ACTRESS Anita Joseph has shared how she copes with cultural differences in her marriage to a hype man, Michael Fisayo, aka MC Fish.
The Anambra state-born actress said that although it hasn’t been easy, she puts in efforts to make their union work.
She said: “As an Igbo woman with a Yoruba husband, I just have to my best. My mother-in-law speaks Yoruba to me and I say ‘eshe’ (thank you). I have learnt a bit, though it has not been easy.”
Anita Joseph, who celebrated her fourth wedding anniversary during the week, added that, “Marriage has influenced me in a very positive way. I have learnt to be more protective and patient.
“What matters the most is one’s heart. One’s parents or other family members won’t be in the marriage with you, so it is basically one and one’s spouse forever. So, if one chooses someone from a different tribe, it is okay. One’s happiness comes first.”
The curvaceous actress also stated that though many people did not give her marriage a chance of succeeding, she was happy to prove them wrong.
She said, “As regards my post on Instagram on my wedding anniversary, I wrote that some people and even blogs said that my marriage won’t last, but I ‘sent’ it back to them and their sisters. God’s grace has kept my husband and I together.”
