     In a recent interview with CITY PEOPLE magazine, the self-effacing, media-shy Ruth Adekola, the wife of Nollywood Yoruba movies' busiest actor, Odunlade Adekola expressed her absolute trust in her husband that he doesn't sleep around, contrary to popular opinion. This comes on the heels of the widely-held rumour that Odunlade had love affairs with busty actress, Ronke Odunsanya, aka Flakky Ididowo [apparently during the production of the award-winning movie, Emi Nire Kan] and  star actress Taiwo Aromokan, who admitted in several interviews that she and Odunlade used to be lovers, and Odunlade played a major role in her breaking into Nollywood.
    When Ruth was asked; HOW DO YOU KNOW HE DOESN'T SLEEP AROUND.
     Ruth replied; Appearance shows the manner. If he had engaged himself in such,there is no way that I will not Know. He do receive calls in my presence when he is at home and virtually all the calls he receives per day are from women, and I used to overhear the conversations. Assuming he has skeleton in his cupboard, he won't pick his calls in my presence.''
  If every Nollywood star's spouse is as trusting as Ruth, Nollywood marriages won't be breaking at an alarming rate like this.
