Nollywood actor and producer, Afeez Owo, has spoken glowingly about his wife and colleague, Mide Martins, as the couple continues to celebrate their enduring 22-year marriage.
In a recent interview on Oyinmomo TV, Afeez debunked misconceptions about his wife’s personality, describing her as a wonderful partner who is neither strict nor ‘wicked,’ both at home and in public.
He revealed that their marriage thrives on balance and mutual understanding rather than stereotypes of dominance or calmness.
‘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,’ he said.
Speaking further, Afeez shared details about their unique bond, disclosing the unconventional pet names they call each other.
‘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,’ he added with a smile.
Reflecting on their journey together since tying the knot in 2003, Afeez expressed gratitude to Mide, publicly thanking her for her patience and love.
’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,’ he said.
