Cover Are there any misconceptions about your marriage that you would like to address to the world? One thing I’ll like to address is this; people tend to criticize even when they do not know you. Until you get close to someone, do not criticize or judge that person, because the person you are judging might just be a lovable and caring person. I have a unique character and I don’t need anyone to tell me that, I try as much as possible not to offend anybody. I always try to keep my head up and do my thing. Do you have future political ambitions? Yes, I vied for the deputy governor position in Edo state during the last election. This position is not by election but by selection, but my party chose someone else, and in all humility, I worked for the person that was selected but we didn’t win the election. I think I’m a kind person, and because of this nature, I need a platform whereby, I’ll be able to assist a lot of people and politics affords me this because my business funds won’t be enough. A lot of people depend on me to eat, pay their school fees, and sometimes help with medical bills and for me to be able to do more of these things, I need a platform and that’s why I’m going into politics Your wife is not a red carpet person, in fact she’s one of the most shy faces on the red carpet, but even the few times she has had to come on the red carpet, you are not always with her, why? My wife has a lot on her hands, she’s got three kids to take care of and it’s not easy. My wife cooks my meals; she never let anyone prepare my meals ever. We have two house helps but they never cook my meals. So now, the issue of the red carpets is all about priorities, which is more important; the home, or the red carpet? As regards why I’m not usually on the red carpet with her, my wife is a celebrity, I’m not. She’s busy with her celebrity thing and I’m also busy with my business. I’m a very busy person, if you know what it took to bring me here for this interview, you’ll understand. I’m busy every day, so I don’t have time for red carpets. If it’s so important that she wants us to go together or when I’m free, of course, I would go with her. There was a time that there was so much negative things about you on the media, and when you spoke, everything died a natural death, what has been the worst thing that was said about you? I’m a private person and like I said, it’s until you get close to someone that you can tell who the person is. A lot of people do not know me, neither do they know Mercy so, off course, they believe what they want to believe. For me the only judgment I will believe is God’s judgment. Whatever anybody says about me, I’m not hurt in anyway, I’ve learnt how to move on. My wife is a celebrity, I’m not… I’m a busy man, so I don’t have time for red carpets ‘ How did you feel when you were being called an irresponsible father, and that you abandoned a lady abroad with your kids? People will always talk, but the thing is, the people that know me know the truth. I am very responsible and I’m living up to it so I was not hurt. What do you miss about Mercy when she’s on set and not at home? Well, I’m also very busy so most times when she’s on set, I’m most probably not around too. However, my wife is a very lovable person; we play a lot of games together, so when she’s not around I miss those times. What is the best <strong>Valentine</strong> gift she has ever given to you, or the best <strong>Valentine</strong> you guys have spent together? The best for me was in 2014. She was in Asaba and I was in Edo, so I drove all the way to Asaba on the 13th because I wanted to be with her. We spent the whole day together before I left. A short while later, she told me she was pregnant for Henry (laughs) so I guess Henry was a <strong>Valentine</strong> conception. Does she sing to you sometimes when your mood is down? You can’t be down when you are with my wife, we are always happy together. A lot of things take our time so we try to be happy most of the time. How do you guys make up and move on when you quarrel? She lives in my room, she’s there every time, and even when she’s not, l miss her and call her to come, so we settle things there.
