DANIEL ADEMINOKAN SPEAKS ON MARRIAGE BREAK-UP TALE WITH WIFE, DORIS SIMEON

Some weeks ago, Nigeriafilms.com brought you a reports on a break-up rumour between Nollywood actress, Doris Simeon and her husband, Daniel Ademinokan.

In the break-up tale, controversial actress, Tonto Dikeh was allegedly fingered to be the major cause of the strain in relationship between Doris and Daniel. Tonto has since dissociated herself from the rumour.

Coming from the heat the rumour has generated since the story broke, Daniel Da Bishop, as Daniel is also called, has finally opened up on his alleged marriage problem with Doris.

In an un-edited statement retrieved by Nigeriafilms.com, Daniel stated, "I want to use this medium to express my gratitude to people who have been very supportive in the course of my career.

Also, a big thank you to people who have encouraged me through thick and thin and most especially the loss of my dad.

Without you guys who go out there to see the films I make, there would be no point even making the films in the first place. God bless you.

I know that a lot has been going on in the media as regards my private life and I have seen countless accounts of events that I know absolutely nothing about. (Including prophecies that I now work with the minister of Culture and Tourism).

I want to make it clear that I have not granted any interview or discussed anything with anyone as regards issues happening to me privately. I know the challenges that come with my profession, fully understanding the fact that whatever we do is constantly under the scrutiny of the public.

However, I am also human and I am entitled to my privacy. I made it clear that people hacked into my emails, Facebook and twitter accounts to communicate with certain individuals. I have set the record straight with the parties involved.

I understand the level of love and support I have received from numerous fans and friends. At this time I just want to focus on the things that are most important to me.

Feel free to communicate with me as regards work and friendship but if it goes beyond that into the issues that i consider are private...I will not entertain it.

We know how the press works and most of them have made us understand and see their highest levels of incompetency by writing stories that link me with a colleague that I respect but do not even talk with.

Do we continue to believe the words of people who have constantly lied to us just to sell papers and make their blogs popular or do we just go about our businesses and let God sort his children out?

Once again thank you all for respecting my privacy. The best you can do is to remember me in your prayers. God bless you all and may God's Favour never cease from your household.

STILL ON DORIS SIMEON AND HUBBY

 This is the sad and unfortunate news about what probably used to be the most envied relationship in Nollywood,that is the union between popular Yoruba movie actress,Doris Simeon and her movie director husband, Daniel Ademinokan.

Tales about their troubled marriage in the last 2 weeks have become subjects of discussion among several of their colleagues and the crux of gist about them is that the couple have technically separated,as both of them now live apart.

According to findings,Daniel and Doris have been having issues with their marriage,and for several months,have been patching up and carrying on as if all was well.

Daniel,according to sources close to him,has obviously had enough of putting up with Doris.

According to findings,he had always taken care of their baby,David,while Doris because of her busy schedule,hardly has time to take care of the 2-year old boy.

Those close to Daniel also claim Doris has not really been in the good books of her in-laws.

They claim she failed to Visit Daniel’s dad when he was sick and hospitalized last year despite instructions by her husband that she should find time to visit the old man,as he (Daniel) was away from Lagos to direct a movie.

Sources revealed that Doris did not visit the dying old man in the hospital till he died,claiming her busy schedule prevented her from visiting her ailing father-in-law.

There are also strong indications that Daniel was not aware of his wife’s plans to set up a shop in Lagos where she sells household wares,which he alleged distracted Doris the more from paying attention to the home.

Aside these reasons,those close to Daniel claim he is responsible for the trouble in the marriage,as there are unconfirmed rumours that Daniel and daring Nollywood actress,Tonto Dikeh are enjoying a sizzling romance which they have succeeded in keeping away from their colleagues and the prying eyes of the media.

A source close to Doris claimed Tonto Dikeh was practically instrumental to Daniel’s initial constant trip to the federal capital,Abuja.It is believed that Tonto and Daniel met on the set,while he was directing the movie of another actress,Rukky Sanda in Abuja.

Once the 2 began seeing each other,news reached Doris in Lagos and she confronted her handsome husband with the allegations.This allegedly resulted in heated argument between the 2 of them.

Though unconfirmed,it seems that was about the last time that Daniel and Doris stayed together under the same roof.

Our source informed that the Abuja house that Daniel moved to has served as a love nest for the movie director and Tonto Dikeh for several months.

Interestingly,while the news of the troubled marriage filtered the air,Tonto has denied having any affair with Daniel and dissociated herself from the ugly story of the breakup in the marriage of the young couple,who a lot of people never imagined will go their separate ways,going by their lovey dovey lifestyle when the going was good.

Tonto has been telling whoever cares to listen that she has been busy in Owerri,Asaba and Enugu since January and declared that at no time has she been in and out of Abuja this year.

She further said that Daniel is not a friend of hers in any way,not intending any disrespect,as they have only met once on the set of her very good friend,Rukky Sanda,where she claimed she went to,to morally support Rukky.

In reaction to the story, pretty Doris Simeon debunked the rumoured crack in her marriage, insisting it was a figment of the peddlers’ imagination, a distraction and a product of idle minds.

She said : “It is all lies and baseless rumour; it is far from the truth”, she maintained.
