Popular Nollywood actor and producer
Afeez Owo is married to actress Mide Martins,and they just celebrated their
15th wedding anniversary.
In a new chat with Sunday Scoop, the
celebrated thesepian opened up on the factors that almost affected his marriage
sometime ago.
Recall that sometime in 2016, his
wife claimed on social media that her husband had abandoned her and the kids.
Afeez Owo wo didn’t try to run away
from the crisis that once rocked his marriage. But, according to him, his wife
took the wrong advice from friends who wanted to cause havoc in their home.
The film-maker said:
“There will always be challenges in a home but
it depends on how you handle them. Friends nearly ruined our marriage; my wife
was wrongly advised. As we speak, she still regrets all those things she did or
said. Couples will always fight, but they don’t need to let their neighbours
know about it. We’ve made our mistakes and we have learnt from it. We don’t
pray for that anymore.”
Despite being a Muslim, Owo said he
would never marry more than one wife as he didn’t want trouble for himself:
“My father did not try to marry many
wives because he was a peaceful person and I take after him in that regard.
Though the Quran permits us to marry more than a wife, I am not interested in
it. It will bring more problems for me and I don’t want it,” he stated.
On how he met his actress wife, he
said:
“God just said she would be my wife.
When my ex-girlfriend cheated on me then, she was one of the people who begged
on her behalf but I had already made up my mind. It was after a while I started
dating Mide. We have been married for 17 years. I have known my wife for 25
years. My wife is like my mother and I love her so much. She also sees me as
her father.
