about him and what has changed..Sh
told Encomium
On her marriage being a year old?
It is like closing your eyes and opening
them, that's how it feels clocking one. We
woke up one morning and realized that it
is a year already. It is really unbelievable.
We have been through a lot. If you are
married, you will understand the first
year is the most difficult time in marriage.
We have had our own fair share, but we
somehow pulled it together. That is why
we are still here.
The greatest thing about being married
Having a constant friend, 24/7. You
always have someone to talk to, you are
never out of conversation. I hope we
never get out of conversation. You always
have someone with you walking through
the earth. You have the assurance that
you are not alone but there is someone
you pray with, play with and hold on to
What actually happened? It seems you
deceived people that you were not getting
married to your husband again and before
we knew it, you were married to him?
We have passed that now. We are two
people trying to find our way around life.
Sometimes you are happy, sometimes
you are not. I think it was because I was
a public figure that was why it went far
like that. A lot of people go through it,
they break up to make up. Boyfriend and
girlfriend break up and still come
together. Husband and wife fight. There
was no deceit. We are now together, we
have been together for a year.
What do you cherish most about him?
We are different. He is the calm one, he is
a bit quiet. If anyone wants to take
advantage of anyone of us, there is always
that voice of reasoning that will calm
things down and when I feel he is keeping
too quiet, I voice out. It is a mix. I think
that is exactly how God fashion things.
What has changed about you since you got
married?
I don't think anything has changed,
nothing has changed. I don't think I really
have to answer that question, people that
know me should do so.
When are you starting a family?
When God says it is time.
