On Lara being in the entertainment industry:
I find solace in my wife conquering her dreams. So by default, I
support everything that she does. I may have a different approach to
attaining certain things, but together, see that she gets there.
On the challenges of working with Lara:
We both have lots of great ideas. Luckily, we see eye to eye on
majority of things. However, there are times when our ideas clash. Over
the years, there has been growth. As either a husband or manager, I
remind myself to listen, listen and listen. Understand her and help her
understand me as well and we compromise.
On knowing Lara was the woman for him:
I remember my father asking me to be sure I knew what I was getting
into. Here was my reply, “She reminds me of mummy” My mother had always
been the best woman I ever knew. Godly and selfless! Then I finally met a
girl who had those traits and more!

On her working relationship with Alex:
It’s fun, but can be a bit tricky when we disagree, because all of a
sudden the difference between talking to Alex my manager and talking to
Alex my husband becomes foggy, but with that said, the great thing about
having my husband as my manager is that I am certain he has my best
interest at heart.
On how they handled their biggest misunderstanding:
Well, emotional blackmail, that’s how we women roll, I’m kidding.
Seriously I think what we fight about mostly is the fact that I don’t
like a lot of attention, or trying to be portrayed as a celebrity (it
actually makes me cringe). The thing is he understands the importance of
being out there and not being forgotten and that sometimes means doing
things out of my comfort zone, if that’s what it takes for me to be
successful in a field I’m so passionate about, then so be it.
On Alex’s bad habits:
He drinks the family orange juice straight from the carton. He puts
barbecue sauce on everything, especially jollof rice, it’s so
frustrating after sweating in the kitchen and putting all those flavours
together then he ruins it with barbecue sauce.
On what marriage has taught her:
Patience, prayer and how to love differently – selflessly and
unconditionally. Having a family comes with some serious
responsibilities, and that in turn brings about a lot of pressure. That
makes it hard sometimes but having an amazing husband and a wonderful
daughter makes everything worthwhile and of course keeps me very very
happy.
