Veteran Nigerian actor, Ebun Oloyede, popularly known as Olaiya Igwe, has said his greatest regret in life was disappointing gospel singer, Tope Alabi, on her wedding day.
The actor, who has featured in several movies across various platforms, revealed this in an interview he grated Ibe Television.
Olaiya Igwe said: “What hurt me most and still hurts 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.

“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 didn’t give her the car.
“I disappointed Tope Alabi.
“But she now has countless luxury cars, some of which I cannot afford.
