I lived with Tuface For 3 years - Sumbo Adeoye Reveals

Sumbo Ajaba Adeoye, one of Tuface’s babymamas
but now happily married to a pastor , opens up
about her past and how she lived with Tuface for
3 years. In this interview she spoke out
extensively for the first time, revealing how she
went into a fake marriage to cover up for the
pregnancy she had for tuface. How the child
looked nothing like the man she married and how
she had to run out of that marriage. She later went
to live with Tuface for three years, and in the
process, she became pregnant again. Below is her
revelation to Punch Spice.
How would you describe meeting your husband?
It is so funny because he had always been my
pastor. He is someone I always went to for
mentorship, so when he came across as wanting
to be my husband, I was a bit scared. Even though
I knew I was asking God for a husband, a father,
friend and mentor, I did not know it was my pastor
that was going to fit in because nobody was
praying for his wife to die. When he made his
intentions known, I thought maybe if I stayed away
from church, he would forget about me. I realised
that whenever I stayed away from church, I would
lose my peace. I was a committed member of the
church as well as the praise team leader.

Then, I started praying and fasting. I began to ask
God if it was what He wanted for me. I knew my
past and I told God I was going to drop my tall,
dark and handsome for whatever He wanted for
me.
Many will argue that having a second baby is not
circumstantial.
That happened because we were in a relationship.
I met Tuface when I was a student of Yaba College
of Technology. I had just lost my dad and my
mum was living in America. For someone who was
a daddy’s girl, I needed love. This was the only
person that was showing me love at that time. I
feel I had that experience so that other young girls
would not make the same mistake. I was 24 when I
fell pregnant the first time.
When I got pregnant the first time, I approached
the pastor of the church I was attending then and
he brought me out before the church and judged
me. I was asked to go and bring the father of my
unborn child so we could be joined together. I
brought a different person and we got married at
the registry. Everything fell apart when I had a
child who looked nothing like him and my mum
came back from America to ask who gave my hand
out in marriage because she was not a part of it. I
had to walk out of the marriage which I arranged
by myself. I moved back home and by age 25 I was
already a single mum and a divorcee.There was so
much shame and reproach.
It got to a point in my life that I felt that the Devil
you know is better than the angel you don’t know,
so I went back to my baby daddy and his mum
talked me into living with him so he won’t have
more women and babies. We lived together for
three years and that was how the second
pregnancy happened.
It was not a bed of roses while I was there
because I was trying to put together what was not
supposed to be. I think we broke up in 2009 after I
had the second baby. There were other women
who were also going to have babies for him
around that time. I came to my senses like the
prodigal son and I was so broken. I think my baby
daddy was out of the country that fateful day when
I returned from work and I packed all my things
plus that of my children, and I went back to my
parents’ home.
How would you describe being married to your
husband?
It is a privilege that comes with a lot of glory and
responsibilities. It also comes with a lot of
glamour and commitment. It comes with its own
challenges and God has equipped us to handle
everything. This is not the Sunmbo that got
married to Pastor Adeoye three years ago. I am a
better person and I am now refined.
What are your pet names for each other?
I call him baby all the time but sometimes I call
him pastor. He calls me baby or Desunmbo.
