"My parents accepting my husband was a big issue. The issue was more than he is a Yoruba man snf to crown it all, a musician. It took a while for them to accept him, hey also saw that he was a Muslim who could marry more than one wife and being a FUji artist will make him do the worst."

"They also believed then that even as he is eductaed, this will not change anything about him. My parents lived in Onitsha and they have all their businesses therr. I prayed and after much contemplation they accepted. Then when they prayed, I would say 'Father, if this is love that I and Wale are feeling, let this thing last and let people know that we made the right choices"

She went on further to complement her husband of more than 2 decades, saying he gives her joy, confidence and peace "Truth be told, I know that my husband loves me so much"
