interview:
There is this rumour in town that you have moved out of your husband’s house. Is this true?
It is no longer a rumour. That is the
truth. I moved out 2 weeks ago when I saw efforts being made to
frustrate me out of my home. My husband moved out months back, leaving
me and my daughters. I have to move on. I have suffered enough I gave my
husband a lot of time to see if he can come back and I also reached out
to him but it was all a futile effort. I left when I saw that I didn’t
see him coming back. I had to take my kids and leave.

How did your once happy marriage get to this pitiable state?
It’s rather unfortunate that things
could end up like this between Yomi and I. He is someone that I really
love so much. He is someone that I want the best for. Even though we are
not together anymore, I still want the best for him and pray that God
will find him someone who will affect him for God and have patience with
him. He moved out of the house 5 months ago without a word. But, two
days before he left, he told me that he had offended me and I said how.

He said to me that his family called him
and sat him down. I asked, your family? And he said Yes. He mentioned
names, while he said they told him in a little meeting that they want
him to write his Will. I asked him how old he is he that he will be
writing a Will. I said what property do you have that you are writing a
Will for. Though he usually gets a cheque twice, yearly and his family
wanted to know who they would give his annual cheque to if anything
happens to him.

He said he was so confused and wanted to
write my name and my daughters name but the family were against this
and they said why are you writing her name instead of the name of his ex
and her son. He said he didn’t know what to do and he wrote the name of
his ex-wife and her son. I asked if what he did was right. I
remembered I told him to forget about me, but how can you have 2
children and you write only one when you ought to have written Ayomide
and Mosunmola. He said he didn’t think it through till when he got home.
HE SAID HE FELT BAD DOING THIS WHEN HE KNOWS THAT I, Bimbo was the one there for him in sickness when there was nobody.

When he was living in my own house, I
didn’t see family members around him. I didn’t know what he did at home
but he came to live with me for 10 months. He is been there for me just
like I have been there for him as well. Even if I don’t deserve anything
I believe that my daughter deserves something from her father. He
started crying in the house and I was not the only one there. We had eye
witness when he was telling me this. If he denies it I have prove.

I can call on people who served as eye
witness. Anything I tell you I have proof. Let him come out of wherever
he is because that is what he told me. At that point I said to myself,
thank God I am working. It is not the Will that will decide what my
daughter will become. I started crying in the middle of the conversation
and he was crying as well that he will go back to the office and tell
them he didn’t know what came to his mind that he wrote that.

Since then, I saw he was not comfortable
around the house anymore. He came back one day and said his friends
said why did he tell me such a sensitive issue and there is no woman he
can tell that he will be happy. He started getting scared and I told him
not to worry and he granted an interview with an on-line platform where
he said he ran for his dear life. The only reason why I think Yomi left
the house was because I am his saviour and many people run from their
saviour so as not to get saved from the enemy. Yomi is someone that I
love very much.

Lots of people say that I got married to
him because of the money. I don’t understand why people will think like
that. I am also from a very rich family. Money is not a problem in the
family I come from.All that I achieved today is as a result of my
father’s efforts, My mother and my uncle Bujuji Kashamu all assisted me

father’s efforts, My mother and my uncle Bujuji Kashamu all assisted me

Yomi can never say that he had assisted
me in business. It is whatever he brings home that we manage, as his
wife. It is not like he has a company or his own personal house. He
works in his father, company. It is not like I have access to anything
directly from him. It is not like I can walk into their company and say
that I want this. Yomi has lied against me a lot. I don’t know why he is
fond of lying. I have always loved my husband but i started getting
worried when Yomi will go and take loans from people.

An instance was when he took loan from
one Mr Femi Ajayi 3 years ago and he refused to pay back. Mr femi called
me when I was in Dubai with my 2 daughters sympathising with me that I
lost my daughters. His statement was “Epele Aunty,Emabinu pe mi pe yin ,
epele ti awon omoyin to ku“(Sorry I leant you lost your daughters).

