- The widow of veteran actor Mufutau Sanni Abdulahi, better known as Ajigijaga, shared her heart-wrenching ordeal with her husband’s family on “Talk To B” with Biola Bayo.
- She recounted being sent out from her matrimonial home on her husband’s burial day and the challenges she faces as a single mother.
The widow of veteran actor Mufutau Sanni Abdulahi, known as Ajigijaga, shared her heartbreaking experience with his husband’s family in an interview with Biola Bayo on the show, “Talk To B”.
She recounted being expelled from her matrimonial home on the day of her husband’s burial.
She further revealed how her husband shaped her choices, made her abandon her musical career, and withdraw from the Celestial church.
According to her, she was driven from her marital home because her in-laws couldn’t provide for her and her children.
She questioned the practice that denied a widow her rights when her father-in-law is alive.
Struggling to make ends meet, she revealed she resorted to street hawking to provide for her children, a hustle her late husband wouldn’t have allowed her to do.
In her words:
“I stopped medication because of my husband, is it someone that hasn’t eaten that would be doing hair? I stopped my musical career because of my husband. I was the one who converted my parents to Celestial church, but I dropped that religion because of my husband, Ajigijaga.
Those people who were hailing my husband are ready to use me and my children as slaves now.
The day he died, his family pursued me away from our house, saying they couldn’t take care of me and the kids. I didn’t take a dime from the house even clothes, it was just me and my kids.
Where in Yoruba land do you hear a woman who is legally married performing her widow’s nite at her parents’ home when her husband’s father is still alive. Sometimes I think about what to do
Now that he is dead, I am now a hawker, this was something he never allowed me to do when he was alive. I have to hawk so I can feed my children.
No one wanted to help me because they didn’t want people to misunderstand them and claim they were sleeping with her.
I am doing everything to make my children, parents, and everyone around me happy but where is my happiness”.
