Olumide Akande is a cosmopolitan businessman and son of Ibadan born billionaire business mogul Chief Harry Akande. Olumide loathes attention, he loves to live a very private life but settling to marry superstar screen goddess Dakore Egbuson in 2011 further threw him into public cynosure.
Their union in 2011, held at the Guiding Light Assembly Church, Ikoyi, Lagos, attracted the who-is-who in Nigeria’s business, political and societal space. It was a star-studded event as they painted the streets of Lagos red with their lavish reception party at the highbrow KFA Event Place in Lekki.
The groom’s father displayed his wealth and influence as they spared no cost to make the wedding a memorable one. From the alluring ambience, the roll call, to the choice of food and drinks served, royalty and class was in evidence.
The duo at a point, relocated to the United States, thereby pulling Dakore off acting for a while before she surfaced after the birth of her second daughter.
They were love birds. Their love and public display of affection was a point of reference to most young lovers as they both kept their marriage off the public domain.
Last week, news broke on their alleged marriage breakup, claiming Dakore was tired of the union and wanted to quit. It will be recalled that they have faced such marriage breakup allegations in the past.
Sources said: “The rumour is not true. As couples, there is no perfect relationship. Every union has its up and down. More over, Olumide and Dakore love each other.

Despite moves to change Olumide’s choice of Dakore during early days of their romance, Olumide stood his ground standing by where he finds love and comfort.
So, the truth is there will always be issues but they are matured. They are not new in the wedding, God has blessed them with two kids, so it’s now left for them to settle their differences and keep loving each other.
The rumour about their breakup is totally false. Dakore still stays under the roof of her husband and Olumide still loves his wife.”
Away from their breakup rumour, the beautiful couple on Saturday January 11, celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. The actress took to her social media page to pour eulogies on her heartthrob and reteriated her continuous love for her man.
She also threw shades at those who wished her marriage to crash. It was gathered the duo will further celebrate in Febuary 11 Olumide’s birthday.
