Actress Anita Joseph recently marked her fourth anniversary with hype man Michael Fisayo, also known as MC Fish, and reflected on how their marriage has positively influenced her character.
She emphasized the importance of being protective and patient in a relationship, regardless of cultural differences between her gbo background and her husband’s Yoruba heritage.
Anita Joseph said:
“Marriage has influenced me in a very positive way. I have learnt to be more protective and patient.
“What matters the most is one’s heart. One’s parents or other family members won’t be in the marriage with you, so it is basically one and one’s spouse forever.
So, if one chooses someone from a different tribe, it is Okay. One’s happiness comes first.”
Anita Joseph expressed gratitude for her mother-in-law’s teachings and credited God’s grace for the success of their union, proving critics wrong who doubted its longevity.
“My mother-in-law speaks Yoruba to me and I say ‘eshe’ (thank you). I have learnt a bit, though it has not been easy.”
“As regards my post on Instagram on my wedding anniversary, I wrote that some people and even blogs said that my marriage won’t last, but I ‘sent’ it back to them and their sisters. God’s grace has kept my husband and I together.”
