Veteran Nollywood actor Olaiya Igwe has disclosed his greatest regret during a recent interview with Baba Ibe TV.
He shared that letting down gospel singer Tope Alabi on her wedding day still weighs on his mind.
The incident took place several years ago, shortly after Igwe had bought a luxury car following the success of his film Ololade Mr Money.
Tope Alabi and her husband, Soji, had requested to borrow the car for their wedding, and Igwe had originally agreed.
However, he later went back on his word, citing concerns about the car’s safety following a recent robbery incident.
Igwe admitted that his actions hurt and disappointed Tope Alabi, and although he sought forgiveness, he still feels guilty about what happened.
Olaiya commented on how Tope Alabi has since acquired several luxury cars, while he himself has not been able to afford such possessions.
He said: “What hurt me most and still hurting me is what I did to my younger sister, singer Tope Alabi. She informed me about her wedding, and I just bought a car ‘V boot’ at that time. It was when I did ‘Ololade Mr Money’ movie and before I collected the plate number, I had already inscribed Ololade Mr Money 1 on the car.
“So, I went to Ibadan in Oyo State to show one of my films, and my car was stolen from me by robbers but it was later recovered the following day after the news has circulated on radio stations and other platforms. When I returned from Ibadan, Tope Alabi came to my house in Abeokuta and said big brother please we want to use your car for our wedding and I said no problem.
“But after she left, I had a second thought that what if armed robbers snatched the car from them. I stopped picking her calls a day before the wedding. I didn’t give her the car. I disappointed Tope Alabi. But she now has countless luxury cars, some of which I cannot afford. So, up till today I’m still in pain that I offended Tope Alabi. I once sought her forgiveness during one of our professional meetings in Ogun State. My greatest regret is disappointing Tope Alabi”.
