According to an anonymous insider who claims he has lived
with Daniel and Doris Ademinokan for years, the split between the couple
was ignited by boring s*x life.
The man who simply identified himself as JMK said Doris didn’t take
her romance with Daniel seriously and her ignorance of what her ex-hubby
wanted sexually ended the relationship.
The email below was sent to Stella Dimorkus of Encomium magazine yesterday.
Read the lengthy email below;
Hello, I have stood by in the last couple of days to see this drama
about Stella Damasus and Daniel Ademinokan unfold. I have read countless
blogs, reviews and comments from all over the world and I have come to
the conclusion that people have no clue what they are talking about.
I lived with daniel and doris for over 4 years so i know the facts!
Not hear say or assumptions. I will even mention names that can be
verified.Let us not be distracted by this stunt that uncle Daniel just
pulled with the party and the gift. Let us focus on the root of this
matter. When we know the foundation, we will know how to direct our
anger and “insults”.
I lived with Daniel & Doris because my sister was close friends
with aunty Doris and at that time I needed accommodation in Lagos
because my parents were based in the south south part of Nigeria. I
lived with them when they were still on Salami Street in Mende,
Maryland, Lagos and even when they moved to their Idowu Akindele
Crescent residence in Magodo GRA, Lagos.
Daniel was a good man and the perfect husband to Doris and he made
her feel special in every way. He always spoke to her nicely and was
quick to defend her in many ways. He supported her career and was
determined to make Doris rise to the top above her colleagues. He used
to say that a lot and felt she deserved to be at the top. He would
always say, “Dem Toyin, Funke, Dayo and co no fine pass you. Dem nor act
pass you. I have to position you at the top”. He did everything in his
power to put her her there.
Daniel cannot come and boast to people, especially me that he single
handedly financed all of Doris’ films. he can’t. He was responsible for
getting the finances but it was not HIS money entirely that did films
like Onitemi and Omo iya kan. The marketer named epsalum financed these
films. I know that Daniel may have added about 10%-20% of his cash at
some point but it was almost insignificant. The only film he did with
his money for her 100% was the film ASIRI. So if he ever claims he did
those films for her….quote me or ask epsalum
Doris was a good wife in her own right. She supported her husband’s
passion to change the industry. She encouraged him into making Yoruba
films which he really didn’t want to get into. She enjoyed the fact that
out of most of her colleagues, she was the one that had a steady home
with a young and successful guy…ambitious man too. She was the minister
of finance.
That’s what Daniel used to call her in the house because he always
gave her all the money to handle. He would bring money home an hand it
all over to her because she was efficient in money management, unlike
him who was a free giver and really had no respect or regard for money!
Whether he had enough or not, he never did care so much about cash.
never!
For the 4 years that I lived with them, not for one day did I ever
hear them raise their voices at each other in arguments or quarrels. You
would see them come out of their bedroom sometimes with weird
expressions and we would all know they just fought but you would never
hear Daniel raise his voice. never!
One thing that the world never know was how much both families never
wanted them to get married. Doris’ parents didn’t like Daniel and
Daniel’s mother (in particular) never liked Doris. She was against the
relationship from the beginning. She is known to be a heavy prayer
warrior and she said God was against the marriage from scratch but
Daniel never listened to his mother.
Now, the horrible thing about Daniel is his stubbornness and hard
headed nature. He never listens to people and if he believes in
something, it would take a manifestation of the 10 plagues in Egypt to
change his mind.
He is an extremely stubborn and very determined person. Which was one
thing I hated about him. Yes he is nice, loving to his family and
friends but do not think for a minute that you can convince him easily
to change his mind when he has already formed an opinion or decided on
what he wants to do.
He went on with the marriage. His family believed that Doris trapped
him with the baby but that is a big lie. I have always disagreed with
his mother on that note: I respect the woman but Doris did not trap
Daniel with a baby. They were already living together for 3 years before
David was born. So the woman should get her facts straight. Her son (I
believe) wanted the child as much as Doris did.
I think along the line Uncle Daniel started to realize that in many
ways he and Aunty Doris were different. Much different than he had
thought. I believe Doris started to relax on several things because she
felt she had her husband and he was going nowhere. He was always very
expressive about his love, she was the opposite.
He would run around the house and want to play love games with her
but she thought that was a waste of time and energy. I personally
experienced that with them on several occasions. I guess Doris was more
concerned about how people perceived the relationship on the outside and
not how sweet it really was on the inside. She always wanted pictures
of them out there. Daniel was more concerned about making his marrige
very “Oyinbo-ish” because that’s who he has always been.
