Franklin stressed the importance of father figures in the lives of young boys, explaining that the absence of such guidance had a negative impact on him during his teenage years. He disclosed that the lack of direction led him into behaviours such as alcohol use, smoking, and early involvement in relationships.

Despite those early struggles, the actor said he has since come to terms with his father’s absence and now maintains a different relationship with him.

‘Not In This Life Or The Next’ – Nkechi Blessing Rules Out Reconciliation With Ex-Husband

Published

on

Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has dismissed reports suggesting that she has rekindled her relationship with her former partner, Opeyemi Falegan.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

News reports that the actress clarified that she had only forgiven Falegan and agreed to settle their differences following years of public disagreements.

Nkechi made the clarification in a series of posts shared on her Instagram page.

In one of the posts, the actress stressed that she was not back with any of her former partners and urged the public to stop spreading claims of a possible reunion.

She explained that Falegan had been making efforts to resolve their differences since January 2026. However, she insisted that he must publicly apologise for his previous remarks before she would consider making peace with him.

According to her, Falegan eventually fulfilled her request, while she also offered him an apology.

In her statement, Nkechi wrote:

“For the very last time and for those that cares to listen, I DR. Nkechi Blessing Sunday is not back with any of my Ex’s both past, present and future ex… Let it be known 📌

“To Whom it May concern… I don tire to explain myself, like we are supposed to remain enemies for life? This man have been trying to make peace since January this year and I said to him you must go back to that same online and apologize before I hear anything. He did exactly what I asked. I also apologized to him and everybody bear their father name, nothing like coming back together, not in this life or the next life.. KALLAS!!!!!

“FORGIVENESS DOES NOT MEAN RECONCILIATION!!! I have come to understand that growth is not just about moving forward, but also about making peace with the things that once broke you. Five years ago, a lot was said, a lot happened, and emotions were displayed publicly. But five years is a long time to carry hurt, anger, or resentment.

“Today, I choose peace. I choose forgiveness. I choose to let go of everything that no longer deserves space in my heart. However, I want to make something very clear: Making peace with someone from my past does not mean I want that person back in my present.

“Forgiveness is not a relationship announcement. Being cordial does not mean rekindling old flames. And letting go of bitterness does not mean reopening doors that life has already taught me to close. Some chapters are better left closed, not because there is hatred, but because there is growth.

“I can genuinely wish someone well without wanting to share my life with them again…. So please, let’s not mistake maturity for romance or peace for a reunion….. No bad blood, no bitterness, no going backwards. Just two adults choosing peace after years of unnecessary negativity.

“I have forgiven, I have healed, and most importantly, I HAVE MOVED ON 😊🤝❤️Some people belong in your memories, not your future. And that’s perfectly okay….”
