Dejo Richards, ex-husband to Nollywood actress, Monalisa Chinda-Coker, has returned to the entertainment scene. The show biz entrepreneur quit the scene after his messy separation from his actress wife a few years ago. Richards was alleged to have engaged in domestic violence while his marriage to the actress lasted. After their marriage packed up in 2009, he went into oblivion and later made another attempt at the marriage institution. He fell in love with Olamide Yetunde, but the marriage also did not stand the test of time as well. For many years, no one knew his whereabouts until a few years ago when he resurfaced again.
During his years of silence, Richards engaged in ministerial training and was ordained pastor. He is now a pastor at Dominion City, Ajah where he leads his congregation weekly in God’s presence. Despite his ministerial engagements, he didn’t totally abandon showbiz. He launched Sapphire Nation, a media and entertainment company into public relations, image consultancy and music management. However, he is no longer promoting secular music but strictly gospel music. He also has a Television program, ‘Lifestyle with Dejo Richards’ which focuses on people, products, places and services. It features over 20 segments of lifestyle and entertainment contents on Rave TV and he is preparing to spread to five more TV stations. He is also planning a Lagos Lifestyle Award in collaboration with Lagos State Government.
