Veteran actor, film producer and director Afeez Owo Abiodun has revealed his wife’s family contributed largely to his success and achievements today.
He narrated how his relationship with his mother-in-law, Funmi Martins, influenced his inner feelings for his wife.
In a discussion with Biola Bayo on her Talk with B show, Afeez Owo narrated how he met Funmi Martins, lived with her and became an in-law.
The actor spoke about how he developed a bond with Mide Martins on her arrival to Nigeria and how the latter always consulted him in all her matters, including her mother, begging him to chastise his wife.
“Mide Martins was not in Nigeria. She was in the UK. When she came to Nigeria, she lived in a one-room apartment with her mother at Challenge, Mushin.
“Mide’s mum lived with her two siblings, including the actress who makes them four in the apartment. Before Mide’s arrival, I was already staying with them as the only man.
“I don’t know the love between Mide and I. She doesn’t do anything without consulting me, and her mother often took my help in disciplining her.
“Her family heavily influences my success…”
