In other news, Nigerian actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli and her husband Nnamdi Oboli opened up about their marriage.

In a recent episode of Pulse Fun Facts, they shared their experiences since getting married on October 28, 2000, discussing the challenges they encountered and the keys to their enduring relationship.

When her husband asked her if she had thought about leaving their marriage, she said: “Have you ever had any ‘I am done’ moment in our relationship and how did you handle it?”

To which Omoni Oboli replied, “No, I’ve never.”

She acknowledged that there were times when she wondered if marrying young was the right choice.

“I’ve had moments where I was like ‘why did I get married so early?’ but never ‘I’m done’. Ever,” she clarified.

The couple reflected on their early marriage, recalling their frequent arguments. Omoni Oboli pointed out that their misunderstandings were due to not dating prior to their wedding.

“When we first got married, we quarreled every single day. We quarreled a lot. We quarreled so much.

“It’s because we didn’t date. That’s what people don’t realise. We didn’t date. So, that first month, we were really just getting to know each other well,” she explained.

Nnamdi Oboli shared advice with young couples, highlighting how crucial it is to take responsibility in a marriage.

“Marriage is a responsibility. You don’t go into a marriage expecting it to happen to you. You are not the third party in your marriage. You are the relationship. It’s between two people; you have to make it work,” he advised.
