Nollywood actor, producer, and director Funke Akindele has disclosed the reason why she accepted to marry her husband JJC Skillz despite rumours.
In an
interview with Today’s Woman Magazine, the mother of twins disclosed that when
the rumors started flood up about her husband, she had to think deep and
analyze the situation, and prayed to God before going in for the marriage.
“There were
rumors on set that he was being bossy. People were saying that he has three
baby mamas. They now started this, ‘Funke settles for less’ talk. I read
comments like ‘three children? Baggage or why can’t she just settle with
someone single?’ So, I decided to give myself the pep talk.”
“I stood in
front of the mirror and told myself, you are 39. Which of your mate is a single
guy, or which one older than you is single, except he’s a widower or a divorcee
at 40? If he’s not married, ogun aye n ba ja (he is battling with terrestrial
wars).”
“Abdul – is
he bossy? No. you’re together with him always. Abdul is forgiving and that is
great! Someone has dealt with Abdul, he has forgiven the person, and he has
moved on. He even invited the person on a project, can you imagine?”
“I can be
very vindictive, I will give my everything but once you mess up, to correct it
is a problem for me, and I’m like for this man to be like this, he’s a good
man. His kids are grown, and their mothers are all married, happily married, in
their homes!”
“I put it in
before God that if it is in thy will for me to marry Abdul, let it work, but if
there will be problems, let everyone go in peace. That’s what I told God, it’s
you and I leave it to you.”
