Abegi ooooo.
I just dey talk to many pple wey think say marriage shouldn’t feel like work. Or if it feels like work, we are doing it wrong.
Somehow our society has come to think of marriage as something we set and forget.
Lie.
Like anything else that is rewarding, we have to work at our marriages. And it’s OK if marriage is hard work!“
“It can never be on auto cruise.“
The entertainer got married to his first wife Stella at a Catholic Church in Onitsha in 1974 when he was 19. The relationship produced one child.
The singer revealed that the marriage failed because he was underage when his mother got him a wife.
Charly Boy met Dianne, an African-American singer, in 1974 in a hair salon in Boston, U.S., where he had gone to make his hair.
In 1979 they got married. The couple renewed their vows in 2018.
