“I Still Dream About Her”: Jide Kosoko Opens Up About Late Wife Henrietta

Veteran Nollywood actor Jide Kosoko, 62, has been under the radar after the passing of his wife Henrietta. The actor faced harsh criticisms from the public, and most especially from social media strategist Kemi Olunloyo. Olunloyo  alleged that Kosoko, was a ritualist because he had lost three wives. The actor has however moved on after disclosing that he received an apology from Kemi’s father.

In an interview with Punch, Jide said;

“I do not want to go to Kemi Olunloyo’s issue because the chapter is closed. I do not want to dwell much on it because when people approached me and informed me of what she was saying, I said she was entitled to her opinion. She was voicing out, what about those that would not say anything but in their mind, they would say that I have lost about three wives? They are only being human but the truth is that for Olunloyo, that is her opinion no matter how hurt I might have been with her utterances. By my nature, there was nothing I could do. But I appreciate her father who called me and apologised. He said some other things that I may not be able to share with the public. When she said all those things, I really did not reply because it is not in my nature and that time, I was mourning so her case was secondary. I am still mourning so there are very little things I want to say.”

“I miss everything about her, yes, she was human and she had her flaws but I must confess I would miss her for so many things. She was my companion because we were in the same profession. She was not only my wife but we were in the same industry together. I still dream about her but it is mostly based on my imagination. How I hope she was still alive. I would miss her food because she was a fantastic cook.”
