  Hello and welcome back to the episode of Answer Lorenzi.
• 0:03
  How are you all doing if you're doing great?
• 0:05
  For today's episode, I want to talk about Double Talosin.
• 0:08
  Double Double Talosin is an ex beauty queen, a business mogul.
• 0:14
  She is a reality star. Now, the reason why Double
• 0:20
  Talosin is in the news is because she granted an interview
• 0:23
  with Judy. Let me just play that interview
• 0:27
  for you to see before I proceed to talk about it.
• 0:31
  Was married good for you? It wasn't bad, but I would say
• 0:37
  at the time I wasn't prepared for it.
• 0:41
  I wasn't. I wasn't ready to be married,
• 0:44
  not even if it was somebody my age.
• 0:46
  I wasn't ready to be in that setting and I thought I was, but
• 0:51
  I wasn't. Why did you do it?
• 0:54
  Because this man came like a knight in shining armour and,
• 0:57
  you know, he just kind of turned my whole life around, made me
• 1:01
  happy. He and was kind of giving me the
• 1:05
  Princess treatment that I thought I deserved.
• 1:07
  And he was older and more mature.
• 1:09
  And I thought to myself, instead of just playing with all these
• 1:13
  young, but it's not good for me to just settle here where, you
• 1:15
  know, I'm happy. He literally worshipped the
• 1:17
  ground that I walked on, you know, And you know, in a way it
• 1:20
  was making me feel really good about myself.
• 1:23
  I don't know if it's that we didn't even really get because
• 1:26
  he proposed to me like 2 weeks after we met.
• 1:29
  Yes. And we did all of that
• 1:31
  engagement like 3 months. And you know, before a year that
• 1:35
  it was gone. All of that could have been us
• 1:37
  courting, dating, getting to know each other.
• 1:41
  But he was very serious and his level of seriousness about us
• 1:45
  being together, getting married was convincing enough for me.
• 1:48
  Like the way this person is really wanting to settle down
• 1:52
  with me. Maybe this is even the will of
• 1:53
  God for me, you know, let me just take it, you know, let's
• 1:57
  let me try. Let me see how it goes.
• 1:58
  Right. Did the age gap exacerbate any
• 2:01
  of the issues? It wasn't a.
• 2:02
  Factor. It was.
• 2:03
  It actually was, even as a millennial, we're living with in
• 2:08
  two different worlds, the world we grew up in and the world
• 2:12
  we're living in. And we're the only generation
• 2:13
  that has actually lived in two very, very different times.
• 2:18
  So you can imagine for him what it was like.
• 2:21
  You know, I'm up in my head, I'm living my best life, but that's
• 2:24
  not what he knows life to be. And what's marriage is defined
• 2:31
  as, you know, And he he's a very traditional Ebo man.
• 2:36
  So that's it. Didn't you know?
• 2:38
  And then the media attention, he was known as a businessman now
• 2:42
  everywhere. His picture is everywhere.
• 2:43
  We did. So it was influencing a lot of
• 2:45
  things. And then you have friends,
• 2:47
  people his own age group or people that work for our guy saw
• 2:50
  you today in the news. Oh, guy saw this.
• 2:53
  Oh guy. I hope everything, you know,
• 2:54
  it's just, it was a lot for him to deal with.
• 2:57
  It was a lot for me to deal with.
• 2:59
  Yeah. But within our own space, the
• 3:03
  age thing was not a factor. Because we will just, we will
• 3:07
  talk, we will laugh, we'll play, we'll plan holidays.
• 3:11
  We'll do so many things. But the external influence, you
• 3:16
  know. Things.
• 3:16
  Yes. So something like it's not any
• 3:18
  major thing happened like there was not like there was domestic
• 3:21
  violence or cheating. Now last scene, our next beauty
• 3:27
  queen, she won Miss Nigeria Uki think in 2009 that kind of
• 3:34
  trusted her into the limelight. So she met her ex-husband,
• 3:39
  billionaire Sony Aku and according to her dictator, for
• 3:44
  two weeks, he was like I want to marry you.
• 3:47
  He treated her fine. She was flying private jets
• 3:50
  before baby girl lifestyle was a thing.
• 3:53
  Double Talosin was that girl. Before all these Instagram
• 3:58
  buddies, double Talosin was the Instagram buddy.
• 4:02
  That was why when I was watching Rich Housewives of Lagos and
• 4:07
  there's so Sofia was dinner, have a yard, have a yard, have
• 4:11
  about, have a yard. I was looking at her like, do
• 4:15
  you even know who you're talking about?
• 4:16
  This is the Buta Lawson. I mean that marriage did not
• 4:21
  work. I think it lasted for some
• 4:24
  months. The marriage ended during that
• 4:27
  marriage was pregnant or during that period they were marriage
• 4:31
  was pregnant but she left with the pregnancy.
