If you missed the story of my encounter with the lovebirds -actress Omoni and Nnamdi Oboli – at a movie premiere earlier this year, ….believe me, they are so drunk in love!
So today is their 14th wedding anniversary and they have taken to IG to gush about how much they love each other, so sweet.
years don waka! We still dey carry go, nobody waka, no body go solo! 14
years of everything! Fun, laughter, love, companionship, headache,
craziness lol! My boyfriend, my lover, my everything! There’s no me
without you @nnamdioboli The
wind beneath my wings! I can soar because you let me! May God keep us
going stronger as the years go by! Love you to infinity and beyond!”
But to say that you are perfect would give you your rightful place among
wives as I reflect. Many daughters have done well but you excel them
all. Happy 14th anniversary to my dear wife who makes me daily stand
tall’
People always refer to your marriage as a successful
celebrity marriage. What is the secret of being able to hold on to your
marriage for 14 years and you remain inseparable?
For one, we don’t see our marriage as a celebrity marriage but as a
union between this home girl and her homeboy. We keep it simple when it
comes to our relationship, meaning that we don’t let other people or
issues of life complicate what God has joined together. God ordained our
marriage, so it’s Him that will also perfect it. I’ve always said that a
threefold chord is not easily broken, and that is myself, my husband
and God. That is the real secret to our marriage, being built on the
foundation of Christ. We always communicate, we don’t just talk, because
many people talk but aren’t communicating, so that many things are
being said but get totally lost in translation.
Has it always been a smooth ride – no hiccups, arguments?
I’m not exactly mother Theresa, and my husband is not angel Michael
either. We have our moments, but true love always covers a multitude of
sins. The smooth ride in our marriage is based on the quality of the
shock absorbers of the vehicle carrying our marriage, the word of God.
The road may be bumpy, but we are well able to enjoy the ride because it
is well cushioned in the word of God we trust. Arguments show our
individuality and it’s a good exercise to help get the best result, but
that’s what it is, an argument, not for us to read other meanings into a
simple disagreement. That would be manipulative, when we want to use
emotional blackmail to get the other person to bend to our will. My
husband and I don’t fall into that category.
Is there anything you don’t like about your husband?
Like I said, love covers a multitude of sins. We both have faults
that our love is bigger than, and it’s not for the world to know. It’s
called marriage, and it’s only between a man and his wife. What I can
tell you is that the things I don’t like about him pales before all the
things that I love about him. This feeling is mutual.
If you are to advise young couples, what would you tell them?
away for want of those things that only gratify you and not your spouse.
Stay committed and give room to only one other voice other your
husband’s or your wife’s, the voice of God.
