Nollywood actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has explained how her whirlwind romance with her husband, Nnamdi, has blossomed into a long-lasting 24-year-old marriage.
In a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Omoni attributed their successful union to a decision they made before exchanging vows, stating that they eliminated divorce as an option.
“Staying married for over two decades. First things first, you have to decide. It’s a decision. From day one, we decided that divorce was not an option, even before we got married,” Omoni revealed.
She asserted that the commitment has helped them navigate the challenges of married life, including their turbulent first year together.
The mother of three further emphasised the importance of forgiveness in a successful marriage, highlighting that the mindset has enabled them to overcome conflicts and strengthen their relationship.

She said:
“There’s almost nothing someone can do that you can’t forgive, if you want to forgive. We all have to realise that we’re all sinners.”
The filmmaker revealed that her love story was unconventional, with Nnamdi proposing just two weeks after meeting and getting married four months later.
Omoni admitted she was young and unsure, but fell in love with the way her husband loved her.
Nnamdi Oboli offered words of wisdom to young couples, stressing the importance of taking responsibility in a marriage.
“Marriage is a responsibility. You don’t go into a marriage expecting it to happen to you. You are the relationship. It’s between two people; you have to make it work,” she advised.
Veteran Nigerian musician Baba Fryo has claimed that most musicians don’t enjoy marriage.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the veteran said, “Most musicians don’t enjoy marriage, except they are lying.
“They are not enjoying their marriages. Their spouses don’t understand their profession. Go and verify what I am saying.
“Most musicians thrive better when they are unmarried. It’s just a few of them who are still thriving after marriage maybe because their spouses already knew and accepted them for who they are.”
