| Ayo Ajewole & his wife |
At what age did you plan getting married
initially?
While growing up, I had always believed that I
would get married at the age of 30 at most but I ended up getting married later
than that age.
What delayed the plan?
Money basically because you have to be sure of
your income before venturing into marriage but in all, I give thanks to God
because everything worked out fine. We may make plans but God has the final
say.
When did you eventually tie the knot?
I got married in April 2017.
How did you meet your wife?
I met her at a programme I was invited to in Kogi
State. While the crowd was trying to take pictures with me, I just sighted this
beautiful lady standing at a corner looking at me. I walked up to her and
immediately told her that she was my wife but she began to laugh. I told her I
was serious and that I was speaking as a prophet but she kept on laughing and
told me that I was just too funny and playful. While I was saying that, my mind
kept telling me that she probably was in a relationship with someone else but I
did not care. I got her number and here we are today.
At what point did she begin to take you
seriously?
Thank God for the midnight call promotion during
that time. I called her during one midnight and she said, ‘Woli, so you also do
extra-cool.’ But I told her that it was love that caused it; when it comes to
love, you can do anything. After I said this, she was ready to listen to me.
Then she asked if I was serious about my statement and I told her yes. She
asked what made me so sure and I told her that as I knew a man of God, I was
talking with authority. Besides, the Bible tells me that immediately Adam saw
Eve, he recognised Eve and named her woman which means a man taken out of me
and has a womb. I said that it was the same process. In fact, before I got to
the venue of the event, something told me that I would meet somebody that would
never leave my life.
How long did the courtship last?
It lasted for about four years.
How did you propose to your wife?
For me, I was always doing something for her
every month just to let her know that I was serious because it took her time to
be sure that I really wanted her. Sometimes I had to ask my celebrity friends
to call her and let her know that I loved her. After about a year of our
relationship, I packaged something and proposed to her properly. But I would
say that it was from the first month we got together that I started proposing
to her. My wife is so beautiful and I did not want to lose her, so I did not
wait till I was ready to marry before proposing to her. After a month, I
started the proposal process.
Did you face any challenge during your
courtship?
We did not really face any challenge especially
because I have a very positive outlook at any situation that confronts me. What
I thought could have been a challenge was her father’s disposition to our union.
She is the only daughter of her father and he loves her alot, so I thought that
would have been a hurdle to cross but God went before me and prepared the way.
I had even seen her father in my dream before I met with him in real life. In
fact, it was her father that instructed her to bring the man in her life home
and that was how I met my father-in-law.
When you were at the altar during the
wedding, what went through your mind?
There were a lot of things that went through my
mind. On that day, I shed tears of joy. Looking at the crowd that came for my
wedding alone was quite overwhelming. I felt that I had been anchoring weddings
for a long while and finally it was my turn for someone to anchor mine. I
looked into my wife’s eyes and I said to myself this is the beautiful woman
that I would spend the rest of my life with. I knew that I meant it when I said
she was my wife the first day I met her but the mere fact that it was becoming
a reality made me very joyous. Another thing that went through my mind was how
I would settle in my home. I was very happy on that day.
