The amazing singer who was featured in Genevieve
Magazine alongside IK Osakioduwa and Richard Mofe-
Damijo.
We got some really insightful tips from him in his
interview.
Read below:
On what love is: Love is to know someone to a great
extent and to be patient enough with his or her
imperfections. Saying I love you is to know you for who
you are, flaws and all.
On deciding to get married: Marriage is one of the
biggest decisions you will ever make. I knew she would
be my wife when in the course of the relationship I saw
attributes I liked. She would stop me halfway through
my pessimism and tell me to dream big. She came with
a painter and changed the interior of my house because
she hated the way my house looked and I would think to
myself wetin this ajebo dey talk? She gave me fashion
advice and she was my fondest aproko partner. I knew I
would spend forever with her.
On his wife: [Busola is] Industrious. She hates being
idle. She loves family, infact you cannot come into her
family space. She also likes to be in the know; she
wants to know my projects and is always willing to
contribute. She also likes to travel. I could never marry
a woman that is not going anywhere and is unwilling to
learn new things. I believe there are many ways to skin
a cat; there is never just one way of doing something. I
also cannot marry a woman who cannot manage
money. If you cannot manage your money, how will you
manage our money?
On if his wife was making more money than him: I do
not have a problem with marrying a woman richer than
me as long as she gives me my respect and listens to
me. There is nothing a man loves more than the
respect he gets from his wife. Women love attention
but men love to be respected. You can be the boss lady
in the office but when you get home, you should care
for and respect your husband.
On why men cheat: They are just distracted. A certain
pastor gave me a very wonderful illustration. She poured
water from an old glass into a new glass and gave me
to drink, after that she poured water from the new
glass into the old glass and she gave me to drink then
she asked me if the water tasted different. She said
that is how women are. It’s the same woman in
different packages. There will always be a better,
classier and more beautiful woman but that shouldn’t
distract men.
On being patient and loving in a marriage: My wife woke
up one morning and said she wants be a photographer
and attend the New York film Academy. If you don’t
want problems in your life, when your wife comes up
with a spontaneous idea, just agree. Women are very
interesting. I think every woman has her own wahala.
You might be talking about something totally different
and they bring up something from the past that you had
apologised for. I’m forced to think they do it when there
is so much peace and they feel the need to spice things
up. It’s a very funny thing indeed. If you marry for love,
love will be your driving force but if you marry for
money or beauty whatever was the attraction is what
you’ll need to sustain it. Let love and compatibility be
the driving force for marriage because if you marry for
beauty, Wetin face north today go face south tomorrow
unless you buy a clip to help her hang it.
On wedding expenses: Don’t pressure your self to do a
wedding that society expects of you; printing a wedding
invitation that looks like a visa. In life you are your own
competition. Whether you have money or not, it doesn’t
get easier after marriage. Budget and plan according to
what you have. No one will come to check your suit to
see how much you spent on it.
Make sure to pick up a copy of the magazine to read
other lovely articles!