I was mad and he said Uncle Yomi
borrowed money from him stating that we lost our daughters and needed
money to buy casket. I told him my daughters are not dead and I will
never bury my daughters in Jesus name. He explained further. I got so
scared. I was inside the Emirate Mall in Dubai when I received the
call. Funny enough, we all came to Dubai with Yomi and I told my first
daughter to speak with the Uncle Femi and she spoke to him saying “Hello
Uncle“.

Femi was shocked and he said how can
somebody lie with his children and I said, you know what, my husband can
never tell you that. I told him we were in Dubai together that I will
talk to my husband when I get back to the hotel since I was sure he
won’t tell him something like that. I was bitter and couldn’t shop
again. I met Yomi in the bathroom and told him I want to see him. I
asked did he take any loan from Mr Femi Ajayi and he said Yes.

Who is Mr Femi Ajayi?
Mr Femi is like a junior friend of his.
He is one of those “Asewo“(Money Charger) that hang around parties. I
don’t know how they came around been friends. He usually calls me when
Yomi takes a loan from him and he is not ready to pay. He confirmed that
he collected loan from him. I also asked why he lied that my 2
daughters are late. How could you say that as a father and he said to
me, `I am Sorry`.

He tried to explain but I was angry. I
walked out of the hotel room with my kids and I didn’t go back to the
hotel room until late at night when I was calm. Even though I got over
it before we left Dubai, that can’t be erased from my mind. It is
something that I think about when we are happy together, when we are
cuddling, laughing, it keeps flashing to my mind. If he thinks I am
lying, let him prove me wrong. He is not the only person he owes. He is
obviously going to deny it.

But I am ready with proof. I believe
everyman should take care of his children and wife. You are supposed to
bring money for the kid’s welfare and how you get that is not the wife’s
business since you are working. I know you as somebody working and not
somebody living on a loan.

How come Yomi stayed with you for 10 months when he has his own flat?
When I met Yomi, we started as friends
and after 2 months we started dating. Before we started dating, we were
always together and we had good times together. He is a very caring and
nice man I can’t deny that. The only issue I have with Yomi is that he
lies to me alot. He lied to his brother that I lost my granny. As a
matter of fact, my granny died when I was 7years Old. That was when I
didn’t even know what a relationship is or know I was going to meet Yomi
Folawiyo.

Yomi lived with me for 10months after he
told me that his wife was in London, I was living in my own place at
Magodo. Though my parents also stayed in Magodo in Lagos. He said his
wife, Ayomide’s mum and his mother didn’t like him. He told me all what
he said they did to him. He said he ran away from her because of that
and I said you have to go back because of your son and he said they are
not in Nigeria.

He went to the extent of telling my
brother My brother is very much alive and can testify to this. I was
told not to marry him. I was told he has many girl friends and that he
will leave me with time but I was seeing a loving and caring man. I was
seeing a caring and down to earth man little did I know he was
pretending. I didn’t see anything bad about him.

I didn’t want to keep the baby as I
wasn’t so sure I wanted to marry him. He begged me saying he had only
one child and also spoke about a failed IVF. He said he wanted the baby
seeing it came out as the will of God. I am happy I kept the baby
despite how he went about tarnishing my image. She is a blessed child
and I thank God because she has remained a buddle of joy to me.

But there are stories flying around about the paternity of your daughter?
I am not aware of that. On the issue of
paternity, Yomi himself has never told me to my face that my daughter is
not ours. He has never denied that it is not our daughter. It is just
things I have been hearing around.

Why did you choose to pack
out of the house as many marriages go through their ups and downs and
women still stay in the marriage?

I left because I had to move on with my
life. I have 2 daughters and I have to move on so as to be there for
them. My Life was in danger. Like I said he left the house 5 months ago.
When he left, he was still calling the security at the gate, passing
messages across to them. He will pass messages to the electrician, the
security. At a point, the socket in the house started shocking me and
shocked the children.

