How I disappointed Tope Alabi, husband on wedding day – Actor Olaiya Igwe
Veteran Nollywood actor, Olaiya Igwe has narrated how he disappointed popular gospel singer, Tope Alabi and her husband, Soji on their wedding day.
Regretting his decision, Igwe revealed that the couple had approached him to use his luxury car at that time for their wedding but he failed them.
The actor said he had just purchased the car after the release of his popular movie ‘Ololade Mr Money’.
He said on the day of their wedding, he ignored their calls despite the initial agreement.
Explaining that he still feels guilty despite apologising to the couple, Igwe said, “What hurt me most and still hurting me is what I did to my younger sister, singer Tope Alabi. She informed me about her wedding, and I just bought a car ‘V boot’ at that time. It was when I did ‘Olalade Mr Money’ movie and before I collected the plate number, I had already inscribed Ololade Mr Money 1 on the car.
“So, I went to Ibadan in Oyo State to show one of my films, and my car was stolen from me by robbers but it was later recovered the following day after the news has circulated on radio stations and other platforms. When I returned from Ibadan, Tope Alabi came to my house in Abeokuta and said big brother please we want to use your car for our wedding and I said no problem.
“But after she left, I had a second thought that what if armed robbers snatched the car from them. I stopped picking her calls a day before the wedding. I didn’t give her the car. I disappointed Tope Alabi. But she now has countless luxury cars, some of which I cannot afford. So, up till today I’m still in pain that I offended Tope Alabi. I once sought her forgiveness during one of our professional meetings in Ogun State. My greatest regret is disappointing Tope Alabi”.
