Tunde Obe has said he and his wife Wunmi had to live below their means for years in order to secure a better future.
Tunde and Wunmi who make up the musical duo T.W.O have been married for 18 years.
Revealing the secrets of their successful marriage, the dad of two urged men to marry partners who will support their plans.
He said, “Marrying this woman helped me to be able to become who I am today, in the sense that we were living beneath our means for over a decade. There are many women who will never ever ever ever agree to live beneath their means. I will deny them of holidays, I will deny them of new cars, of clothes, I will deny them of everything because I was trying to build for tomorrow and she has so much faith and belief in me and where I was taking us. Because I’m the captain of my ship, I can’t lie, I am the captain of my own family, I’m the head of my family and I believe that whether we sink or swim is my responsibility.”
Tunde also added that,” If you are unfortunate not to have a wife who wants to encourage you, you can have a hundred million and say I’m not spending a kobo of this. We are going to continue to live like paupers because I want to do this and she’ll be like fine, and without that peace of mind, of knowing that I was putting things in place for our future, I couldn’t have ever achieved it.’’
