Nollywood actress, Anita Joseph, has talked about how her marriage to hypeman, Michael Fisayo Olagunju, also known as MC Fish, has contributed to her personal growth and made her a better person.
Anita, who celebrated her fourth anniversary with her husband in a new interview said: “Marriage has influenced me in a very positive way. I have learnt to be more protective and patient.
“What matters the most is one’s heart. One’s parents or other family members won’t be in the marriage with you, so it is basically one and one’s spouse forever. So, if one chooses someone from a different tribe, it is okay. One’s happiness comes first.”
On how she has been coping with the cultural differences considering that she is Igbo and her husband is Yoruba, she said: “My mother-in-law speaks Yoruba to me and I say ‘eshe’ (thank you). I have learnt a bit, though it has not been easy.”
The actress also stated that despite the disbelief of many in her marriage because of the age gap between her and her husband, she was happy to prove them wrong.
“As regards my post on Instagram on my wedding anniversary, I wrote that some people and even blogs said that my marriage won’t last, but I ‘sent’ it back to them and their sisters. God’s grace has kept my husband and I together,” she said.
