Veteran Yoruba Nollywood actor Ladi Folarin has opened up about a past decision he now deeply regrets, revealing how it affected both his business and personal reflection on faith. In an interview with FeelRightNews TV, the actor recounted an experience from the time he managed a tea company, where a conflict arose between workplace expectations and an employee’s religious commitment.

"MEURER AND I WERE NEVER LEGALLY MARRIED; OUR UNION WAS MERELY AN INTRODUCTION," - OLAKUNLE CHURCHILL ADDRESSES DIVORCE RUMOURS.

Nigerian businessman Olakunle Churchill has dismissed reports claiming his relationship with actress Roseline Meurer has ended in divorce, describing the circulating story as false and misleading. In a statement shared on his official Instagram account, Churchill clarified that he and Meurer were never legally married, stressing that their union was limited to a traditional introduction ceremony—a cultural event that does not carry legal weight under Nigerian marriage law.
