busterblog - “We Were Never Married!” – Wunmi Ajiboye Breaks Silence and Shatters Public Assumptions About Segun Ogungbe

In a revealing and emotionally charged interview that is now making waves across the entertainment industry, popular Nollywood actress Omowunmi Ajiboye has finally laid bare the truth behind her relationship with fellow actor and filmmaker Segun Ogungbe, shattering years of assumptions and rumors that had defined public perception. With clarity and conviction, Ajiboye stated unequivocally that despite having children together, she and Ogungbe were never married — not traditionally, legally, or in any form that involved family introductions or engagement rites.


Speaking in a sit-down session with Oyinmomo TV, the actress, known for her stellar roles in Yoruba Nollywood, looked visibly emotional yet resolute as she addressed the swirling speculation that has followed her name like a shadow. “Let me set the record straight,” she began. “Segun Ogungbe and I were never married. Not even engaged. He never met my family.”


The statement, which has since gone viral on social media, sent shockwaves through the Nollywood community and beyond, where for years, fans, bloggers, and even some industry insiders believed the pair were a couple in every sense of the word. Their public appearances, chemistry on screen, and shared children only served to deepen the widely held assumption of a formal union. But Wunmi, as she’s fondly called, insists that those assumptions were far from the truth.


The timing of the revelation is significant, coming on the heels of a recent party that stirred further controversy online. Rumors had swirled that MC Oluomo, the well-known Lagos socialite, funded the event. Wunmi firmly debunked that claim, clarifying, “The party that people are dragging me for was not sponsored by MC Oluomo. I paid for everything myself.”


Adding fuel to the speculation was Segun Ogungbe’s presence at the event and his interaction with their children. Critics quickly jumped to conclusions, accusing Wunmi of reducing the actor to a “babysitter” while she allegedly basked in the limelight. But the actress dismissed these comments as ill-informed and mean-spirited. “Segun came as a guest to the party and his kids went to play with him. Will he chase his kids away?” she asked, clearly exasperated. “We were already having issues then, but nobody knew.”


Her voice, though calm, carried the weight of pain as she pleaded with Nigerians and fans of both actors to stop vilifying her. The mother of two seemed particularly hurt by the relentless character assassination she has faced on social media. “To my fans, I beg you, please take it easy with me,” she said. “I’m not a bad person, and I didn’t destroy Segun Ogungbe’s life. When I was in his life, things were good. And now that I’m not, his life is still going well. So please, let me live and enjoy my life.”


The heartfelt plea resonated with many viewers and supporters who feel Wunmi has long been unfairly judged in a public court driven more by assumptions than facts. With a trembling voice but steady gaze, she sent out prayers to those who have trolled, mocked, or condemned her, hoping they would find peace in their own homes. “I pray your own homes won’t be destroyed. I pray your kids are raised in love and not by strangers. I pray you don’t suffer sudden loss. Just leave me alone, please,” she added, her words steeped in both grace and fatigue.


This candid interview has reignited conversations around how female celebrities are often dragged through the mud in public discourse, especially in matters of relationships and motherhood. Many are calling it a “moment of truth” not just for Omowunmi Ajiboye but for a broader conversation about privacy, assumptions, and the expectations placed on women in the limelight.


Though Segun Ogungbe has yet to respond officially to the revelations made in the interview, the silence from his camp has only heightened interest in his side of the story. For now, though, it is Wunmi’s voice that rings loudest — a woman no longer willing to be defined by half-truths and social media speculation.


The internet, meanwhile, is ablaze with reactions. Some fans expressed shock, others support, and a few still harbor skepticism, questioning how a relationship that seemed so public could have been so misunderstood. But one thing is clear: Omowunmi Ajiboye has taken control of her narrative, choosing truth over silence, even if it means confronting years of misjudgment and harsh criticism.


In an era where celebrities often hide behind PR statements or allow false stories to fester, Wunmi’s decision to speak up is being lauded by many as a bold move toward reclaiming dignity and dispelling myths. The video, now widely circulated across platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and YouTube, has sparked tens of thousands of shares, views, and comments — most of which reflect a new respect for her honesty and vulnerability.


From being labeled a homewrecker to being accused of manipulation and opportunism, Wunmi has weathered a storm of criticism over the years. But if her words on Oyinmomo TV are anything to go by, she is determined to turn a page. Her statement is not just a rebuttal — it is a declaration of independence.


Whether the public chooses to accept it or continue clinging to their own narratives remains to be seen. But for now, the actress stands firm in her truth: “I was never married to Segun Ogungbe. He doesn’t know my family. We just have kids.”


And with that, a new chapter begins — one where her voice leads the story, not the rumors.
