gift he has ever received from God.
Teju babyface who got married to Tobi in a
glamorous wedding setting in Lagos on the 1st of
September, 2012 speaks up on his marriage life.
Interview excerpt below:
Your chubby cheeks have disappeared. stress or
age?
Really? That’s interesting. You tell me. In Nigeria
where an average comedian is his own
marketer, image maker, book manager, etc,
where is the time for one to rest? On the real, I
am not getting younger . I should naturally age
Now that you are married, don’t you think it’s
time to dump the name Babyface and be
addressed as Mr …
I am now called Teju Jacobs-Oyelakin, though the
Babyface still sticks
How’s it being married?
Oh, it’s been a great experience. A lot of maturity
has come in. I no longer think about myself, neither
do I think only for myself. I have a wife to think of,
a new future to chart with her and our future
kids. These have got me acting, thinking and
talking like a grown up. There is nothing on
earth that’s better than marrying the woman that
completes you, it’s the ultimate gift.
What has your new status taken away from you?
The Bible says ‘he that findeth a wife finds a good
thing and obtains favor from the Lord’, yes. It also
says that ‘the blessing of the Lord maketh rich
and addeth no sorrow’, yes. So, do the math.
Status taken away? Nothing has been taken away
bro, it has added more to me, my life . You want
to know how? I now receive more favours from
above and from men. I have not lost my freedom, if
that is what you mean
What did she see in you?
It might have been my smoldering hotness!
(laughs). Seriously, till now, I don’t know. I have
not bothered to ask her because it won’t matter
now. I sought her, she agreed and now we are
married. She is the only one that can tell you why
she freaks for me oh. (Sunday Tribune Interview)
Lovely interview!
