OJB’s 3rd Wife, Korede Okungbowa Speaks About Her Life After Husband’s Death
Korede Okungbowa, 3rd wife to late music producer and artiste, OJB Jezereel in a new interview with The Sun, opened up on life after his death amongst many other things.
She talked about how she met OJB in 2003, when she was introduced into the industry. She had worked with him on a couple of videos and then one thing led to the other. She made emphasizes on the fact that without God she would not have been able to cope.
She says:
“It wasn’t love at first sight because I met him in 2003 and we started dating around 2005. We all used to hang out around his studio in Surulere, Lagos, and he was very nice and accommodating to all of us. We met at his place whenever we had rehearsals and it was like a home to all of us.
We were going to an event together, and before we got into the car, he stopped me and asked if I would marry him. There and then he presented me with a ring, a very nice ring. Of course, I said yes. Jigga and I dated for like three years before getting married because I wanted to be sure he was the man for me. And the more we got to know each other, the more we got to fall in love with each other. If I had another chance, I will marry OJB all over again.”
“I thank God for His grace. We have been able to cope, thanks to friends and family members who have been supportive, and you know, seeing them everyday inspires me and has taught me to remain focused, because there is a bigger picture beyond crying and feeling sad every day. We thank God we have been able to pull through this one year, and by the grace of God, we will keep coming through.”
“I remember when I was still in school. In my second year, he threw me a surprise birthday party. He was so sweet. We used to be very good friends and very close, because we did most things together. I miss the times we shared together. I miss the times he came home with ice cream and pizza for the kids, and we just sat in the living room and watched movies all day. He was not the outgoing type so he loved staying indoors. We usually had fun with the kids. They miss him a lot. Every day they talk about him, most especially my son. My daughter now understands that daddy is gone forever. Anytime my son sees him on television, he starts crying. There is no day we don’t miss Jigga. God rest his soul.”
Saying that is was time to move on as she has mourned him enough but still it would be hard. She talked about what has been keeping her busy which is her OJB Foundation. Happy about the progress of the foundation, she prayed to God to strengthen her.
