It has actually become a common belief in the world, particularly in this part of the world, that it is almost a waste of time going into any marriage involving a celebrity groom and bride, either on one end or on both divides.
This is simply because about 90% of such marriages here, have often ended in the waste bin. So, you won’t completely blame those with such or similar mindset. But in the face of all these, we have seen a couple of Nigerian celebrities who have practically redefined what a celebrity marriage should be.
On the other hand, when you look at all these women, they have one thing in common; they are highly supportive to their husbands, their husbands have enjoyed more than enough peace of mind, and are not known to be financially extravagant like most women, both those within and even below their class.
I have hardly seen them among those women who are always on social media creating immature dramas, showing off luxuries and their ostentatious lifestyles, which keeps draining their husbands’ coffers.
No economic, social or otherwise value to their husbands. But you these women here, they are worth more gold to their husbands, hence why we have chosen to celebrate them today…
AJOKE SILVA OR JOKE SILVA:
This is one female celebrity in Nigeria who has continued to inspire millions of people out there, assuring them that the era of a lasting, peaceful and successful marriages are not yet over. And age has led by example in that regards, not just by mere words of the mouth.
The veteran Nollywood actress and her husband, veteran Nollywood actor, Olu Jacobs got married about 39 years ago, precisely in 1985, and wedded 1989.
The couple had met in 1981 at the National Theatre Lagos, during the country’s 21st independence celebration, abd went on to marry few years later, and are blessed with two children.
She has been a role model to other women out there, running and raising her home like no one else. Marriage of close to four decades, no marital scandals, in spite the fame and fortune at his disposal at these years.
Do you know her husband, Olu Jacobs, has been down since with ailing health? But she has been there for him, through thick and thin, regardless of the burdens that comes with such situations, but she has carried the burdens without grudges, grumbling or angry face.
Please, give Ajoke Silva her flowers, she’s has proven over the years that she’s a worthy model to the motherhood and womanhood.
DAKORE EGBUSON AKANDE:
Married in 2011 to Olumide AKANDE, the only so of Billionaire Harry Akande, and their marriage is blessed with two beautiful kids.
Their marriage of about 13 years has remained of the most peaceful, successful and beautiful marriages of its time.
Owing to the unbreakable nature of their marriage, in January 2020, bad belle people started spreading fake rumours about the crash of her marriage. Disappointedly to them, the marriage is still soaring higher like a glowing eagle.
Meanwhile, stop always trying to make it look like it is wealth that makes a marriage successful. History has proven severally that such postulation is just a figment of the imaginations of its conceivers.
REGINA DANIELS:
Married to a billionaire businessman, politician and philanthropist, Senator Ned Nwoko in December 2019. Their marriage regardless of its polygamous nature, has become the dream marriage of most women.
While many people have criticized her marriage with Prince Ned Nwoko at the infant stage, today, the music has practically changed on the lips of those against her marriage then.
She has constantly been sampled as a role model of what a happy, successful and beautiful home/marriage represents. Their enviable and seemingly perfect marriage is blessed with two lovely kids already.
Many people with biased mindset are always quick to come up with the excuses that it is because she’s married into mega wealth, that’s why she has been a good wife.
Well, we have seen marriages with far bigger wealth than that of Regina, and ended up in the waste bin. So, give yourself a break from such envy laden mentality.
IMAOBONG REGINA ASKIA USORO:
Unlike most celebrities of her level, who will just come to taste how sweet or bitter marriage is, Regina Askia has equally joined the league of women who have brought honour and dignity to the marriage institution.
Been married to her American hubby, Rudolph Rudy Williams, and their marriage is blessed with two beautiful daughters.
The couple have never been less proud of each other as they flaunt their love at every given space, and you can only but marvel at the beauty of their holy union (marriage).
Before you start arguing and projecting your ill fated thoughts on how she’s married to this man or that man.
We have seen thousands of women who left their marriages once they have gotten whatever they want from the man over there.
MERCY JOHNSON OKOJIE:
Mummy Purity as she’s fondly called, has actually taught her fellow celebrities what marriage should be, and that marriage is one beautiful and sweetest adventure in life, once you are playing your cards well.
Married to Honourable (Prince) Odianosen Okojie in 2011, in a star studded and lavish wedding ceremony, their marriage is just a beauty on its own, and a glaring envy of many women out there.
Looking at her social status and fortunes, one could would easily conclude that she will be a tough woman to deal with Inside marriage, but she’s a totally opposite to such impression.
Till date, her marriage which is already blessed with four kids, never been associated with any sort of scandal. You won’t be wrong if you say she’s having a perfect marriage.
Besides, we have seen how supportive most of these women are to their husband’s career and pursuits.
For instance, Regina Daniels was super active during her husband’s Political campaigns in 2022/2023, running around on all fronts to ensure he succeeds, and same thing with Mercy Johnson during her hubby’s Political campaigns during same period.
OMOTOLA JALADE EKEINDE:
The generally acclaimed Queen of the screens is one Nigerian celebrity that has inspired many other women to fall in love with the marriage institution once again. She has had one of the most beautiful and sweetest marriages in the history of the institution.
Married to Flight captain Matthew Ekeinde in 1996, this close to three decades now, and we have not really heard or seen the usual crisis rocking most celebrity marriages in her union.
This is even as she’s one of the biggest names in the movie and entertainment industry in Nigeria and by large, Africa. She has conducted herself like a true African mother, with so much self respect and dignity.
When you are talking about a mother who’s truly a role model to other women, her names pops up among the first list of names.
Do not be deceived that it is all rosy for her in that marriage, she has equally faced her own fair share of the headaches that comes with an average marriage, but we have seen her standing strong and total.
This is simply because she knows what marriage is all about, that’s not always a tea party as most women out there think, hence, once they start witnessing any sort of headache in there, they take off immediately.
ADESUA ETOMI WILLINGTON:
The world has really been marvelled at the flow of love, understanding, mutual respect and chemistry between the actress and her music star Husband, Banky Wellington A.K.A Banky W.
Their Marriage of over six years has continued to soar higher, and sure, the envy of most women who wish to have same or similar marriage for themselves.
What gladdens my heart the most about the couple is the level of friendship they have exhibited over the years, and you begin to think they are not husband and wife, but siblings.
Both understands their individual roles more than enough, and that’s one of the most important ingredients in any marriage. And it is always abundant in their marriage.
SIMI:
Simi and her husband, Adekunle Gold are yet another couple who have stolen the hearts of millions with the way they have managed their marriage since they got married.
As a single person, be it as a bachelor or spinster, their marriage will definitely trigger the desire in you to be married as well. This portrays how sweet and beautiful their marriage has been over the years.
Though they are some other marriages we would have love to talk about in this regard, but these one stands out so far. For instance, when you look at the marriage between Chioma and Davido, you will be happy.
But some factors made it impossible for them to get into the list at this juncture, especially considering the infancy status of their marriage. But with them, we are sure they will be topping lists like this, when talking about great and beautiful marriages of our time.