I have pictures and evidence of all
these things. I took pictures of them. Even the kitchen had a naked wire
that was left open. There were times I would be returning home from the
shop at 5pm and the security would lock me out. I was going through so
much drama and embarrassment.

The children were locked in once and
they couldn’t go to school. My daughter wanted to do common entrance and
her lesson teacher was locked outside for 5 months. When I called the
Manager of the property to help us fix all the sockets, he said Oga said
nobody should enter your flat. I was living in a Flat in Folawiyo
Towers in Apapa and not a mansion.

He said Oga said we should not fix the
socket in your flat, so I said to myself; I am no longer safe here. I
have children, my daughter will want to charge her phone herself, which
means that he deliberately wants to kill my kids and I. I am surprised
that Yomi could say to an online publication that he ran for his dear
Life in an online interview.

For instance, ever since I knew Yomi, he
had always had Hypertension and Diabetes; This can be proven by his
medical history at the hospitals he visits. He has been claiming that he
had Hypertension and Diabetes through me. He has had them for over
14years even when I was not in the picture.

The records are there in his hospital at
St Nicholas and Reddington and Yomi himself told me he has had Stroke
twice even when his Dad was alive. He said he was taken to Redddington
and when it didn’t work out, he was flown to London. I have slept on the
floor of Reddington Hospital before. That was when he was hospitalised
There are lots of people with Hypertension and Diabetes all over the
world but they live a healthy Life style. The reason I always quarell
with Yomi is because he has refused to stop drinking and smoking.

I have tried to curb and even go as far
as praying and fasting for him. This is somebody I love so much and I
should be able to go the extra mile for him. But Yomi will go and sit
down at the Navy Bar and Lagoon Bar in Apapa from 2pm to 10pm at night.
Sometimes people will call me to come and take him home.

Even his Mobile policeman called me once
and said Madam, Madam Oga drove himself and I said where is the driver
and he said the driver got a call that his wife put to bed. I told him
to send me an address and I called a cab man at 10.30pm to drive them
home. This happens like every other time.

Why didn’t you try to help him out?
I have tried times without number. I
have gone to his hospital at Reddington, and I have tried to reach out
to the family. Like when this problem started, I tried to reach out to
his sister, and she said I should have known the kind of person Yomi is
before I married him and why am I complaining now. I said he changed
when I first met him and I didn’t know he was still going to change
again. I tried to change him. He actually changed when we got married to
me. He stopped drinking and smoking and that was why I could get
pregnant. The main reason why we fight is just because of his drinking
and smoking habits. He takes loans from people when there’s nothing he
want to do with it.

What relationship do you have with the Folawiyo`s?
I have a perfect relationship, I don’t
have any problem with the Folawiyo`s. Me as a person think they are nice
people. I am happy to have been part of the Folawiyo`s Dynasty. I am
happy I have a daughter for the family. I have never had issue with any
of them. They have never treated me badly.

Even though Yomi told me they said he

Yomi. When I had my baby, they were there for me. Mrs Johnson wanted to
take care of the naming; she wanted to take care of everything. She
cooked for me for few days.

She brought fresh fish and gave me a
cheque after naming. Uncle Tunde was not around but he sent Mosunmola
beautiful Gucci, Channel among other designers to her from abroad. Even
his wife was not left out. They all showered me with love and care. The
family has been nice, even Uncle Lanre bought all the Champagne we used
for the naming. Even his sisters, Motunde, Labisi, Aminat are all nice
people and they love me while I love and hold them in high esteem.

What kind of wedding did you do with him?
We had a court wedding in Ikoyi Registry
on the 3rd of December, 2011 and I was happy to be married to him but
it’s just quite unfortunate how things turned out.

Have you tried to call him to see how he is faring?
I have tried getting in touch with him.
When he sees my calls he ignores it and sometimes switches off his
phone. I have sent people to him and there was no way I could reach him.
At one point, I was fighting the Manager of the Estate, Mr Kehinde
Lasisi. I told him, he always knows where Yomi is because he is always
the one he sent to the house. He sends you to Nanny to bring some of his
clothes. I said, have you seen Yomi and he said he hasn’t. I searched
for him several times and it was always futile effort. I also got in
touch with Mrs Johnson who said she calls and he doesn’t pick up.