• 4:34
  So when it came out that Deputa Lawson had given birth to a
• 4:37
  child, Linda EKG, Linda EKG ran different stories about Deputa
• 4:46
  Lawson. She said double the reason why
• 4:49
  the marriage ended was because Deputa Lawson got pregnant for
• 4:52
  somebody else that the child does not belong to billionaires.
• 4:56
  So Sonny Aku, it was such a because then Linda was Linda
• 5:04
  dominated the blogging space. Linda dominated the media.
• 5:10
  So anything coming out from her blog is taking like the Bible
• 5:15
  that Butalauddin tried to get her to pull some of the stories
• 5:18
  down. As we can see it, it all played
• 5:20
  out in the Real Housewives of Lagos where she had issues with
• 5:25
  Lara EKG because Lara was saying that's what she has to support
• 5:28
  her sister, she has to defend her sister.
• 5:30
  That voter was trying to explain to her that it affected her
• 5:33
  family, it affected her child, her child was involved, that she
• 5:38
  just wanted Linda at some point to just take down some of the
• 5:41
  stories and apologise. But Linda refused to do any of
• 5:44
  those things. So that was why she actually had
• 5:48
  issues with Linda EKG. But right now Dabuta Lawson,
• 5:53
  after the whole divorce, after the whole drama, she started
• 5:58
  Dabuta Lawson, Dabuta Cosmetics and that has been a very huge
• 6:04
  success. She is right now also a
• 6:07
  billionaire in her own right, according to the voter.
• 6:12
  You know, she she's doing well. Her daughter is is grown.
• 6:16
  Her daughter is about 10 years old now, I think.
• 6:19
  So she has done well for herself.
• 6:22
  Now, this interview has been making rounds on social media
• 6:26
  and some people are saying that the reason why he married her in
• 6:30
  two weeks was because he thought he could control her.
• 6:33
  Now mind you, this is Sony Aku was I think over 20 years older
• 6:40
  than Dabuta Lawson. So people said the reason why
• 6:45
  some of these men are marrying younger girls was because they
• 6:48
  knew they or they thought they could control them.
• 6:50
  But Dabuta Lawson, she said she couldn't stay in the marriage.
• 6:55
  Now let me play a video from a guy.
• 6:57
  According to him, in his own opinion, give the reasons why
• 7:00
  men marry women. When man hates you, the man will
• 7:04
  marry you I'm being factual here.
• 7:06
  When man knows are you weak the man will marry you.
• 7:08
  I'm being factual here. When man not if he manipulates
• 7:11
  you he will marry you. I'm being factual here.
• 7:15
  See guy he may not be marry woman would be smart.
• 7:19
  If he's smart they'll call you say you did rude or see no get
• 7:22
  respect. I'm being factual here.
• 7:25
  Once they can manipulate, they will marry you being fucked your
• 7:29
  hair because I good day has. When they go close you carry.
• 7:31
  Guess now you know. Go feed talk.
• 7:33
  When they go out go sleep on that person.
• 7:35
  I'm being fucked your hair. Once they can manipulate you,
• 7:39
  they will marry you. Once they know that you don't
• 7:43
  know you're right, they will marry.
• 7:44
  If you have sense, you will stay single.
• 7:47
  If you have sense you will stay single.
• 7:49
  I mean fuck your hair. So don't feel special if you get
• 7:53
  married. I've been fucked right for me.
• 7:57
  A lot of you have reacted to this video and I think the the
• 8:03
  major thing I took out of it because that's his opinion.
• 8:07
  But I think what I've noticed though, from people who had
• 8:11
  gotten married and for whatever reason the marriage is having
• 8:14
  issues or no longer working is because they kind of come to
• 8:19
  themselves or coming to themselves and they started
• 8:22
  seeing things that they don't like.
• 8:25
  Or let me say, start having sense some common sense.
• 8:30
  You know, certain things that the husband will tell them not
• 8:32
  to do. They will think, why are you
• 8:35
  telling me not to work? Or why are you telling me not
• 8:38
  to, to take this promotion or why are you telling me not to do
• 8:40
  this while the husband is going out doing whatever he wants to
• 8:43
  do, even when kids are not even involved.
• 8:46
  Some men want to suppress their woman.
• 8:51
  So him saying that if you have sense, you're not going to get
• 8:55
  married, I don't know. But in my opinion, I think that
• 9:01
  is very true. Because sometimes not some men
• 9:05
  cannot really handle a sensible woman.
• 9:09
  Because you're going to talk back, you're going to give your
• 9:12
  own opinion, you're going to bring your own ideas, you're
• 9:15
  going to disagree, especially if he is the type that you know
• 9:20
  doesn't have sense because a man is supposed to be the head of
• 9:24
  the home. So if you're going to marry
• 9:26
  somebody, if you have sense, and then you decide to marry
• 9:29
  somebody who maybe it's not all that some nuts are missing
• 9:35
  somewhere, and then you're trying to maybe bring your own
• 9:40
  opinion about certain things, they're going to call you
• 9:43
  disrespectful. So if you have sense, you're not
• 9:45
  going to get married. And I was also reading something
• 9:49
  that said somebody wrote on social media that women should
• 9:54
  marry before 30. If you actually want to get
• 9:57
  married, marry before you're 30 years old because at that point
• 10:02
  you're still very impressionable.
