After lots of critics concerning the marriage of Toyin
Aimakhu to her hubby Adeniyi
Johnson who is 3 years older than her, she opened up about her marriage in an
interview with Nigerian Tribune, she said that the critics she gets from people
is an inspiration to ensure that she continuously keep building her marriage.
Some
critics didn’t believe that your marriage could even last this long…
That’s their own wahala. I don’t care. But all the same, I
like the attitude. I’ve heard that before, even from people that we thought
were close to us. But the truth is a lot of people don’t know the kind of
upbringing we had.
They know neither my
background nor my husband’s, so they judge based on speculations. But I love
it. It even serves as a push to remind us that it must last. It is obvious that
some people are waiting for my marriage to crash and that alone is enough
incentive for me to make it work. My home is built on the solid rock, I am not
of the world.There
are also speculations that your husband is younger than you are…
My husband is three years older than I am. I don’t owe
anyone that explanation though. It is no one’s business. In fact, let them say
I am 20 years older than him. It is their problem.
Your
husband has been able to change a lot about you. For instance, stopping you
from using a blackberry phone, among other things. Many thought you couldn’t be
that submissive...
That is why he is my husband. And those that say things
about me are those that don’t know me. He is my small god; I have to listen to
him because I want to have a happy home. All my older siblings are happily
married; everybody in my family is happily married. My eldest sibling is like
50 years old and is still happily married, so mine can’t be a different story.
My parents are still
happily married; my father is 74 years old, my mother is 72, so who will I turn
to with a broken home? I am submissive to him, because he is my husband. So if
he is doing his responsibility, then I have to do mine too as a wife. A lot of
people don’t know what a hubby and wife relationship means and that is why we
have a lot of broken homes.
I am off BBM because
he doesn’t like it and I am fine with it. Moreover, that is the only thing many
people know, there are lot of things I had to give up because he doesn’t like
it.
Any role restriction?
Yes. I have lost a lot of roles to that. I even recently
lost a chance to feature in an English movie. They ask you if you can do some
things or not and I said no.
What
can make you turn down a script?
I used to belong to myself, but now I belong to someone and
I have to dance to that person’s tunes. As a Christian, we have the 10
commandments and the husband is the ‘small god’ in the home. The Bible says if
you listen and obey God’s commandments, He would do everything for you, so
that’s the way it is. I’m gone past some roles.
