Love story of NURTW Koko Zaria, for first wife Oyinda and Yoruba actress, Awele


In Nollywood no one is ever dating anyone, at least, no one really agrees to dating anyone until the truth becomes too big to be kept under wraps. This is what has  happened in many Nollywood love affairs that started on tricky grounds. 

Same thing is what has happened between Delta State-born Yoruba actress, Awele Odita and NURTW (National Union of Road Transport Workers) boss, Alhaji Ganiu Ayinde Oyedepo, known as Koko Zaria, who is married to another woman, Oyinda Ajoke Oyedepo with two beautiful daughters. Like a game of ping-pong, it was never definite that there was an affair between the motor park warlord and the beautiful petite fair-complexioned actress. 

On several occasions, they even denied any intimate association, telling anyone who cared to listen, it was merely a superior-subordinate relationship, as Awele addressed Koko Zaria as her boss in many of her social media posts and never for once addressing him as a lover.  

All the while the whimper of a relationship between the two was playing on the lips of those close to them, the legal wife of Koko Zaria, Oyinda, as some sources told Potpourri, wasn’t too comfortable. It was even rumoured that she openly challenged the the actress, after which the secret affair appeared to have gone with the wind. But the lovebirds, by then, had gone too far and no trouble from the first wife was any wiser.

 In fact, it only sort of strengthened the relationship as Koko Zaria stood his ground as a man of means who is more capable of marrying more than one wife. According to sources, the first wife soon accepted the actress, Awele Odita and was one of the first person to congratulate her when she put to bed, a bouncing baby boy for the NURTW boss some days ago in the US.

 “ Congratulations to you sweetie, wow, it’s a baby boy. Welcome to the world my prince. Original Omo Olomu Aperan, the newest baby in the US”, wrote Oyinda, the first wife on her Instagram handle.

 Koko Zaria who is said to be a doting father and a lavish husband to his two daughters and first wife, reciprocated by assuring Oyinda of his never-dying love and thanked her for her understanding in a post on Instagram. “ Ajoke my first wife, my joy, my blood, my sister, big mommy, thank you for accepting everything. Thanks for your love and support” he wrote to eulogise her. 

“I know how to handle my home and nothing is wrong with my home. We are one happy family, and thanks to all my fans for the love and support, your home won’t be ruined,” he added to tell everyone, all is well. Since the actress, Awele Odita put to bed there have been mixed reactions with some accusing her of being a home wrecker but most of her colleagues have thrown their support behind her, using her picture and that of the new baby as display picture on their various social media platforms. 

Potpourri joins others in congratulating the Ibudo actress.