• 10:04
  You're still, you still don't know your left or your right.
• 10:06
  You're still trying to figure out what you want to do.
• 10:09
  You're still maybe even if maybe if you've graduated, you're
• 10:12
  still maybe working an entry level job.
• 10:15
  So you have not really known yourself.
• 10:18
  You've not even come into yourself.
• 10:20
  So if you're going to get married, get married before
• 10:23
  you're 30 years old. And I totally agree.
• 10:28
  But the dangers there is most people get married before 30
• 10:33
  when they're around 30, even 28. You start getting into yourself.
• 10:38
  You start realising that OK, this is, is this what life is
• 10:41
  all about? A woman made a video that and
• 10:44
  said she, she's been married and the only thing she could, you
• 10:49
  know, boast about is 6 children that she doesn't have anything.
• 10:55
  And she she's a graduate. She's a graduate, but she's
• 10:59
  sitting popping out children. Now, I don't blame men because
• 11:03
  at the end of the day, it takes 2 to tango.
• 11:05
  It takes 2 to have children. A man has to propose to you and
• 11:09
  you have to accept that proposal.
• 11:11
  If you're not willing, if you're not ready to be submissive,
• 11:14
  don't accept it. If you have sense and somebody
• 11:18
  that does not have sense is proposing to you, it is your
• 11:21
  duty to say no. Don't go and try to change
• 11:25
  somebody's son because let me tell you they don't change.
• 11:29
  They are not going to change. Instead you're you are going to
• 11:34
  look like somebody who is disrespectful, somebody who is
• 11:38
  not submissive. Now Dabuta Lawson and her
• 11:41
  ex-husband, her ex-husband marrying has a very young age
• 11:46
  thinking OK, this is a very ripe young girl like a mould.
• 11:52
  He was previously married several times anyway, so he has
• 11:55
  experienced marriage. So he was able to rush into two
• 11:58
  weeks into that relationship, he already proposed and he already
• 12:02
  planning to get married. So he wanted that fast and
• 12:06
  furious so that he could get her at that point before she start
• 12:10
  thinking, before she start reasoning.
• 12:12
  But at the end of the day, she started thinking for herself,
• 12:17
  she started reasoning and then she realised that this is not
• 12:21
  what I want. There are loads of people,
• 12:26
  whether man or woman, in situations where you know, they,
• 12:31
  they, they, they don't feel hurt, they don't feel seen, they
• 12:36
  don't feel like they, they are fulfilling their purpose, man or
• 12:40
  woman. Because some men get married and
• 12:43
  then they are saddled with the responsibility of raising a
• 12:47
  family, paying school fees, taking care of their wives
• 12:50
  because their wives are now at home taking care of the
• 12:53
  children. She cannot work because, you
• 12:55
  know, she's taking care of the kids.
• 12:58
  So at that point, certain things that he would like to do, he
• 13:02
  would not be able to do unless maybe the irresponsible ones who
• 13:07
  just abandoned their family and go ahead to do what they want to
• 13:11
  do. They don't care.
• 13:13
  So it goes both ways. All I will say is Mario, and
• 13:21
  according to people, marry before you're 30, marry before
• 13:25
  you have sense, marry before you can start reasoning if you want
• 13:29
  to get married. But even at that, marry somebody
• 13:36
  who who is kind, somebody who who believes that the both of
• 13:43
  you can grow together even if you are 30 years younger.
• 13:48
  He believes that, OK, this is this could be my child.
• 13:53
  What do I want for my daughter? That should be what you want for
• 13:57
  for that person. If you want your daughter to fly
• 14:00
  high, if you want your daughter to be successful, if you want
• 14:03
  your daughter to grow, why don't you wish that on your wife?
• 14:09
  I think if people start looking at it that way, a whole lot of
• 14:14
  things will change. A whole lot of things will
• 14:17
  change. People who treat their wife
• 14:20
  badly would never treat their daughter that way.
• 14:23
  Some of them anyway, because some people are just, are just
• 14:27
  demons, you know? So marry before 30 and like the
• 14:36
  voter who married before 30 and still run out of the marriage
• 14:40
  because you know it wasn't what she wanted, Listen, just do what
• 14:45
  you want, just to do what you want.
• 14:47
  Do what suits you. Don't overthink things.
• 14:51
  If you want to get married before 30, get married.
• 14:54
  If you want to have children before 30, have children.
• 14:57
  If the marriage doesn't work, don't beat yourself up.
• 15:00
  Life is all about different phases.
• 15:03
  Whatever phase you are in, enjoy it.
