It was double joy for Yeni Kuti, the first daughter of Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti, when she got engaged to her long time partner, Theo Lawson, during her 55 birthday celebration on May 24.
In a chat with The Entertainer, the very elated mother of one confessed she is very excited about the engagement to her man whom she has been with for almost a decade , describing it as a total shock...
Asked how she felt about the proposal, Yeni said;
I was shocked! I was very happy because I didn’t see it coming at all. In fact, the surprise party blew me out of my mind; it was a double shock for me; I thank God my shock absorbers are still working.
Asked if she’s is considering marriage following the engagement Yeni said:
Not at all. The ring my partner gave me is what they call ‘a commitment ring’. He gave me his mother’s wedding ring as a commitment to the relationship. We have been together for about nine years. When I met him, he used to wear the ring around his neck, so for me, it is a big deal.
He has entrusted me with something very close to his heart. It is not like we are going to start doing wedding and all that, even though we are really committed to each other. I call him ‘my last bus stop’. If God gives us long life and says there should be another man in my life, he is the man for me and I believe I am the woman for him as well.
When he made the proposal, we didn’t know that it was going to go viral.
*Her response is so mature.
Chei....correct woman, she is not even desperate. I like her😉
ReplyDeleteStill very pretty. Her other sister was very beautiful too. Bless her.

DeleteBut looking at this picture, I think she don "disvirgin" the hair tey tey.
Way to go. I love that kind of commitments. Be with a man and be living like a couple though you didn't marry. If one party messes up, you walk. Just like Kourt Kardashian

Tribalism will not kill you. Your eyes just happened to omit the bit about her being Fela's daughter?!
DeleteYou are definitely one of the reasons why Nigeria is so messed up
C'mon linda
DeleteIf u say u don't know the kuti's family, that mean u don't know IBB/Obj
Sideye
So sweet.
ReplyDeleteEnd time hope for Gwegz.
ReplyDeleteYou an idiot..That Gweg thingy needs to stop. ..
DeleteBeautiful yeni ,congrats
ReplyDeleteWhy not Stella, Yeni is not a Tata na, if her response is not mature at this her age when will that be? Congrats to them. No time is late in the presence of God almighty
ReplyDeleteHaaahahahaha..Funny comment.
DeleteYou are one of Nigerians who thinks "old age" automatically means Wise. Trust, age has nothing to do with maturity at all...If u are stupid..nothing can change that...not age...nothing..
Delete@Money maker...you don change name add your name
DeleteLol
@Galore
And I don't have husband yet
ReplyDeleteWow!
DeleteHow on earth did you manage to make this about you?
You have impressive skills
Worry not dear.
DeleteGod takes special care in sending spouses to his special kids. So u see? Very soon.
Why is this General's wife always boring and sentimental. How does one cope with such a woman without yawning? Yeye virtous
DeleteCongrats to them
ReplyDeleteThey might as well tie the knot...
ReplyDeleteMy exact sentiments
DeleteNice one, congrats to her and her boo.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful woman
ReplyDeleteHope all the aunty gwegwegwes in the house will learn from her, she is not desperate! Marriage is not the alpha and omega in a woman's life.
Before you cum under my comment, I'm not a gwegs
Dazzall! Start guessing my marital status by putting together all what I had written here in the past....you don't know MEEEEE.......
Choi..D'Royalty u are mouthed..hehehehe.
DeleteNobody wants to know you dear @droyalty even though you desperately seek attention. You remind me of those house hold pests that multiply like bedbugs
DeleteWait sef. Al dis gwegs talk got me pondering, at what age does gweghood start?. I really want to know abeg
DeleteTroublesome you. Lol
DeleteI so love Yeni.Very smart & fearless woman.
ReplyDeleteNa wah oh...when did we detoriate to this level as a people? She's good enough to be committed to but not good enoug to be married? And y'all lunatics are singing "she's not desperate", "she's mature"...what has desperation got to do with this? Forgive my logical & masculine thinking but I think this is absolute foolery! Being married doesn't mean you must have kids & I'm guessing at her age, it's very risky or near impossible. How do you want to commit to someone with a ring around people but no before God beats my imagination and apparently the public is singing alleluia to it. I guess her paternal celebrity status is clouding common sense coz this one makes no sense at all. We're not done with the baby mama menace, it's now cohabitating like rats in colonies.
ReplyDeleteThere are people who don't think the way you do.People who are not christians and do not read the bible.You don't share the same morals and values.Your opinion do not matter to them same as theirs don't matter to you.You were not raised the same.
DeleteCan we all just stop putting the burden of our belief,values and morality unto someone else and bear that burden alone?Isn't tolerance a virtue?
P.S-Because you can't see the chains binding you to a bed in a psychiatric ward does not mean people who don't share the same view are lunatics.
Take a deep breath, honey.
DeleteGood one, they look happy.
ReplyDeleteGood for her
ReplyDeleteBut correct every girl marry before her 30th birthday. So there is nothing wow about here.
ReplyDeleteI even thought it was her daughter she was talking about.