Don’t you think maybe you
are the cause of his problems. Some say he has problems with your
flamboyant life style of been on Instagram all the time showing off?

Well before he left the house, he was
always complaining about my pictures on Instagram and Facebook, even
though I am private on Facebook I am so much private on Instagram.It is
just because of the kind of job I do. I am into Skincare, I am into
Fashion. I also like to dress in a way women can see and like what I
wear. Even older people dress in lovely ways. My husband is one of those
kind of people that don’t understand the social media.

The social media platform has helped me
and my business so much. I have been able to use it to reach out to many
beyond the shore of Nigeria. So I don’t know why life is funny and
people in it are funny as well. Even when you dress in a very funny and

and my business so much. I have been able to use it to reach out to many
beyond the shore of Nigeria. So I don’t know why life is funny and
people in it are funny as well. Even when you dress in a very funny and
haggard way people will complain about you. If you are very attractive,
people will still complain.
Many believe you are controversial?
I don’t believe I am controversial as
the only issue that has brought me into bad press was just of late that
my marriage to Yomi began to have issues. I have always been scandal
free and people know this and know what I stand for. I think people like
what they see and they don’t understand why someone will be shining so
much. Some might like me and just be pretending because they don’t know
how to come to me.

They probably have a problem with my
looking good. People come to my instagram page and some of them will be
painting what has never happened. People should learn not to judge from
afar.

Who is the real Bimbo Kashamu?
The real Bimbo is a prayerful person.
Forget all the glamorous side to me. Those who know me will tell you
that Bimbo is a prayer warrior. God doesn’t look at your physical being
but spiritual being. I am a very loving person and I love fashion so
much. My Dad loves Fashion, My mum loves fashion. I grew up with
families who love fashion. My mother is a fabric merchant and she has
done it for 27years.

My family has revolved around fashion. I
grew up seeing my Mum looking nice in a good cloth, shoe, and elegant.
So I look at her and see a gorgeous woman. She loves fashion and she is
very social. My sisters are like that as well. I don’t think there is
anything bad in looking so gorgeous and glamorous.

Funny enough, even when you are looking
dirty and unkempt, people will still hate you. So it is good when you do
what makes you happy. I get very happy when I look good. Lots of my
clients are happy when they see my look for the day and it brings a lots
of client to my brand. Those who have beef with me are people who
probably want to be like me. They want to be like me.

I ran for my life as I am the one who
has been receiving threat messages and calls. People will call and
threaten me that if I say anything, they will deal with me. I want to
stop being his wife, it is better for us to separate.

Don’t you think you can settle this issue amicably?
There is no way I don’t want to be Yomi
Folawiyo`s wife anymore. I have been through so much with him. I have
fought him to change his ways. I have made him see what he can achieve
with his fathers name but he doesn’t want that. Before now, there was
also a rumour that I was thrown out of the house, when I was still in
the house trying to make peace.

Virtually all women go
through a lot in marriage and they still wait in it to make it work, one
would have expected that you stay to make it work?

Lots of women all over the world are
going through domestic violence in their marriage and still stay in it
but I have to be strong for my daughters. Many suffer and because they
are scared, they keep dying in silence.

I decided to take that bold step because
I don’t want to die in silence and lose my kids. I WANT TO BE THE ONE
TO TAKE CARE OF THEM. i CANT STAND ALL THE LIES, AND FALSE ALLEGATION. I
pray that he finds that woman that will love him and be there for him.
No matter what he has done, I wish him well. I don’t want to be killed
by my husband. One can see the case of Arowolo, I don’t want something
bad to happen to me so it is better to go our separate ways.

Do you see yourself taking a shot at marriage again?
May God see me through this, I have
moved out of his house and I am trying to get over the trauma and
distress that I have gone through. I just want to settle down and take
care of my kids and my business.