At some point I started to feel that Daniel started getting tired of
her excuses about being expressive with her feelings even in the house. I
think it suddenly dawned on him that they were from two different
worlds. Their command of English was too far apart, their ideologies
were different, approach to situations, educational background, family,
upbringing, etc. I believe she just stopped being his wife and turned
herself into a MAMA in the house. I remember him buying her all sorts of
short clothes and sexy outfits from the US. I thought they were too
daring but he didn’t mind.
The marriage meltdown goes as far back as 2009. I know that I heard
them talking in hush tones a few times about how s*x was a problem in
the marriage. I know for a fact that Daniel used to joke about it around
the house but you could see he was serious in those jokes. He was
always clowning about how he had to fill forms like an embassy to have
s*x with his wife. I know at some point it was so bad that for almost 6
months they didn’t do anything. One thing I can tell you for a fact is
that in the course of their marriage, Daniel never cheated on Doris.
This was a known fact and everyone knew how crazy he was about his wife
but really….is lack of s*x enough to ruin a marriage?
Some people Daniel confided in where his bosom friend Alex Effiong
who was there when Daniel and Doris hooked up originally. I know I
overheard Daniel and Alex talking about it in the editing studio at the
BQ in Magodo. Two other people I know for a fact that Daniel confided in
when he was in America where his friends Bukky Ebun of Nollywood View
and ‘Lamide Davies.
You can ask them because they are on Facebook. These two people will
tell you the whole story and how they tried to step in to advice. Even
Bukky came to the house in Magodo at some point when she visited
Nigeria. She came with Kaha the singer. That’s how I found out. He was
desperate to save his marriage that’s why he took drastic steps to talk
to people.
I blame Doris in some ways because she just relaxed, trusted that
everything was OK and that her marriage was going to last forever. In
marriage, you gotta keep working to make it good.
What annoyed Daniel the most was when he found out his wife had a
shop that he didn’t even know about. He found out from outsiders and
when he confronted her, she said she was trying to surprise him. That
really pissed him off! He was enraged! This was when he grabbed his son
and left! Daniel was a very, very patient man but I hate the way he did
it. He just left!
While everyone was celebrating the happy lives these people shared,
the marriage was already over!! They were just patching things up! They
kept holding on because of “What people would say”. Doris also messed up
in certain ways because she could not fight to keep her man. She was
too comfortable and never imagined that Daniel would get frustrated and
leave. Not in this lifetime. I could see it in his eyes everyday that he
was just tired of struggling to make it all work.
Look for people like Aliu Shorinmade who was his personal assistant
for 5 years. These were the people who knew Daniel very well and how he
avoided women like a plague. Let them tell you facts. Let them tell you
truths. Stella Damasus did not break up Doris Simeon’s home. That home
was scattered long before Stella came into the picture. I believe Daniel
got the attention that he craved so much at home in someone he
considered a friend and sparks flew.
When i read that Daniel moved to Abuja and was being taken care of by
a woman, I laughed because the people saying this have no idea who
Daniel is. He is so arrogant in certain ways that he would rather die of
hunger than take a dime from any woman. he is that kind of man! He will
be too embarrassed to take a dime from any woman. The dude is a
workaholic….I give that to him. Films, Fashion, Documentaries, Writing,
Photography, Music, Publishing, Visual Effects, name it! He is a master
at them all.
There is so much I know and if all these names I mentioned here deny anything…they are lying! I can open a big can of worms!
Look for Aliu and ask him to tell you about the girl Blessing that
Doris brought into their house that stayed for almost 3 years. Daniel
sent her away from the house over 4 times and Doris kept bringing her
back. Why? Nobody knows! Can never be explained! He never wanted the
girl in the house, but she kept bringing her back. We know that at some
point Daniel discovered that this girl was sexually abusing Daniel’s son
David! What did Doris do about it???
If all the parties involved think I am lying, let them confront me!
Let them deny it! Daniel cannot deny it! Doris cannot Deny it! Aliu
cannot deny it! They know the truth!! There is a girl called Sunmisola
that used to visit the house some weekends then. She was close to
Doris…find out and Ask her too!
All I can say is that Daniel and Doris deceived everyone for a long
time about how good the marriage was even when everything was bitter and
sour! So those hating on Stella are really wasting their time because
Stella damscus did nt ruin Doris’s marriage
Daniel and Doris know what scattered them that led to their divorce
in 2011. If any of them claim I’m lying, let them challenge me.
END OF EMAIL
With all of the above allegations, hopefully Doris Simeon will come open to defend herself.
The above email speaks volume about Stella Damasus’ involvement in the whole marriage problem saga.
What would have happened if Daniel Ademinokan didn’t meet Stella at
that critical moment of his life… May be he would have worked things out
with his wife.
