A popular actress, Anita Joseph, has said that her marriage to a hype man, Michael Fisayo, aka MC Fish, has made her a better person.
Speaking in an interview with our correspondent, Joseph, 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,” reports Saturday PUNCH.
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 curvaceous actress also stated that though many people did not give her marriage a chance of succeeding, she was happy to prove them wrong.
She 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.”
