Nollywood actor Afeez Owo has spoken about his 22-year marriage to his colleague and wife, Mide Martins.
In an interview on Oyinmomo TV, Afeez said he and his wife call themselves Iya Alekuleja and Baba Elere as pet names. Afeez noted that they aren’t the usual pet names, but they work for them because of the closeness they share.
The comic actor revealed that their marriage isn’t the kind where the husband has to be strict or the wife has to remain calm. He said they’ve built their marriage on balance, and God has been faithful to them.
Appreciating his wife, he thanked her for tolerating him, asserting that his wife isn’t a wicked woman, both at home and in public.
I call her Iya Alekuleja, and she calls me Baba Elere. Those aren’t the usual pet names like dear or honey, but it works for us because of the closeness we share. Our marriage isn’t the kind where the husband has to be overly strict or the wife has to remain overly calm; we’ve built it on balance, and God has been faithful to us.
22 years of marriage is no small thing. Ajoke, thank you for putting up with me. I swear to God, my wife is not a wicked woman, whether at home or in public.”
