He added that men need to marry supportive women in order for them to have lasting unions.
Obe stated that his wife’s support and understanding helped him become who he is today.
He said of his marriage: “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.”
He also said of the sacrifices in the marriage: “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.
“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.”
Tunde and Wunmi Obe also known as T.W.O. are a respected couple in the Nigerian entertainment industry. They have recorded five albums as well as influenced a large audience with their sounds across various demographics.
