The first time I took my husband to see my mom, she asked why I chose him, I didn’t waste time to say, “because he’s smarter than me.”
From the time I was ripe for marriage, I started telling myself and anyone who cared to listen that I don’t want to marry a businessman, especially those traders in the market. And coming from a wealthy family with most family friends being businessmen and traders, it was a tough decision to stand by. Yet, I turned down many wealthy suitors.
At some point, I nearly gave in to one that seemed educated but in our first argument, he said, “speaking big English doesn’t make you better than me, you’re not the first person that went to school.”
In that moment, he reminded me exactly why I made the decision not to marry a businessman. I took to my heels.
My hubby wasn’t rich but wasn’t poor either. He looked skinny and just started working in an oil company. We could argue about many topics and he wouldn’t feel intimidated by my intelligence. Rather he argued with facts and most times he was right.
When I shared my goals and aspirations with him even the silly ones, he found a way to bring it to life. I guess we became business partners before we became lovers.
Today, he is wealthier, more robust , more attractive and in the management team of his company. Above all, he hasn’t stopped pushing me to be the best at what I do.
While marriages can be undoubtedly difficult and unpredictable, you can overcome most of the challenges when you’re intentional about who you choose as your partner.

Anytime I go out and I see Nigerians getting harassed by men in uniform, I stop my car, get down and stand in solidarity. Please let us develop the attitude of standing up for one another. The government has failed us. We are all we have.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Your circumstances and the opinions of others, however real or harsh, don’t define you. What God put in you is bigger. Do a little celebration right now. Yes, just for existing. Think better. Feel better. Act better. Tomorrow will be better.
