My Mum was a strong woman and I learnt a lot from her – Doris Simon
In a Recent interview, the actress who recently signed movie deal in South Africa talked at length about her failed marriage.
The mother of one also spoke briefly about her ex-hubby, Daniel Ademinokan who eloped with her colleague, Stella Damasus.
Read the Interview Below:
Interviewer: Did you ever imagine that you were going to be separated someday?
Doris Simeon: No, I never thought I would be separated someday. Yes, it definitely hit me when it happened. But life goes on.
Interviewer: But a lot of people had the impression that you couldn’t be bothered and that you wanted this freedom?
Doris Simeon: No, if I wanted the freedom, I have it now; so, why am I not exploring the situation? Instead of that, I am trying to make money. I have a lot of responsibilities. So, rather than sit down and mourn all day, I have to face the reality.
My mother was a strong woman and I learnt a lot from her. She went through a lot, which I knew of from when I was a little child. In spite of all that she went through, she kept moving on. My mom had a stroke and survived it; and she still looked radiant. My mom jumped from one trade to another. When I think of that, I would be like, this woman, na you born me, I must do that thing wey you teach us. Those are the things I just look back and then I just move on. I have a child that I need to work for, so that he won’t face the kind of suffering I faced in the future.
Interviewer: Will you consider marriage again?
Doris Simeon: I don’t know, but I am not ruling it out because I am human. I might just fall head over heels in love again. But let me still be doing what I am doing. Wherever the Lord takes me, I will go.
Interviewer: What would you do differently when you find love again?
Doris Simeon: I will probably right the wrong things I did then. I mean I will do the right thing three times over.
Interviewer: What were those things?
Doris Simeon: Can I even point them out? I can’t point them out.
Interviewer: Was it that you didn’t have enough time for the family?
Doris Simeon: It wasn’t that in anyway. It is just one of those things you have to deal with. People will say one thing or the other to defend their own sides. When I’m on set, I want to quickly do whatever I am doing. This is because I see a movie script as an examination; and when you have an examination you want to quickly do it and then relax. That is the way I work. I just want to do it and know that I am done with this script, so I can face my family. So, it’s not that I get carried away with work. I just want to do the best I can at that particular time that I am doing that job and get out from that set and face my family or face whatever I need to do next.
Interviewer: At a time, you and Daniel were one of the best couples in Nollywood. What could have gone wrong?
Doris Simeon: Anything could have gone wrong. Anything could have triggered a fire anywhere. You don’t know what might happen the next minute. We are just trying to make things go right, but God has the final say. Yes, things happen in life and till eternity you keep asking that question what went wrong. But if you dwell on that, you won’t move forward because everything that happens has God’s hands in it. There is a reason why anything happens and it has been written that it will happen that way.
Interviewer: After a year, what did you do?
Doris Simeon: Funny enough, after a year, I was like, ‘Doris, how do you think you want to move on with your life? What should you do to move on? That was when I decided not to dwell on the past; otherwise, I will go hungry. People that want to laugh at me are out there, so I will rather make them say, ‘Aha Aha, what’s happening? And I am moving ahead with my life.
Interviewer: What is the relationship between the two of you now, given that you have a child for him?
Doris Simeon: We have a child, so we talk. The boy is there, so why won’t we talk? We cannot be sworn enemies forever. Not every relationship leads to marriage, yet the people involved still talk.
Interviewer: But how do you feel knowing that your colleague is supposedly married to him?
Doris Simeon: She’s a woman and he is a man. Na man I go still follow so (laughs). In this industry, most of us are colleagues; it is not that we are close friends or something. No be say na my mama born am now.
The mother of one also spoke briefly about her ex-hubby, Daniel Ademinokan who eloped with her colleague, Stella Damasus.

Sanusi’s Courage Is Scarce Says Pastor Bakare
The Serving Overseer of The Latter Rain Assembly, Lagos, and
running mate to General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) in the 2011 presidential
elections, Pastor Tunde Bakare, on Sunday said that the suspension of
Mr. Lamido Sansusi as Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria would have
negative consequences on the nation and its government.
The fiery preacher described Sanusi’s
suspension as ego-driven and destructive power game
In a prepared text, which he delivered during the Sunday service, Bakare said that the suspended CBN governor was being persecuted for exposing the rot in the oil industry.
He warned that the action of President Goodluck Jonathan in suspending Sanusi on February 22 could have negative consequences on the investing public and even government revenue
Bakare said, “The suspension of Sanusi is an ego-driven, counter-productive and destructive power game that will have very dangerous consequences for the nation and the government.
“It is important not to demystify the institutions of the country. Personalities and people will go but the institutions must remain; the institutions must remain strong to enhance the growth and peace of the society.
“You can imagine the negative consequences of this suspension on the investing public, on shares and even on government revenue”.
The cleric, whose text was with the theme, ‘Sanusi Lamido Sanusi and the Federal Government of Nigeria: Aitete m’ole, ole m’oloko’, said the suspended CBN governor became a victim because he delayed blowing the whistle about the corruption in the oil industry.
According to the cleric, ‘Aitete m’ole, ole m’oloko’ a Yoruba proverb means that “when the owner of the farm fails to apprehend the thief in time, the thief will apprehend the owner and label him the thief”.
Bakare, who is the convener of Save Nigeria Group, trailed the origin of Sanusi’s ordeal to a letter he wrote in September 2013 to President Goodluck Jonathan accusing the Nigerian National petroleum Corporation of failing to repatriate $49.8bn (about N8trn) into the Federation Account between January 2012 and July.
“In order words, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, undeniably a crusader of truth and justice, may have blown the whistle indicting the very heads of the crime economy just too late”, Bakare said.
He said, “The opportune time to blow the whistle should have been when the CBN, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the PPPRA, the NNPC and other agencies provided conflicting figures as to actual subsidy payments to the Adhoc Committee on the management of fuel subsidy”.
According to him, the NNPC had been spared of any indictment in all the three reports “from the 2011 KPMG report to the 2012 Farouk Lawan Committee Report and from the 2012 Nuhu Ribadu Committee Report to the 2013 Nigerian Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative report.
“When Save Nigeria Group raised the bar during the fuel subsidy protests and maintained that government-backed corruption fueled by NNPC was the main issue, perhaps a corroborating voice by the CBN governor would have added weight to the outcr”, Bakare said.
He, however, commended Sanusi for speaking up against corruption and urged him to take solace in the words of William Curren Bryant, who he quoted as saying, “Truth crushed to earth, shall rise again”.
Bakare added that “Make no mistake about it; few men have the courage of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
“Few men have the aristocratic dignity of a man who time and again, while in public office, raised his voice against profligacy and monetary imprudence especially among the legislators and sometimes among the executive; perhaps, no serving government official has been as outspoken against misgovernace as the suspended CBN Governor”.
