Popular Nigeria Comedian and Television presenter, Ayodeji Richard Makun has announced separation from his wife, Mabel after about 16 years of marriage.
Speculations of a rift in their marriage have recently made it to the public space.
AY as he is fondly called confirmed their separation in a post on his Instagram handle on Sunday.
The message reads:
“Yes! Without compromising my family, I have found myself doing some things that I am not proud of today. It is one thing to watch my friendship/ marriage of 20 years slip off my hands, but it’s another thing for the parties involved to understand how to appropriate the blame in a space that is designed for most women to always play the victims and win.
“Many people believe that staying silent simply means that one is incapable of dealing with issues. Projecting a negative narrative against someone who is not struggling to defend himself doesn’t mean he is weak. Some of us are just logical enough to understand the difference between opinions, values, beliefs, and facts.
”The personality and ability that I possess simply confirm that I have reached that stage in my life where I can not be entertaining the public with deep personal family issues. They just might be too much to handle concerning the individuals involved. Not even when I have a grown-up daughter who has access to social media. Her mental health needs to be protected from seeing things she can not be proud of online.
“I can tell you for free that no one is completely INNOCENT enough to cast stones.
“Presently, I love the way that lies about me in all these blogs are travelling faster than the truth. But my painful truth will eventually beat away all the lies.”
The pair got married in November 2008 and they have two children.
