Olajumoke's
husband,Sunday Orisguana has broken his silence on her sudden rise to
fame.Speaking in an interview with Encomium magazine, he says he trusts
her and believes despite the riches,she will continue to be a good
wife..Excerpts below
How do you feel today?
I
am very happy. I never expected it. I didn’t know things will turn
around for us this soon. I wasn’t expecting it. I cannot express how I
feel today. I didn’t know we can get to where we are today. From the
time I was born till now. It is overwhelming. I didn’t ever envisage
such a great thing. I didn’t know we can ever get here.What actually happened, why did your wife come over to Lagos and you didn’t come with her?
I
live in Ire, Osun state. We were living together there before she came
over to Lagos. Ire Poly went on strike early in the year. Because of
that, things were a bit slow. There were no sales. I am an artisan. I
make aluminum doors and windows. She is a hairdresser.
Students patronized her a lot, but once there is strike, sales will be
on a low scale. She decided to come over to Lagos and find something
doing. She didn’t have it in mind to do a particular business. She just
said when she comes over, she will get any profitable venture she can
engage in. it was when she got to Lagos she called to tell me that she
was selling bread. She left our first child, Grace at home. She said the
small one will not stay because she is a baby. We communicated very
well. There is no problem. We agreed she should come over.Now that she is in Lagos, are you also coming over?
Yes,
that is what we are praying for. We need to relocate. We need
accommodation and every other thing. Lagos is not an easy place. We
didn’t know we would get a house. We don’t know how far it is from the
house and her work place. You have to consider the traffic and
everything. Unless one has a personal car we can use to drive her to
work so that she wouldn’t be late for work. I will go back home to bring
my other daughter so that we can all come over to Lagos
Do you like the work your wife is doing?
Yes, I like it. I am really excited about it.
Do you feel threatened that she is now famous and has gone ahead of you?
I
am not afraid because when we had nothing, she was always there. If I
said I needed this, she would give me. I am not afraid. If she is rich
today, we both own it. I trust her for that. She has been a very good
wife. I believe she will continue to be good.
How long have you been married?
We have been married for six years.
How did your path and hers cross?
She
came to greet her grandma in my area some years back. She came from
Lagos. She went to her mother’s younger sister, who introduced her to
hairdressing. I used to go to where she was learning hairdressing to
toast her but she insisted that she came to learn hairdressing and not
to befriend a man.
I used to go there often and after six months, she said yes, that was how it all started.
