Another notable fact about the father-of-four and a graduate of Agriculture, is that he is happily married to an industry practitioner and their marriage has stood the test of time.

Adducing the reason for his marital success, Mr. Prolific as he is popularly known, in a chat with PUNCH disclosed:

“Marriages in the entertainment industry rarely work. But our relationship has been able to thrive because we understand each other. We understand that in the entertainment business, one has to be patient and learn a lot.

We have to communicate well, otherwise it wouldn’t work. The ladies in the entertainment business believe they are the bosses; and if a woman is trying to be the boss of a man in a marriage, it wouldn’t work.”

The actor also noted that working with his wife had been a blessing. He stated:

“It has been great and fantastic. She is a producer and costumier, and she understands the business. She has been in the industry for years. For you to succeed in entertainment, you have to understand the business side of it and inject a lot of creativity into it.

Whatever one does, one has to be prayerful, creative and believe in what one is doing. The belief in what I do and what I want to achieve has been my driving force all these years. I also have a wife who believes in what I do; so, she is part of my success story.”
