MOJI OLAIYA WALKED OUT OF HER MARRIAGE

Moji Olaiya, daughter of highlife great and icon Dr. Victor Olaiya, said she’’ dream all my life to get married and stay with my husband and bring my children up in the fear of the Lord. But along the line, things didn’t work out.’’ And she added ‘’If things are not really working out, I think the best thing for you to do is to quit and leave everything in the hands of God.''’’
‘’I don’t think it was my fault. I didn’t have any fault in the marriage. However, I will not blame the other party’’

 She went further to say’’ I don’t think I will get married and say that I don’t want to stay in my husband’s house. It is only a senseless person that will do that. I am in my late 30’s. Why would I, at this age, not want to be in a husband’s house? It’ll get to a time that you will need a man. But when you get the man and things are not working the way you planned and you know you still I am an evangelist. I am a strong Christian. I preach on TV. So what am I teaching the younger ones? Am I telling them that marriage is not good? No. So I feel pained that this is happening. It is good to be married. It is good to have a crown over your head, somebody that can control you and you bear his name. It is painful; I know I am a role model to so many people. I know some people’s impression about me will be affected. But I know best and I know why it happened. I am sure that God will not even be angry with me that I made the decision at that time.’’

‘’I am sure I have not made the wrong decision. I would only tell my fans that I didn’t enjoy doing this but they just have to support me and pray along with me. I am an advocate of a peaceful marriage. Women should be married. I am not speaking for anybody but my colleagues whose marriages broke up know why they left their marriages. I did what I did because it was the best thing I could do.’’

Moji added that ‘’I didn’t say marriage is out of the way now. Now that I got married and it didn’t work out, I have to be careful the next time. I have to choose well so as to avoid the first mistake. I am just taking my time. And in fact, God might even tell me to go back to my first marriage, He can also tell me to move on. So let us just leave it for God to handle.’’
 
Moji who is a very good friend of Fathia Balogub said she couldn’t have left her  marriage because Fathias didn’t work out and that it  is wrong for anybody to think that way. She knows what happened in her case, I know what happened in my own case. She added that the decision to separate was in consultation with her immediate family.
