Olayiwola Aminat Omowunmi, the spouse of actor and producer Ibrahim Yekini, widely recognized as Itele, has disclosed insights regarding their marriage and her response to critics.
In a conversation with Bimpe Akintunde on her talk show Iriri Mi, Aminat shared that her relationship with Itele has spanned nearly a decade, beginning when he was still navigating the challenges of his acting career.
Aminat commended Itele’s profound reverence for God, which she believes anchors him and deters him from engaging in dishonest actions. She noted that whenever Itele contemplates making a poor decision, the thought of divine retribution prompts him to reconsider.
Additionally, Aminat addressed the difficulties she encountered during the initial stages of their relationship, particularly due to Itele’s frequent travels for film shoots.
Over time, she adapted to this lifestyle and even expressed a desire for him to travel more often.
She also commented on the attention Itele garners from female admirers, stating that she chooses to overlook it in order to maintain his peace of mind.
Aminat reminisced about how her friends would tease her regarding Itele’s old vehicle during the early days of their courtship, especially since she was considered a popular figure during her university years.
She acknowledged that the initial phase of their relationship posed challenges, particularly due to his frequent travels. However, over time, she adapted to this aspect of their life and now finds herself wishing he would travel even more.
“It’s been almost 10 years since we have been together. It is by the grace of God, I keep my husband from being deceitful. Ibrahim is the kind of person who has a fear of God. So he doesn’t get involved in scamming girls.
“When I met Itele, things weren’t rosy for him. Even with that, I stood by his side because I love him, and though I always said I wouldn’t marry a celebrity, I saw his attitude and behavior and saw he has a fear of God. If he wants to do something and remembers God would be angry with him for doing such, he would put a stop to it.
“When we first started dating, it was difficult for me with his constant travelling for movie locations, and we would fight over it, but with time, I got used to it. I just wish he would leave.
“To give him peace of mind, I overlook his relationship with some of his female fans.“I was very pompous in school, and my friends would laugh at me because of the car he was always using to pick me up, but I didn’t bother because I knew where I was going to”.
