Martins, who passed on in 2002, is also the mother of popular actress, Mide, who is married to her colleague, Afeez Owo.
During the week, it was alleged that Mide and Peters had abandoned Damilare, who is now 19 years old but, in a video the juju musician, who was recently ordained a Bishop of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, stated that he was in talks with Damilare and his guardian, Baba Deji. He, however, did not acknowledge whether he was the father of the boy in question or not.
Peters said, “I would like to thank all Nigerians in the Diaspora. I will be turning 64, so I should know the right thing to do. On the issue of Oluwadamilare, from the beginning, there were a lot of controversies, but as an elderly person, I don’t want to discuss that. I have put it behind me. My concern now is how we are going to take good care of Damilare. In the past, I had sent my driver to Abeokuta Ogun State) several times but they did not allow my driver to see him. When Damilare’s guardian, Baba Deji, called me, I was not in the country. I told him I would call him when I got back. In the process of waiting for me, this story came out.”
Peters also urged his fans and other Nigerians who had initiated plans to crowd-fund for the boy to put a stop to it. He added, “I heard there are plans to raise money for Damilare. I don’t want people to use the poor boy to siphon money. He is not a beggar and I do not want people to make him one. From now, I want to take charge of him. I would be fully responsible for him. Me, Damilare, Baba Deji, and the senior Martins have been speaking on phone. We have fixed a meeting in hopes that everything would be fine. I am a Godly person and I have trained so many children and they are doing very fine, financially.
“I love children and I’m passionate about them. I once sang a song about the essence of children. Now that Damilare knows where to reach me, he can come to me as a father and discuss his problems with me. We can have a proper father and son relationship. Even if he is interested in the entertainment industry, he has to have good education”

*I love his Mature response.
Mature response after they dragged him!
ReplyDeleteWhen i was in secondary school back then,his twins ere admitted to my school. But it was only the mum that was coming to visit them. Rumour had it then,that she was on of his many wives. The guy has history of abounding his shildren in his voice.
DeleteWhich mature response 🥴? Mtcheeeew.
DeleteSo he needed to be dragged before caring for his own son. No compassion in his statement at all.
Nonsense
Which response is mature, is it the one up or another one?
DeleteVery useless man, he has several other kids out there by these old Yoryba Bollywood actresses (I wouldn't mention their names).
His interview here has just exposed his foolishness, insincerity and incompetence as a father.
SPERM DONOR
Stupid man, Funmi Martin's died after having this boy and this shamesless man did not take care of that innocent child.
DeleteMide should have aleast helped her bro if Shins Peters has lost his sensesvand denied responsibility.
I remember when Mide started acting, she could not act but was helped by Nollywood because of her mum's death 🥴 and they had to add Martin's to her name so people could know she was Funmi Martin's daughter. So what about all the wealth she keeps displaying on social media while her brother is suffering.
Useless people
Hmmmmm, there are lot of undertones in his response, I even heard he's requesting for a DNA, but if truly he was the one that sponsored mide and her siblings, why did he refused the one he sired? About mide abandoning the boy, well I don't have much to say to that ,cos mide get her own responsibilities too ,and as a woman she can't do all except the hubby agrees
ReplyDeleteHe did not sponsor Mide. He is not Mide's dad.
DeleteHe did not sponsor Mide. He is not Mide's dad. SSP's affair with Funmi Martins produced Dare. But through all his waka back then, den no born am to take anyone home.
DeleteNa wah some people will read and just add their own to the narrative,@ treasures where did you read here that shina peters sponsored Mide? Stella what is mature about this his response that you like?
DeleteI saw the boy and even me questioned his ***** ,Shina Peters should have done a DNA a long time when this boy was still a baby,that is what you do when you are not sure if a child belongs to you,besides that,he could have still helped to train the boy afterall he was sleeping with his mother before she died,If I remember well,I believe Funmi Martins died giving birth to this boy,but shina peters abandoned him and that's his usual trait,If the public didn't come for him now e for no do nothing,yèyè man oshii always running from responsibilities but they can use their wandering dick to bring innocent children to the world to suffer.Now to Mide Martins,I do understand that Mide was really young herself when their mother died,but for some years now she too has been on her own feet,married,working and living the good life,why didn't she bring her younger sibling home to look after,Mide that boy is your son,you should have become his mother now that your mother is gone and no more,that is what any responsible sister will do,he is your blood Mide,from your mother's womb oo,yet you abandoned him too.I luv Mide so much but I'm so disappointed in her.
