“Happy birthday to my friend, my paddy, my ijinle pampam, my Gee, ‘D OWNER,” were the words of beautiful Nollywood thespian, Mercy Aigbe, to her hubby, Kazeem Adeoti, aka Adekaz, as he celebrated his birthday today, January 24th, 2023.
It’s no news that Mercy and her Hubby, Kazeem have been a subject of controversy since they made their marriage public.
The actress takes to the image-sharing platform, Instagram, where she eulogized him in the caption on his birthday.
She wrote: “Happy birthday to my friend, my paddy, my ijinle pampam, my Gee, ‘D OWNER ’ @kazimadeoti ? .Omo Oluabuade, Omo Elemona, Omo Ibironke, Omo Ade Oba, Omo Ayoniyan, Omo Aro Onile….Have Fun Ade mi, love ya mucho! ?❤️❤️❤️”
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that the Yoruba film mogul and entrepreneur (Kazeem) took Mercy as a second wife, as his first wife, Oluwafunsho, accused him of bringing another woman to the home she largely contributed to building.
Disclosing why he had to marry a second wife, the Nigerian movie marketer claimed his first wife, Funsho Adeoti, left him no choice “when she relocated permanently to the US”.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, Kazeem said; “I have read many things that have been written about me and my family. Many of which are fabricated lies and some directly from my first wife.”
In an already deleted Instagram post, Kazeem explained he is still very much married to two wives which his religion permits but with some conditions, and is aware his first wife (Funsho Adeoti) is upset he took another wife.
His post reads “At this point, it is necessary I put record straight. I have two wives. One lives in the US while the other lives with me in Nigeria. As a matter of fact, I just got back from America 3 days ago where I spent quality time with my family and tried to mend fences with my first wife who is obviously still angry I married a second wife.
“And talking about being a Muslim and a responsible man, I make sure none of my family in the US or Nigeria is suffering. It is laughable that some people said I have abandoned my US family.
“For the record, I ensure my US family gets 1500 dollars since 2016 monthly until recently when I reviewed it to 1000 dollars cos our daughter is now in the private university and I have been solely responsible for her school fees and upkeep.”
Kazeem also added he built the house himself but his first wife contributed with furnishing material, just like the second wife has done.
He also gave his reason for marrying a second wife, stating his first wife relocated permanently to another country.
“In as much as there is nothing bad in husband and wife building house together, in my case, we did not. I built the house by myself.
“When I was furnishing the house, she bought some furnishing materials and part of the money I have refunded. My second wife had added some furnishing to the house as well.
“It is not in my character to speak ill of people who were once friends not to talk of my first wife (who is still my wife as we speak). I will not speak ill of her for the sake of the good and bad times we shared and the good kids that God gave us.
“It is understandable that my first wife is unhappy about getting a second wife but she left me no choice when she relocated permanently to the US.
“I am a Muslim and Islam permits me to marry more than one wife as long as I take care of them and I don’t maltreat them. I can stand before God and man that as a man, I have done my best not to maltreat them. And I will not paint my first wife bad no matter what or use foul language on her and her family.”
