Afeez ‘Owo’ Abiodun, the Nigerian actor popular in the Yoruba film industry, has disclosed how social media almost ruined his marriage.
The actor married his colleague Mide Martins in 2003, and they have two daughters.
In an interview with Behind The Fame, Abiodun stated that the fight was “our first and last fight as a couple”.
He added that the event began as a simple misunderstanding, which he confessed he handled poorly out of rage. He went on to say that the issue took a drastic turn when it spread to social media.
“The news of our separation went viral. And the fight became our first and the last fight as a couple. It was very serious but we later reconciled.
“I think I didn’t handle it well because I angrily left the house after we had a misunderstanding.
“Although, my intention was to spend two nights at a hotel and return home, but after she accused me of leaving the house, I now decided to stay away for more days.
“She eventually came to apologise, and we reconciled. It was an issue we should have resolved between ourselves, but Social media made the matter escalate even more,” he said.
Abiodun expressed admiration for his wife, highlighting the deep respect that forms the foundation of their relationship. He praised Mide as the one person whose influence he unquestionably accepts.
“She is the only person who talks to me, and I listen. I respect my wife a lot, and she is the only person who can control me,” he added.
“Mide is among the few people I respect enough to listen to. When she tells me something, I don’t argue.”