Anonymous 13:39, God bless you. Well said
Delete19yrs ago i doubt DNA was available or easily accesible in Nigeria; till now its still not done in every Lab and its expensive.
DeleteThe kids hes sure are his has he taken responsibility of them. Rubbish man
Anon 13:39, God bless you. If the father abandoned the son, the blood sister should have taken over the responsibility...
DeleteI watched the video, and he mentioned sponsoring mide and her brother.
DeleteThere's a rumor that mode was rivaling her mother cos of shina peters, some even claimed she get hand for her mama death, that that was the reason she married afeez ,who was funmi martins driver ,so as to cover her secret
ReplyDeleteAaaaaaaaah, end time rumour!
DeleteI don't understand what you said.
DeleteHaba! Mide that was barely a teenager when her mum passed, hmmmn.
DeleteSound response. I hope they do good by the poor 19yr old boy, he is too young to be abandoned already
ReplyDeleteGood start
ReplyDeleteWhen they are in their peak time, they think sperm is WATER.
ReplyDeleteThank God for old age, a stage that brings about positive reflection.
All glory to God
Exactly!
DeleteI hope all this our new-age musicians can learn from this,many are already towing this path. Problems await you all in old age; u will be solving one child drama after the other,hatred btw ur kids and worst of all d money may not be there again.
DeleteAnd for the females who open legs for dese musicians pls dont kill us with complaints when dese men are no longer taking care of the kids,remember dey only reign for certain period.
Bishop wey sabi born
ReplyDeleteSome men may have children somewhere which their wives may not know about.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm Don't trust Wondering 'things'
Stella, I really don't see any maturity in his response. If the boy is his, that is out rightly his responsibility, which he has obviously been neglecting hence it made the news. If the he isn't his, but as a promise he made to the boy's mother, Martins, before she passed, then he should have kept his promise and not allowed this make news. Now it has made news, all he is doing is damage control.
ReplyDelete11:45, GBAM!!
DeleteMature response!
ReplyDelete“Now that Damilare know where to reach me” meaning before you were unreachable? Shina Peter has been known for not taking care of his children. Clara chukwura single handedly raised clarion without this man’s help. Stella forget this interview, it took GLB to make him remember he has another son. He also got toyin’s late mum pregnant. I pity the woman having children for all this type of men because they don’t care.
ReplyDelete12:02, Yep!

ReplyDeleteThank goodness for the internet.
ReplyDeleteDear sir, better late than never.
Clarion suffered a lot taking cara of Clarence. Wondering dick. Take care of your kids.
ReplyDeleteMode disappointed me big time because I was thinking she was the one taking responsibility of her bro as her 1st child,why neglect ur mother's child, ur mother passed on due to de shame of been rejected with pregnancy at her age, the wondering penis man too wont let every beautiful woman be always deceiving them with sammy wont agree to him marrying someone else after impregnating them,funmi Martins death was a pain to me den. All the same mide take up ur responsibility.
ReplyDeleteHow y'all conveniently chant mide take up your responsibility.
DeleteMy dear,it should be shina take up your responsibility, isn't he the father of the child? He is a man and you conveniently let him slide because he abandoned some other kids, then the boy sister automatically becomes father and mother.
Agreed siblings are to help each other, but the problem here is this baba wondering dick...
It is shina Peter's ways to abandon a child if he hasn't gotten money a case study of clarence Peters too, very irresponsible man. The man get plenty children he didn't accept oooo.
ReplyDeleteWhy is everyone chanting matured response? Are you kiddig me? That's his freaking son.
ReplyDeleteThere's no maturity in his response. He's an irresponsible man...
DeleteHis response is pregnant 😏
ReplyDeleteWhen exactly will wahala end in Nigeria ?
ReplyDeleteI can see myself deleting all Nigeria news blog....
What kind of response is this?
ReplyDeleteThis man and his seeds everywhere
ReplyDeleteThis village ram..hmmm. I wonder how many more Damilare are in the bushes hiding.
ReplyDeleteAnd that vest he is wearing in the pic with mermaid tail and eye, one wonders.
