Nadia Marries - It’s Not Dede Ayew

The News-one newspaper has not known peace after last Wednesday’s publication that rumours making the rounds in entertainment circles indicated that Nadia Buari, a movie-goddess of immaculate beauty, is in a love relationship with Ghanaian international footballer Andre Dede Ayew.

Soon after the story hit the newsstands, News-one offices was inundated with several calls from persons who claimed they were very close to the Buari family and were very disturbed about the story. The callers accused the paper of deliberately putting out what they described as negative stories about Nadia so as to tarnish her reputation and prevent her from getting a husband.

Though Nadia has refused to speak, to News-One, both before and after the story, sources say the actress has denied ever dating any other footballer aside Michael Essien and categorically stated that she had never ever been in a relationship with Andre Dede Ayew, a footballer who is about seven years older than.

News-One has also gathered from family friends that Nadia is betrothed to a well-known Ghanaian currently domiciled in the U.S. Both the Buari family and that of this well known Ghanaian currently domiciled in the US are said to have had several meetings and agreed on a wedding date slated for the end of this year.“This is Ghana and when such stories are going about you, it becomes a problem because you may have people misinterpreting the reports and then calling the man to tell him all sorts of things, especially when he does not stay in Ghana. “I can’t tell you his name for now but he is a very well-known man; someone almost every child on the street knows and has heard the name before, “one of the family source noted.

She said it was not true that the man about to marry Nadia was in the showbiz industry. “the other time too you said she had a daughter and that Essien had taken her car so she was driving her father’s car and so on…..Nadia does not have a daughter, we have been with her since she was born in Takoradi and she has never given birth before. Nadia does not really need a car or a house from Essien because she has several cars and lives in her own house she bought at East Legon; she has two houses,” the family source added.

Interestingly, Nadia did not still pick her phone when NEWS-ONE called yesterday to speak to her. A text message sent to her phone was also not replied. However in an earlier interview with NEWS-ONE on plans on her marriage some months ago, Nadia explained that though her fans would want to know what went on with her life, the media should be cautious and respect he privacy, saying she considers matters concerning her relationship private.

“I feel that part of me is very personal, very private so it should stay that way. What I am bringing to the public is the movies. It is what I am doing, my career is my job. That is what we should be talking about. I don’t like to talk about my private life out there. “I am extremely quite because I am a very shy person. You will never know me until you get close to me and you will know the kind of person I am,” she noted.

NEWS-ONE can also report that Nadia, daughter of Ghana’s music icon, Alhaji Sidiku Buari, has released an ultra modern luxurious SUV Lexus RX 350 believed to have cost about US$100,000. She is also reported to have customized the registration number of the number plate of the vehicle to suit the initials of her name. The registration number, ‘NDB-210’, is believed to stand for Nadia Sidiku Buari.

The vehicle gives Nadia a heavy ‘swag’, especially, when rumours were rife that she did not have a car. Nadia in recent times, had been wearing a sparkling ring on the ring finger of her left hand at a number of official programmes though she decided to keep the issues of her supposed marriage under wraps.
