A very big fan of Iyanya (as claimed) Bamishe Peters, has
responded to Iyanya’s statement, ‘I Regret Not Getting
Married Before Becoming Famous’ in an interview he
recently granted .
Read the letter Bamishe wrote to Iyanya below…..
Dear Iyanya,
This is a response to the interview you granted the net –
Iyanya: I Regret Not Getting Married Before Becoming
Famous.
I am one of your unknown fans right from the days of
project fame and i always wish you more success in the
music industry.
However, your statements in the above link got me
seriously thinking of what you are saying as i am not really
getting it.
… “I’m just trying to be patient and take my time and it’s
even harder now that I’m famous because it’s really hard
to find someone that truly cares for you when you are
famous”.
I admit it is not easy adding career to marriage. To some
extent also, i agree with the fact that you “may” not get
someone with the real intention.
If you had said you needed more time to enjoy
bachelorhood, it is very understandable, but saying it will
be an herculean task to get a lady that will truly care is just
an excuse to paint women with different colours.
If you think you might not find a lady who will really care
maybe in the city you are well known, you can go into the
villages where you are not known and act like nobody if
you are sure to be ready for marriage and don’t want to fall
into the hand of someone who knows who you are that
may want to feast on your fame.
You as a man is claiming you need to watch very well as
your fame could be the reason for a lady loving you. A
popular female blogger i look up to is also still single just
because she is afraid she might fall into the hand of gold
digger, this is to show you that as there are bad eggs
among women we also have rotten chickens among men.
I wouldn’t have written this if you had followed the
footstep of a don in the Nigeria music industry, a 33-year
old, who said in an interview that “It’s not like I don’t know
I am getting old but it will happen. You guys should not let
me rush into it and rush out.
“I hardly have time. I will either have to concentrate on my
family or work but hopefully next year.
That statement above shows he respects women and
marriage not just by saying it like you did but being
conspicuous through his words, no wonder he is a don.
Don’t allow your new brother in the industry to shift the
question “you want to discover mungo park?” to you
before you realize you are on your own.
I know if you want to get married today you can as you
cannot tell us you don’t have a lady you hide under when
it is cold apart from those we see you with in the news.
Don’t sound as if there are no good women out there who
can still make you more famous or add more money to
your money if you don’t want the ones from not-rich
background who your money and fame can give you power
over and someone you can also control.
I didn’t write all i wrote above because i hate you, i am one
of your best fans who want you to be greater than the
“fame” you have achieved, but i cannot just wait to hear
you say to her that day “they don’t know how much i feel
about you, i truly love you…” rather than you making us to
start imagining how long it will take you to take a woman
to the altar.
Well, we are ready to wait for you to make your choice,
don’t think we are in haste to see you marry as that is
what those statements you said in the interview portrays
