"Why I divorced my wife" - Funky Mallam

Comic actor, Saheed Abubakar a.k.a Funky mallam has finally opened up on his failed marriage. Funky had a nasty divorce back in 2012 and he reveals the series of events that led to it.

Speaking to e-punch, he said;

I was married for three years before the divorce and I think maybe we were not compatible. We have a son who is presently with my grand mum because of my busy schedules. I am looking forward to re-marrying very soon because I still believe in the instituition of marriage.

 I think I have found love with someone else and we are looking to see how things will go on so we don’t make the same costly mistake. I think my acting career may have been partly responsible for the collapse of my marriage because my wife is very sensitive of my every movement and got so involved in my job.

She understood the nature of my job yet it got to the extent that she got loose and couldn’t control her emotions. I never wronged or cheated on her, but she got so suspicious that even if I was close to my phone while it rang and she was fifty-metres away, she would rush to pick my call.

She met me as an actor but I was surprised the day she told me she didn’t know what I really do for a living and it was a big shocker to me. My new lover totally understands my job and she says it is a man’s world.”
