Actor and producer Afeez Owo has showered praises on his wife and colleague, Mide, appreciating her for tolerating him and describing her as a wonderful partner who is neither strict nor ‘wicked’ at home or in public.
Speaking in a recent interview on Oyinmomo TV, Afeez opened up about their 22-year marriage, revealing that the couple share unique and unconventional pet names.
He explained that their union thrives on balance rather than extremes of strictness or calmness, attributing their lasting relationship to God’s faithfulness and the equilibrium they have maintained over the years.
He said, ‘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’.
The couple has been married since 2003 and has two beautiful daughters together.
