Basket Mouth in a recent interview with Encomium, speaks
about his challenges as a married man. He said;
What are the low moments of your marriage, and how
have you been able to manage?
Mine is different because of my job. The low moments are
times when she would cry because I wasn’t around. These times have been
difficult for us. There was a time I travelled out of Nigeria for two months.
Although during the period, I came to Nigeria three times, and when I was about
leaving the next day, she was crying profusely.How do
you make-up?
Gifts. And whenever I am in the country, we have fun
together. Like now, she’s here with me. She follows me to everywhere I go. I am
also a houseboy, whenever I’m home, I do not leave the house. I spend every
moment with my family; my wife and the kids.
What
are those chores you do at home that people don’t expect?
I cook. I try, I can’t really say I’m a good cook. But I
cook for my family.
Advice
to other couples
I’m not that experienced to start giving advice to older
people but, everything centres on love and understanding in every relationship.
Look at our parents, after 30-40 years of marriage, they are still together.
Then, you ask yourself, what are they doing right? What are they doing wrong?
Then, you find out that they are patient and tolerant. Our parents are tolerant
but children of today are not. We’re more materialistic, no genuine love. I
think, we should learn from our parents. If not that my dad had passed on; he
would still be married. Don’t just marry somebody because she’s pretty or she’s
from a rich family.
