In this article we would be reffering to her as Olawunmi Christy Otedola or Tolani
Overview
Tolani Otedola has turned out to be quite popular after Femi Otedola bought her and two other sisters cars worth more than N300 million combined. Olawunmi Christy Otedola is a performer but has not been quite a sensation in the music industry in Nigeria even though her father is extremely famous for being wealthy.
Some people in Nigeria believe that this is because of several family matters since Tolani was born to a different mother. Her mother is Olayinka, a woman whom her father met when Femi was still selling pencils and pens at Lagos, an area in Iponri.
Her Parent’s Ill-Fated Relationship
Lady Doja, the mother of Femi and grandmother of Tolani Otedola, was not in favor of Olayinka because due to her religion but accepted Tolani. She has long since gone on separate ways with her birth mother.
This is a complicated experience, but Tolani is officially the first child of Femi Otedola. However, Femi loves her so much that he bought her a Ferrari worth millions of naira.
It is factual that rich people cry as well. The rich might probably be boasting a lot of wealth and money, but the past of Femi Otedola, a gas and oil magnate, haunts him some say. Olayinka Odukoya, the mother of Tolani, was shut away from her as she became devastated and lonesome. In an interview made by a Nigerian reporter, Olayinka says that she had a past relationship with Femi Otedola.
At that time, Olayinka was still in her secondary school and was even a working student when she and Femi had a relationship. Olayinka said that she accepted the advances of Femi, and along the way, she realized that she had fallen in love with Femi. This was when Olayinka was offered a School of Nursing admission in Ikoyi, as she was waiting to choose pre-registration questioning before realizing that she was pregnant.
With her friend’s help, she met Femi, who promised her a life filled with happiness and contentment. In fact, Femi and Oayinka both sworn to the Church that they will live with each other. Olayinka was only 21 years old at that time and had sex with Femi. That is where she got pregnant.
At first, Femi accepted that he would soon become a father and live a normal life with Olayinka. However, as days go by, Olayinka realized that Femi kept it a secret from his family. It was a man named Mr. Tobun who told his parents that Femi impregnated a young Ijebun lady. But, Femi lied to his mother that he did not impregnate any lady.
In the meantime, Olayinka is accustomed to going to the house of Femi regularly to the extent that his younger siblings had become friends with Olayinka. Femi’s mother even knew Olayinka, although she had no idea that Olayinka was the one her son impregnated. The mother of Femi only thought the Olayinka was a friend to the sisters of Femi. Hence, Olayinka took in to demand money from Femi for her upkeep and other various things. In fact, Olayinka stated that she thought of aborting the child since it was affecting her education. Fortunately, an older man overheard Olayinka while she was chatting with her friend about concerning her planned abortion, and this man was the one who told her parents about it.
Hence, her mother prevented Olayinka from contemplating abortion. Later on, Olayinka told Femi that her parents already knew about the pregnancy. Femi asked her to keep the pregnancy and never think of aborting the child ever again. However, when the parents of Femi already knew that their son impregnated her, they decided to keep the child but asked Olayinka to stay away from their family as soon as the child was born.
The reason for this is because the parents of Femi didn’t accept her religion. Since giving birth to Tolani, Olayinka never saw her child again according to confirmed reports. Olayinka said that she never had any contact with her child since the parents of Femi took the child away from her since Olawunmi Christy Otedola was more than 2 years old.
When Olawunmi Christy Otedola was already 15 years old and was attending her education in Akure, Ondo State, where Olawunmi Christy Otedola lived with her Uncle, Olayinka attempted to see her daughter. Still, the family of Femi prevented her every time she would go there.
That is the time where Olayinka decided to go to the northern region of Nigeria to settle down. Hence, Olayinka lived and worked there for the time being before returning for a couple of years. In the meantime, Olayinka already knew that Olawunmi Christy Otedola was taken abroad by Femi and his family to further her education. Olayinka even attempted to live near the Otedola’s house, but every time she went there, the mother of Femi always asks her what she really wants from Femi.
There comes the point in time wherein Olayinka was so depressed upon not seeing her daughter that she asked the help of a Reverend Father to talk to the mother of Femi. However, Femi’s mother did not change her mind and even asked Olayinka to never again send an emissary to her ever again. Almost 7 years had passed. Olayinka told her brother that she felt the need to take the issue to an appropriate government official to challenge her right to see Olawunmi Christy Otedola.
The only thing Olayinka knows about Tolani is that her daughter was now working overseas. Also, since then, Femi and Olayinka have not spoken with one another. Even during the recent birthday celebration of the father of Femi where Olayinka attended, the two never spoke as Femi seems to avoid her. Even the older brother of Femi, whom Olayinka spoke with at the celebration told her that she was still not allowed to see Olawunmi for so many years, could not believe her since the brother of Femi just recently returned to Nigeria from spending lots of years abroad.
At this time, Olayinka is not married to someone else, but she recently had a relationship that brought her Eniola, her daughter. However, Olayinka is unable to marry the father of Eniola due to the experience she suffered from the family of the father of Christy Otedola. Olayinka has been scared of men ever since that damaged relationship with Femi occurred in her life according to reports gathered.
Olayinka showed up that she only wants Femi and his family to grant her access to Olawunmi Christy Otedola and complete rights to become a mother to Olawunmi Christy Otedola.
