When asked how they both meet and if it was love at first sight? He said,

Bunmi is my treasure from God. Only God can bless a man with such a jewel. I saw her in a mall 19 years ago and it’s been never to let go ever since despite our shortcomings. You can say I recognised a blessing at first sight.

You flaunt your wife a lot on social media; what do you like most about her?

Everything; except that she can be stubborn at times (Laughs).

Be her father, brother and confidant all day and every day. We have grown inseparable and are a unit where we almost can’t function without each other.

What are you proudest of as a couple?

Our resilience and tenacity to always fight to overcome together. We have become such a formidable force over the years, having been through so much and to have overcome all with the grace and love of God.

How have you kept the romance and fun in your marriage?

By doing the most together. We work out together, we strive to look our best for each other, and Bunmi doesn’t hesitate to keep looking extremely beautiful day after day. We try to keep the fire burning by re-enacting our past pleasures. Sometimes, we like being spontaneous and simply go with the flow.

When asked what the best part of being married to Bunmi is, he said 

Knowing I am blessed with mine; never having to question her commitment to loving, praying and supporting me always.
