That's according to E247mag. Here's how they are telling the story.
A fortnight ago when star actress, Lola Alao, got married
in far- flung Atlanta, United States of America, USA, to Adewale Yakubu Adewale
Ajibola, the couple, literally, could not contain their excitement.
Lola was positively glowing in her creamy wedding dress
while Yakubu sporting a bespoke grey suit, wore a disarming smile.
Though not an opulent wedding, they exchanged marital
vows, flaunted the marriage certificate and
the pictures that
went viral online generated mixed reactions.
There are fears too, solemn fears: Lola's new hubby is
plagued with an ugly past - a credit card scam that kept him 'inside' in a
Kuwaiti cell.
According to an
insider, this isn't the first time the 'Nigerian big boy' has been on the wrong
side of the law.
His claim to relevance and easy bait for unsuspecting
women who wanted love and affection, has been his American citizenship’s status
and his dashing looks, a reference to what in Yoruba parlance is called
Faworaja, (meaning a person who lives off his looks).
When he was arrested in Kuwait for the credit card scam,
Yakubu, was able to answer the police questions adroitly, but the authorities
were not convinced of his claim that he was innocent.
A ring of 'scammers' had some months before his arrival,
operated in the same manner and went away with their loot in the Middle East
commercial city.
Unsuspectingly, Yakubu walked into a "orange"y
trap.
While Wale Yakubu Ajibola, the Nigerian-born American
citizen served terms for one year, the
Big Sam turned the other cheek.
Lola, who is hell-bent on getting a husband, was not too
lucky last year when her hatched plot to marry another Nigerian based in Europe
was thwarted by her first husband, Dare Ogunlana, who unleashed a media attack on her. Meanwhile, Lola found a close ally in another
actress, Bukky Wright, also married to a US-based Nigerian, Wale Onitilo.
Lola and Bukky seem to be best friends in real life
because their chemistry comes through effortlessly.
Since her marriage to US-based lover and car dealer, Dare
Ogunlana, broke up, the Kogi-born actress has met a few men but she has not
been quite lucky to have one of them put a ring on it.
Bukky, we reliably gathered has been concerned and busy
setting Lola up on dates with non-famous friends and some buddies of her
current hubby. She wanted Lola to have her kind of relationship that will
guarantee American citizenship status.
When Yakubu walked in, it was a willing and desperate
Lola he met and, trust her, she quickly hung on tight. Sources disclosed that
while he was cooling his feet in the Kuwaiti authorities' cell, Lola scampered
for his release by consulting marabouts widely.
They were constantly in touch on phone and gradually
they built the affection.
On release some months ago, after serving terms in Kuwait
for one year, she sent him a ticket to come home, made few appearances at
functions that were private and they bonded before he returned to the United
States to prepare for the August
wedding.
While Lola has taken the highroad by walking down the
aisle with Yakubu, brimming with broad
smiles that she has found love and a
good match, observers of Nollywood
marriages and the rate at which it dissolves, feel Lola may have finally
found a big catch to perfect her plans for an American citizenship status.
Yakubu, E24-7 MAGAZINE'S checks revealed, has never been
married but he has three kids, including a set of twins from two women among his strings of ladies.
From his profile,
though he claimed to be an ICT expert, he is not quite buoyant financially and
his recent incarceration in Kuwait has not helped.
There is no record of an apartment in his name; the newly
married couple are guests in one of the hubby's relations' house in
Atlanta.
Prior to his ill-fated venture in Kuwait, he is said to
have been living off his relations in California before life threw terrible
storms at him and he moved to Houston.
In his bid to survive, he crossed to Atlanta where he
allegedly joined the credit scam racket popularly known as 'Track 1, Track 2'.
For Lola, it has been a tortuous and lonely journey with
her 10-year- old daughter, Omowunmi from her first marriage with Dare.
As she stepped out from the depths of despair to happily
ever after, it is not clear if Dare will not sue her for bigamy as their
marriage consummated in Nigeria has not been officially dissolved.
Lola and Yakubu are expected in Nigeria soon.
