– Jide Kosoko, Veteran Nollywood Actor In an interview with Hetty’s Media, renowned Nollywood actor Jide Kosoko shed light on the unusual circumstances that led to his house being transformed into a hotel following the passing of his wife. “My wife was the one who handled everything,” Kosoko explained. “She took care of the house, the children, and the finances.” After his wife’s sudden demise, Kosoko found himself overwhelmed by the responsibilities of running the household. Desperate for assistance, he turned to his friends and colleagues for help. “They suggested that I rent out some rooms in my house to generate income,” Kosoko said. “At first, I hesitated, but I eventually agreed because I needed the money.” To his surprise, the decision proved to be a success. The rooms were quickly occupied by tenants, providing Kosoko with a steady stream of income. As word spread, more people expressed interest in renting space in his home. “Before I knew it, my house had turned into a small hotel,” Kosoko said with a laugh. “People would come and go, and I would charge them rent.” The arrangement not only solved Kosoko’s financial woes but also provided him with companionship in his time of grief. “Having people around helped me feel less lonely,” he said. “We would talk, share stories, and support each other.” Over time, the hotel aspect of Kosoko’s home became a permanent fixture. It not only provides him with a source of income but has also transformed into a community hub. “I’m grateful for the way things turned out,” Kosoko said. “My wife may be gone, but her legacy lives on through the hotel. It’s a place where people can come to find shelter, comfort, and a sense of belonging.”Prince Jide Kosoko, a veteran actor, has revealed how his abode transformed into a lodging establishment following the passing of his wife, Henrietta.

He shared that he had numerous girlfriends, and his acquaintances would often bring their female companions to his residence, giving the impression of a hotel. Kosoko emphasized that this occurred after the demise of his spouse. In an interview with Punch, he stated that as a human being, he was deeply saddened when people accused him of using his wives for financial rituals. He believes that God is currently dealing with Kemi Olunloyo and others who attempted to tarnish his reputation. “I’ve been blackmailed on numerous occasions, but I’ve overcome it. They have previously labeled me as a ‘ritualist,’ which implies I am a murderer,” he said. “Initially, it bothered me as a person, but my skin is too thick for that nonsense. Rather than feeling down, I will get down on my knees and beg God to pass judgment. And I always witness these individuals receiving their comeuppance. I prefer not to mention names. I am unaware of the situation with Kemi Olunloyo, and I do not follow her on social media. Aside from her, there have been others who have slandered my reputation in the past.” “Becoming a polygamist was not my intention. My upbringing did not prepare me to be a polygamist. Even though my father was a polygamist, he did not marry as many women as I did.” “My first wife, Sola’s mother, was employed by the Nigerian Customs Service. She was not involved in my industry, and I would be away for up to two months. As a result, I was tempted to take a second wife. However, unfortunately for me, under circumstances I cannot explain to this day, I lost two wives within a year. Imagine that! So I decided not to remarry, even though I had girlfriends; I was a ladies’ man.” “Two of my friends were very close to the house, and my friends also came with their girlfriends. So we were almost turning the house into a brothel. Later, my doctor, a lady, visited me and advised me to remarry.” “She claimed it was in my best interests and insisted that I was too young to live without a woman. I lost my two wives in 1992 and 1993, respectively, and I was not yet forty.” “I agreed to take a long-term wife, but I had two women who were intimate with me: Henrietta and Alhaja Bimbo. Since I couldn’t say no to either of them, I married two women again.”
