The father of Big Brother Naija second edition Housemate, Tboss, Engineer Vincent Idowu has remarried after separating from Tboss' mother 13 years ago. The wedding reportedly took place in Edo and the bride appears to be far younger in age. The wedding has attracted widespread media reactions with some commentators trolling the old man.
The Engineer who could not swallow the growing trolls had since taken to the social media to respond to them. He said the decision to remarry was purely his and for the purpose of putting an end to his loneliness. He disclosed that his marriage to Tboss' mother ended 13 years ago on good grounds but emphasized that his relationship with his children was not cordial as they have not met for years.
His post read in full;
"Ordinarily, I really wouldn't like to make any comment here knowing how petty and unreasonable most Nigerians are. I am neither a politician, a business mogul nor money ritualist. I am just a humble, comfortable old man. There was never a time I bragged of my wealth. And I have been a devoted and honest civil servant all my life. So, are Nigerians celebrating wealth or honesty? I am proud that I served my country faithfully and with integrity.
I never took one kobo bribe as a Civil Servant and as a lecturer I never took one Kobo for blocking. Those Nigerians jeering at my simplicity should cover their heads with shame. TBoss and her siblings have their lives and certainly without me. I never asked TBoss for one Kobo and I have never seen Wendy for over 13years though she visits Nigeria regularly in the past 10yrs from Romania.
The last time I saw Tokunbor(TBoss) was in August 2016. Their mother left me on good grounds in 2006. Even God found out that it was not proper for man ( Adam) to live alone so He created Eve to be Adam's companion. So, what's wrong in having a devoted and understanding companion as wife even at my old age?"
