We actually met miraculously. We both attended the same Church and we were at a programme in the Church auditorium where we started as friends in 1995. The church is Christ Apostolic Church, Sabo Abeokuta. It was at a Night Vigil.

Before the vigil, we had been seeing each other for a very long time but that vigil was the first time of talking to each other. He was far older than me; I normally described him as a big brother to me anyway.

Initially, when he approached me that he liked me, I was unsure of him. But in the long run, God made everything possible.

I was afraid because his job entails being around women, and the woman who wants to marry actors must be patient. That was why I never wanted to give in to his proposal.

I did not feel special when he asked me out because then I was always at Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta.

And as a young girl, I met a lot of men. So, coming to me wasn’t a big deal.

When we were dating, he was a caring man. I could see in him that he was very much in love with me.
