The maxim that once beaten, twice shy, seems to be holding water for Nigerian top female drummer, Ara, who says in a recent interview that she is scared of men after her much publicized marriage to socialite Nurudeen Olalekan Saliu in 2009 ended in acrimonious circumstances in 2011 because of what she called deceit, dishonesty and untruthfulness on his part. She told Encomium Magazine; “I didn’t really know that he was legally married to two other women. One of them called me and sent me her marriage certificate. We called each other and agreed to annul it where we got married.” Now, Nigeria’s first female talking drummer says she has found a new man but that she is scared of going into another marriage because of her past experience. “I have someone I have a strong feeling for but I guess my fear of commitment has kept me from going further. I am going through counseling now, but I am afraid to live with a man again. I want to love again, I want to have more children but my fear is still there. I want to get married but I am being careful. I want to love again, share and care but I have to be careful.”
