Bolanle Ninalowo, a Nollywood actor, declares his divorce from his wife

The marriage between Nollywood star Bolanle Ninalowo and his wife Bunmi has officially ended.

In an Instagram post on Friday, he announced the news.

He encouraged Nigerians to respect their privacy as they announced their decision to move forward with an irreconcilable marriage dissolution.

I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that a path has come to an end, Ninalowo wrote. Sadly, this is the case, but there is yet hope for a better and more fruitful future! It’s a sad truth for my gorgeous and devoted kids, but it’s essential for a happy and loving future.

“A horrible fact that, for the good of everyone, I prayed, nursed, and toiled endlessly to avoid. Now that my kids are much older and have a better grasp of my grief and challenges with them, I have to accept the terrible reality that they are no longer my children.

“A dismal fact that shouts that I won’t live or be around forever and that I need to take care of my health & mental state for the welfare of all.

“May God be with me, provide me the rewards I genuinely deserve, or, if necessary, punish me for all I have done wrong. We shall all have to deal with the effects of our decisions in the long run. It’s sad, but it’s true! For the benefit of the same kids I battled so hard to never be apart from, I now had to do and be better.

“The experience up to this point has further strengthened me as I accept what I genuinely require and deserve for all of my unceasing hard work and efforts in life. As I share this sad but genuine news with the same world that appreciates my beautiful family and I, I stand tall, heartbroken but not yet crushed.

“My wife and I have made the decision to part ways and are moving towards a divorce since our differences are irreparable.

Please respect our privacy and offer prayers for us as we go through this process of healing and moving on with our independent lives while taking care of what we love most—our children! Godspeed to everyone.
