Bode Oyedepo, the socialite popularly known as Bode De-Way was the
quintessential big boy some years back as he bestrode the Lagos social
scene like a colossus.
His place on the social ladder was amplified by
highflying Fuji musicians like K-1 De Ultimate,Obesere,Malaika,Sir
Shina Peters and co.
They dedicated tracks upon tracks for him in their
various albums, eulogising the American returnee’s deep pocket and
social prowess. His wife, Bolaji alias Mama Kofoshi (no nonsense
woman) was equally popular and together, they made an ideally social
couple. They were popular within Lagos and beyond.
Apart from being popular, they had money and spent it like Confetti.
The big story is that the politician has parted ways with his wife of
many years, Mama Kofoshi and this is authoritative. This is because of
irreconcilable differences. At the height of their popularity, loads of
actors are always seen in their home because they often make use of
their luxury houses in film making.
Those who are close to them explain
that their Ikeja GRA home is a haven of wealth and luxury as the
bedrooms through the living room interior is made up in Italian
designer, Versace,and Gucci respectively and also the kitchen interior.
The garage also could pass for a car lot as it was filled with different
wonder-on-wheels. These and many more could best describe the
magnificent castle of the Deways.
De-Way thereafter decided to go completely off the radar and
distance himself from social circles where he was a golden fish and a
force to reckon with. For a long time, nothing was heard about the
former colourful socialite. This is because De-Way, at a time, eyed a
senatorial seat in his native Oro in Kwara but was unsuccessful at it.
This was after he had reportedly spent several millions of his money. In
fact, some people said he relocated to his home town where he has a
sprawling country home. News currently have it that De-Way and his wife
have gone their separate ways for some years now.Their well-celebrated
marriage, sources say, has run its full course.
Those who know allege that Bolaji decided to walk out of the marriage
due to irreconcilable differences well beyond her control. However, in
the course of the separation, Deway was said to have found solace in a
young 30 year old babe from Ede in Osun state, a lady he met and fell in
love with during the course of his political pursuit in Oro in Kwara
State. The lady whose father played an active role in Deway’s political
career is one of the political godfathers of Kwara politics..
Deway and his new found love had within a phase of 4 years bore 3
Kids together,and together with his new love,they shuttle his Canada,
Lagos and Oro home town, a development which may have finally sealed any
hope of reconciliation with his estranged wife, Mama Kofoshi.
City People gathered that Deway’s siblings are so happy with this
development in their brother’s life as they are said to have waged war
against his former wife, Mama Kofoshi allegedly due to her coldness
towards them. .Bolaji better known as Mama Kofoshi has reportedly
reverted to her real names on her facebook page and her husband’s
pictures and anything relating to him and their marriage has been
deleted.
