Nigerian comedienne Oluwadamilola Adekoya popularly known as Princess, was a guest on TVC on Thursday morning January 7 where she spoke about her marriage to movie actor/producer, Jeremiah Adeshola, which lasted only two weeks.
Princess and Adeshola held a quiet wedding at the Federal Marriage Registry in Ikoyi, Lagos, on May 8, 2013. This was followed by a lavish ceremony held at Balmoral Events Centre, Oregun, Lagos. Two weeks after their wedding, their marriage packed up.
While on the show, Princess said she blames herself for the failure of the marriage because it shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
“I take the blame for the failure because it shouldn’t have happened. I was stupid, plain and simple”
Princess implied that she went into the union blindly. “You know I am a romantic. Love is not enough. A counsellor said to us it is better to have a broken engagement than to have a broken marriage. Automatically I said we have given out IVs.. How are we going to do that?
When it happened, the first thought that came to my head was that we should have just cancelled since that was my birthday” she said.
Princess appealed to anyone going through turbulent times to summon up the courage and bounce back. She said she stayed down for so long after her marriage crashed and it was especially hard for her because she also lost a baby in the process. She said she was so sad that she even prayed for an accident to happen that will claim her life. She appealed to people going through pain to summon all the courage they can and move on with life.
