In a recent interview with
Genevieve
magazine, actress and new mum, Osas Ighodaro-Ajibade said it was very
hurtful to her when she heard people making comments that Gbenro Ajibade
married her because he wants to get a green card. Osas is a US citizen.
Speaking, Osas said
“Being in the limelight, I hear different things and I wouldn’t be human
if some of them didn’t get to me; especially the comments people made
about how he is only with me because he wants a green card. That was
very hurtful because people don’t understand the love we have for each
other. Everybody likes a good life. Who no like better tin?
If he is able to get a green card for being with me,
then that is a blessing but for people to assume that that is the only
reason he is with me is very hurtful. Gbenro has had different
opportunities in his life and he could have made that ‘green card’
happen a long time ago. He always tells me that he had never envisioned
himself being in love and in a relationship until he met me. He thought
he might just end up having a baby mama. I didn’t ask him to marry me.
He asked me to take this journey with him. People can talk all they
want” she said
Osas said many people thought she could have done better with her choice
of a life partner but she doesn't care. According to her, Gbenro might
not be the richest man but they have love and will grow together.
"People say I could have done better but I don’t even think about it. I
know what I have gone through and the kind of men who have approached
me. The first and most important thing to me is love. Of course I know
some billionaires could have courted me but I am not about the money.
When I first returned from the US that’s what I was being approached
with but it’s never been my priority. Love is more important to me.
Gbenro might not be the richest man in the world but there is love and
we will grow together and that’s what makes me proud of our marriage.
Would I rather be rich and miserable? No! I have a man who is smart and
talented, so handsome and God fearing. There is no other direction he
would go but upwards because he is a man who is determined for himself
and his family. I am not worried that he is not a billionaire; by God’s
grace he will get there. I’d rather be happy in the man he is and the
man I know he is aspiring to be. People will always have opinions. I am
judged even for the air I breathe"she said.
