Why my marriage crashed- Femi Kuti

Son of late Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Femi Kuti on Sunday opened up to Sunday Sun about his crashed marriage to Funke, his ex-wife and mother of his first child, Made. At the moment the Afrobeat King is in Paris, France where he is due to perform at the biggest African music festival in Europe.

Does it mean you and Funke may come back as husband and wife?
I doubt it. But you never know. You never know what God has in plan for you. What if you say never and something just happens? If they told me she would leave my house one day, I would have said it is impossible. So, if she comes back one day, you never know what can happen. One sickness can hook you down and she might be the person by your bedside, what would happen? I don’t pray for it but you never know what God has in plan for you. So, I am not the one that tempts fate. Right now, I am content, I am happy, we are friendly and my children are also happy.

I regret killing my husband- 14 year-old Wasila Umaru


Days after killing her husband and 3 others by adding rat poison to their meal during a small wedding gathering,  14 year- old child bride, Wasila Umaru, has said she regret her action that caused the death of her husband and others. The incident  occurred at Ungwar Yansoro village in Gaya LGA near the city of Kano. 
In an interview with a Vanguard reporter Wasila said;

“Mine was a classical example of youthful exuberance; it dawned on me shortly after that it was a joke taken too far to resolve a forced marriage question. I have never enjoyed the opportunity of going to Islamic school or acquiring Western education. My father forced me into this mess by stubbornly forcing me into a relationship I was not prepared to live in"
"Though my target was my late husband, I must confess that my blood went cold when I realized I had committed mass murder”.
