I regret getting married – Dabota Lawson

Dabota Lawson and Sunny Aku

Former Miss Nigeria UK, Dabota Lawson, has said she regrets marrying chairman/CEO, Novena Majesty Furniture Industries Limited, Prince Sunny Aku.

The duo got married in 2014 despite a 35-year age gap between them.

They were divorced two years later.

In a message posted on Instagram on Monday, the single mother confessed that the marriage was an error.

The model and cosmetics entrepreneur added that she misses being carefree.

“I mostly regret ever getting married in 2014 (please keep all that lessons and whatever you think I got from it talk) I hate the fact that I did! PERIOD!” the ex-beauty queen wrote in the long post

Dabota, however, said that the only thing she did right was making the decision to keep her baby.

This weekend I spent a lot of time thinking and talking about past events in my life . My friends kept saying Dabota everything happens for a reason and you are who you are today because of all that has happened. But I said to them and myself NO!! I’m not soooo thankful, I wish I made better decisions and was careful before getting involved with certain things and certain people . I wish I could see the future of how some of my poor decisions will stay hunting me , because they actually do 😤 Every time I win or do better it’s because I chose to and I took a right turn , not always because I’ve learned a lesson. The only thing I know is my mind and heart is just stronger, too strong for my own good, I’m almost not in touch with reality and strictly focused on pursuing goals and making sure everyone and everything around me is fine. I miss being care free and the softness and innocence I used to have. I hate the fact that I have major trust issue and assume everyone has an ulterior motive around me . I mostly regret ever getting married in 2014 ( please keep all that lessons and whatever you think I got from it talk ) I hate the fact that I did !PERIOD! The only I did right that keeps me going was making the decisions to go through with my pregnancy and have my child . My daughter is only thing I’ve done right in the world over 25 years of my life . That’s how I feel. Be careful the decisions you make in life . This is a very stern warning , everything you do has a consequence that only you will experience in way only you can understand . BE VERY CAREFUL ! HAVE A GREAT WEEK !

Born in Rivers State into a family of 10, Dabota spent her teenage years in Nigeria before leaving the country at the age of 16 to the United Kingdom to pursue a college education and a university degree in financial economics at the University of Leicester, and the London School of Business and Finance, where she studied accounting and business.

Whilst studying in the UK, she competed and won the Miss Nigeria beauty UK pageant in 2010.

After her victory, she did a lot of modelling on runway shows, high fashion events, and various modelling competitions.

She married Aku in 2014 after seven months of knowing each other.

It was reported in August 2015 that Dabota was sent out of her matrimonial home after her husband found out that she was cheating.

She dismissed the reports by posting a video of her cuddling her husband on Instagram along with the caption “Don’t let the media fool you. Fictions are necessary for the people, and the Truth becomes deadly to those who are not strong enough to contemplate it in all its brilliance. One love bebeeeesss.”

She, however, deactivated her Instagram account in February 2016 after taking down all pictures of her husband as well as those of anything that linked them together.

She was delivered of a baby girl in October 2016.
