The marriage
of Nollywood actress, Doris Simeon-Ademinokan and award-winning movie director,
Daniel Ademinokan, was like a union made in heaven. In fact, they were the
poster couple of Nollywood.
That was until Stella Damasus stepped into the picture
and the marriage crashed like a pack of dominoes amid accusations of husband
snatching.
However, the
man at the centre of the storm, Daniel Da Bishop Ademinokan, has been quoted as
saying that the union broke up because Doris was married to her job and thus
imposed a boring sex life on him.
On her part,
Stella damasus has come under a lot of flak. However, today on Showdown! both
actresses go head-to-head as Nigerians determine who is the smatter, DORIS
SIMON or Stella Damascus?

Stella
Damasus
Born Stella
Damasus on April 24, 1978, Stella is a Theatre Arts graduate from the
University of Lagos (UNILAG). An actress and a singer, she has starred in over
50 movies. She was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the African
Movie Academy Awards in 2009.
Wife to
singer Jaiye Aboderin who died in 2004, Stella Damasus Aboderin made her
Nollywood debut in a movie entitled Abused in 1992. Some of her works include
Face of A Liar, Rumours, Submission, and Real Love to mention a few.
She starved
her man of sex
–Kehinde
Adewale, undergraduate
It seems as
if Daniel’s third leg was over-starved and he got infuriated and began to
unleash his weapon of mass destruction. First, it was rumoured that he was
painting everywhere in Abuja red with Tonto Dike. And Tonto’s denial only made
them look more suspicious as her publicist laboured to exonerate the actress in
an official statement that said Tonto had only met Daniel once. But I still
blame Doris for all the mess.
Daniel is
only expressing his freedom –Tom Ekenna, lecturer
There are
many lessons to be learnt from the entire drama especially for women. You don’t
starve your husband of sex unnecessarily in Africa. In this part of the world,
husbands enjoy so much freedom. And any act of carelessness on the part of a
wife would simply create a window for the man to express his freedom. That was
what Daniel did.
Living in
fool’s paradise –Stella Chima, undergraduate
If Aboderin
Stella Damasuss thinks she outsmarted Doris, then she must be living in fool’s
paradise.
Women are
unpredictable –Tina Chukwu, youth corps member
A number of
questions have been bothering me over this issue. Women are capable of doing
even the unthinkable.
Could it be that Doris secretly made all those things to
happen? Could it be that she was in love with another man secretly? Why would a
marriage that was once rated the best in Nollywood suddenly turned the
opposite?
And ultimately, why did she push on with life so easily and quickly
with a juicy movie deal in South Africa after the break up as if nothing
happened? Maybe answers to these questions would take us closer to the truth.
What God has
joined together let no man put asunder –Frank Akigwe, pastor
The Bible
speaks vehemently against any act that destroys marriages. That is why it warns
us never to put asunder any marriage that God has joined together. From the
little I know, I will agree with you that Stella appears smarter,
One is
smarter than the other –Ebere Uchendu, Banker
As for me,
Stella is smarter. In my place, there is an adage that says ‘if you do not lick
your lips during harmattan, harmattan will help you do it.’ Stella only helped
to fill the vacuum which the poor girl carelessly created.
Not smart
but careless –Kemi Somide, marriage counsellor
I wouldn’t
want to use the word smart but careless. If all that I read about the issue
were true, then, Doris was very careless. As a married woman, your husband
should be your ultimate priority.
Forget all the talk about women empowerment,
womanism and whatever name they call it. This is Africa! If you remain outside
of your home in pursuit of career and womanism, you will only return home to
find your home in the hands of another woman. So let young wives learn a lesson
from this.
Doris missed
it –Betty John, stylist
I disagree
with claims by Doris that she did everything to make her marriage work. For her
man to have complained publicly that he was tired of living a boring sex life
speaks volumes. The allegation that his wife was always away from home on movie
locations only buttresses his claims that he was sex-starved. And what defence
did Doris put up? That she was always rushing to finish her roles and return
home. I think she was married to her job and not her husband.
Doris
faltered –Evangelist Goodness Oko
Wives should
endeavour to shun jobs that are capable of distancing them from their families.
No matter how juicy, such jobs are not worth it. Many women hardly believe this
fact and that is why marriages keep crumbling while their husbands smile into
the waiting arms of other women who know the art of the game. Doris probably
faltered in that regard.
One
outsmarted the other– Adaeze Onu,
undergraduate
I want to
believe that the whole thing started long before it became public. But as they
say, ‘there is no smoke without fire.’ And that is why I blame Doris. She
failed to manage the situation properly when she suspected it and lost out. .
Doris’
excuses flimsy –Bukola Adeniyi, undergraduate
Who knows
whether Doris was not even tired of the marriage long before it broke up? When
a woman is truly in love with her husband or lover, she would always crave to
be in his arms and nothing; career or whatever, can stop her. So, I think that
something must have made Doris to suddenly start preferring movie locations to
her husband and family. Her excuse that she did everything to make the marriage
work and that the break up may be God’s will are flimsy
