DR TUNDE SOLEYE & NIKE OSINOWO SPEAK- OUR MARRIAGE IS VERY INTACT

Since last month when ex-beauty queen, Nike Osinowo launched her new fitness DVD in Lagos amidst fanfare, the rumor mill has been agog with all sort of negative stories about she and her husband, Dr. Tunde Soleye.
While some claim that Nike’s return to Nigeria, all alone, without her husband, was a sign of trouble that all was not well with her marriage, others have rumored that her husband may have fallen ill and is on admission in a London hospital. And that Nike just abandoned him and move on. So many angles have since been given to the angle. The most shocking of all being the publication of Dr Soleye’s ex-wife’s divorce claims by The Guardian Newspaper, two Saturdays back, in which she dragged Nike into it as having the cause of the collapse of her marriage.
Despite all the stories, City People can authoritatively reveal that all is well with the couple. Last Friday, Dr Soleye , an international business man and Nike spoke to City People jointly from their London base about all the rumor making the rounds, before she flew back to Lagos to continue her business.
It was an angry Nike who spoke to City People saying all that has been written about them in the magazine is not just a lie, but a “big lie”. “I have always told you for a long time that all they write about me in the newspapers is fiction. They are not true. Peolple just sit down and concort all sort of lies. What led to all these reports is because of my new business. They are jealous of the success we are recording and they thing the way to embarrass me is to publish all sorts. The whole rumor is meant to soil my business so that people won’t buy into it, but that is not working because the acceptance is overwhelming. I can tell you my marriage is intact. My husband and I are happy together. My husband is also not sick. He is in good health. Because of my business, I will be shuttling between Lagos and London a lot this year. This year 2010 is my year. My fitness DVD hit the market last month. Then comes my perfumes which I will soon launch, then my hair range of products will come in Easter. So you can see that I am going to be very busy. So, the negative stories are meant to attack my person”
Dr Soleye also reacted to the stories. “I am used to it”, he says. “I am hale and hearty. I am working on a big project here in Europe and I would come back once I am through with it.
The reason I didn’t come with Nike to Nigeria is because what she is doing is solely her own show. It is a Nike Osinowo Incorporated Company not with Tunde Soleye. We both agreed to do it that way. So I don’t have to be there. I am her background supporter. She is my wife. She is also a big brand that does not need me to survive. All the negative stories are been fuelled by my ex-wife and her friends. It is just to try and soil Nike’s name. I am very well and not ill. I have been doing a lot of traveling around Europe. I am in London but I travel round. I have a big project I am overseeing. Once I am through, I will come back to Nigeria”, he explained.
