Nollywood actress Dakore Akande in a recent interview with Sunday
Express said she will only stop acting if her husband asks her to...but even at that, it depends on how he asks.
Dakore said this while denying reports that her father in-law and her husband asked her to stop acting hence her absence from the big screen. Dakore said;
"That was a lie. People just cook up stories from nowhere and some other people will just believe them. They didn't see me for a while and they started peddling rumors about me. I just had to take a break from acting. Something more important came along. I fell in love. I had to give more time to my relationship to make sure I nurtured it away from the public eyes as much as I could. I took an inadvertent break to focus on my relationship. Being a career woman is great and I was lucky to have some success at it. But at the end of the day, family and having a stable, happy home is more important to me and I knew that something would have to give in. At that time, it was my career that had to give in. Nobody told me to stop acting. Not my father-in-law, not my husband
And if they asked her to?
"Of course I will. And that will be my husband. There will have to be a way he will go about that. Yes I will."
K. Next gist..please..@blissful_jay

ReplyDeleteNice one gal
ReplyDeleteOf cos she will. Aint nobody letting that Akande family money go over peanuts Nollywood pays. #butthatsnoneofmybusiness.
ReplyDeleteCorrect woman. Realistic woman. True woman. Always a fan of yours anytime. Your family comes first, don't join the league of embittered women who chose the screen over their homes and want others to follow suit. God bless your union again and again
ReplyDeleteAbi,oko lolori aya
ReplyDeleteThis is a woman that knows what she want
ReplyDeleteonly a woman with a rich husband can ever say those words. biko if my husband tells me to stop working he must be mad. i cant be a beggar and my kids must get the best out of life so. no i wont obey him
ReplyDeleteWHY WONT SHE STOP WORK?! ITS MORE PROFITABLE (IN HER SITUATION) & DEFINITELY MORE FULFILLING TO "SACRIFICE" FOR FAMILY! I LIKE HER FRANKNESS THOUGH. ALWAYS AN EASY DECISION FOR WOMEN WHEN "PEPPER REST". I WANT HER TO KEEP ACTING.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a good woman !! Keep being you Dakore . It pays to be real!
ReplyDeleteAny man that asks you to stop doing what you love does not love you PERIOD. If he did he would support you 120% that's all.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds dumb. Wasn't she weeks ago bragging about the support she has in child rearing? If there's no need to give up her career, why even consider it if her man asks only to power trip. Chimamanda Adichie discusses this in TEDxEuston, about how women are asked to compromise their dreams to prove their love in relationships. Check it out, Linda.
ReplyDeleteabeg make she sempe for one side after her marriage what acting has she done since NONE and she is hear opening her mouth to talk abeg make she siddon one corner make person see road pass

Yas ! Great woman.. you share my view on life. Oya awon feminist with their sagged breasts, come and start lashing out. This is why you people are old and unmarried.
ReplyDeletethis gist is stale nahhh...
ReplyDeleteYes ofcourse. She is right.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful people.
ReplyDeleteNice one from a good woman!
ReplyDeleteYeah.... Ur husband has d final say.... N we ladies must obey 4peace 2regin. N d husbands shud table d request in a none authoritative way.
ReplyDeleteDakore and dis her husband sha...
ReplyDeleteGood for her
ReplyDeleteAll I know is that she and her hubby are so cute together and they look very much happy #Nice responses
ReplyDeleteA bird @ hand is the very one oh...hold am well becos nothing dey bush...thank God she understood that family is everything...cute couple...#handsomehusbandprettywife#
ReplyDeleteI like Dakore. She obviously understands what it takes to be a WIFE. Any man in his right state of mind, who has what it takes to provide for his family, will be reluctant to order his wife to quit her career especially if her chosen career does not in any way, pose any threat to the marriage.
ReplyDeleteI WONDER WHY ALL THE GUYS HERE ARE CALLING HER CORRECT WOMAN, INTELLIGENT AND VIRTUOUS JUS COS SHE SAID SHE CAN STOP ACTING IF HER HUBBY ASKS HER TO. MTSCHEW! THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING A GOOD WIFE OR TRUE WOMAN. UNDERSTAND D SITUATION FIRST! COS IF SHE DECIDES NOT TO STOP ACTING, IT DEOSNT MAKE HER LESS CORRECT.. THE MAIN REASON WHY SHE WUD DO THAT IS COS HER HUBBY IS LOADED..THIS IS AN UPPER UPPER CLASS FAMILY. SO U GUYS HAILING HAD GO BETA WORK FOR UR MONEY NAAAW SO THAT TOMORO UR WIFEY WONT MIND GIVING UP HER CAREER. NOT WHEN UR A BROKE ASS MAN U ASK HER TO GIVE UP HER CAREER, SORRY SHE WONT!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a wise woman Dakore! I did just that and am loving my husband more daily. I get to rest and laze around for some time while he takes good care of me. Of course money is not as plenty but I am definitely loving my life now. Wish I had the sense to take a break earlier than this. Dim oma, Omalicha nwoke. There are still great men in this world! God will keep blessing you!
ReplyDeleteHaha haha see as una mumu reach. If you are married to an Akande, nollywood money is chicken change so why will she not stop when asked.
ReplyDeleteNoted.

ReplyDelete@Being a career woman is great and i was lucky to have some success at it. BUT at the end of the day, family and having a stable, happy home is MORE IMPORTANT... .. Career women take note! God Bless you Dakore.
ReplyDeleteHehehe Linda tomorrow stop blogging cos ur husband doesnt like it....lol Dakore shurrap
ReplyDeleteIts great that she loves her family and all but if acting is your true passion then no one should be able to take that away from you.
ReplyDeleteOgholi mara obi di ya ehhuw, Linda abeg learn 4rm her at least dis one beta tin
ReplyDeleteDakore is a woman to admire
ReplyDeleteAhhh. All I can see is d hotness 4rm dis young man. He is damn good looking..
ReplyDeleteY wldn't she quit with all da moneyy!!!
I will never leave me career because my hubby says so.One day he will wake up and tell you how you are useless that he cloths and feed you...even your family self. My mum must reap the fruits of her labour, I will work to take care of my immediate and extended family.
ReplyDeleteBad belly ppl, stopping her acting career cos her husband said so is not falling mugu or doesn't mean she is not passionate bout her current career, she is just saying dat her husband comforts her better dan her career. Learn to respect ur man ladies. Obviously she is talented enough to find more dan 1 way to be financially independent apart from acting.
ReplyDeleteShe stopped cos she doesn't want to loose d man. And secondly, ego di mehn.
ReplyDeleteHissssss clap for urself u will do it because u are married into billions make i try am na i go hear ekwe
ReplyDeleteLol. Keep marriage first aside why so no go stop dey act. Money dey na.
ReplyDeleteI love to see when young women set their piorities right......I just love this woman.
