Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimakhu has revealed that suppressing her opinions in submission to her husband, Adeniyi Johnson is one of the means she has had to apply in order to stay happily married.
In an interview with Tribune, when asked about the changes she has had to embrace since getting married, Toyin, who is also the Vice President of Actors Guild of Nigeria, the Onilara actress said:
‘He is my small god; I have to listen to him because I want to have a happy home. All my older siblings are happily married; everybody in my family is happily married. My eldest sibling is like 50 years old and is still happily married, so mine can’t be a different story.
My parents are still happily married; my father is 74 years old, my mother is 72, so who will I turn to with a broken home? I am submissive to him, because he is my husband. So if he is doing his responsibility, then I have to do mine too as a wife. A lot of people don’t know what a hubby and wife relationship means and that is why we have a lot of broken homes.
Confirming reports that her husband barred her from Blackberry Messenger, the actress said:
‘I am off BBM because he doesn’t like it and I am fine with it. Moreover, that is the only thing many people know, there are lot of things I had to give up because he doesn’t like it.’
Toyin and her husband got married at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry in Lagos on Monday, July 8, 2013 in the presence of a few friends and family members.
