Lagos State socialite, Farida Sobowale, was all remorse hours after passersby physically held her back from plunging into the Lagos lagoon.
She attributed her ill-conceived decision to the breakdown of her marriage with another Lagos socialite, Demola Okulaja.
The marriage which took place only two months ago reportedly cost N100m
Speaking in a viral voice note on social media yesterday, Farida said she felt frustrated after her husband walked out on her after only four weeks of marriage.
She recalled how “friends and family warned me not to go into the marriage.
“They told me that the man only wanted my money but I was recalcitrant,” she said.
She said she was “so sorry for putting my children in such a position,” and claimed she “would not have forgiven myself if I had abandoned them after committing suicide.”
Estranged husband: It’s all Nollywood acting
But Okulaja dismissed the suicide bid as high wire drama.
In a lengthy and disjointed post, Okulaja wrote: “I gave you my heart Phree. I was loyal to you and all I did was to stand next to you as your man and I also accepted you with all your flaws. We never had any argument and we have never called ourselves names.
“I gave you my words and assurance that I’m your man so many times but you ignored all, even when you go ahead to fight with people, I always tell you the truth but your problem is you don’t want to listen to the truth and always want to involve yourself in fights and I always beg you to consider me but you ignored all signs.
“Well, fast forward, Phree, you’re a pretender and a pathetic liar, all these things you are doing is Nollywood acting. This is season 2 and it has just started. We are going to season 20.
“Unless you come out and tell the world the truth, I never cursed at you and I never body shamed you. I called your nanny to please warn you to stop and let peace reign but you decided to go to “gistlover” and your street mom to lie on me and decided to drag my family name to mud and knowing that my mom has stroke and now she’s experiencing another symptom.
“You told me categorically that I will be electrocuted or jump into the lagoon without doing you no harm and also decided to shame another woman that as her husband because of your wayward attitude.
“Phree you need to ask God for forgiveness and go personally to beg the parties involved. I told you I got so much proof and you haven’t seen anything yet. We just started season 3, welcome to fracas.”
