Actress’ Foluke Daramola’s husband, Kayode Salako in a recent interview disclosed that he consulted 65 pastors before he married the actress. Read excerpts below: On being skeptical when he wanted to marry a divorcee since he was also divorced at that time? “I did not fancy Nigerian actresses. When I met Foluke, she never proved to me that she was the stereotypical actress. She is a very good cook, washes my underwear, she is homely and not outgoing. In fact, I now prod her to go out. She prefers to be at home with her husband and the children. She is very reasonable, mentally upright, focus and ambitious. She is godly and she can recite 25 psalms in the Bible off hand. She is not money conscious, fun to be with and till date, we still live as friends. We have many things in common. We are activists, we both believe in fighting for our rights.” Any reaction from his family? I wasn’t expecting to marry a perfect woman. I have decided to be her father, her boss, her friend, and a teacher
