Nigerian actress, dancer, television personality, and philanthropist, Anita Joseph, has said that her marriage to a hype man, Fisayo Michael Olagunju better known as MC Fish, has made her a better person.
Expressing herself in an interview with Saturday Beats, the actress, who celebrated her fourth wedding anniversary during the week, 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 beautifully attractive actress also stated that though many people did not give her marriage a chance of succeeding, she was happy to prove them wrong.
Anita said: “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.”
