How did you meet your spouse?
I met my wife on Instagram. She liked my picture late at night on that beautiful day. I commented and mentioned her and then we moved into exchanging direct messages and the rest like they say is history.
Did you know from the outset that she might be your wife?
We started out as friends. I didn’t even have the intention of dating her when we started talking. I simply found her interesting. However, after being friends for some time, I realised I couldn’t live without her and really I didn’t want to live life without her in it.
For how long did you court before getting married?
We dated for four years before marriage, though for the most part it was a distant relationship. I was in Nigeria while she was in London.
When did you marry?
We got married in 2019.
In your view, what stood out about your wedding day?
It the love we received from people. We were sure to invite only people we loved and people who cared about us; I mean people who really needed to be there. The love in the air was so palpable; people cried because they were happy for us. Also MI performed his song ‘One Naira’, a song I sang while auditioning at ‘X-Factor’, the only talent show I attended.
What are your biggest marriage lessons?
Marriage is not a bed of roses. It is hard work. You have to work on making it work. Your marriage would work when you make it a priority to work on yourself not the other person.
What would be your advice to young people on marriage?
If you don’t think it’s something to be taken seriously then don’t get into it. It’s not a game. We went in with the perspective that it’s the only option. Divorce was not on the table and never will be. We don’t have a ‘plan B’, so we stick it out. We are committed to making it work. I married a good person and vice versa.
What attracted you to your wife?
My wife is pretty, she has beautiful long legs, the cutest face and some things I can’t mention in print.
