If My Husband Asks Me To Stop Acting, I Will – Dakore

Dakore Egbuson-Akande has revealed that she will stop acting if and when her husband asks her to. The actress revealed this in a recent interview with a national daily over the weekend. Though it is dependent on her husband, she insists that everything is “dependent on how he asks”.

Egbuson-Akande was speaking after reports emerged that she has taken a leave of absence from acting, because her father in-law and her husband asked her to stop.

“That was a lie. People just cook up stories from nowhere and some other people just believe them. They didn’t see me for a while and they started peddling rumours about me. I just had to take a break from acting. Something more important came along. I fell in love. I had to give more time to my relationship to make sure I nurtured it away from the public eye, as much as I could. I took an inadvertent break to focus on my relationship.

Being a career woman is great and I was lucky to have some success at it, but at the end of the day, family and having a stable, happy home is more important to me and I knew that something would have to give. At that time, it was my career that had to give in. Nobody told me to stop acting: Not my father-in-law, not my husband,” she said.

What if they did? “Of course, I will [stop acting]. And that will be my husband.
