you have problem, I will study you and I will bring out the fact. It is a
natural gift. It is my calling, to tell people the truth. If you see two
friends fighting, it only means something is lost from the relationship and
what is that? Truth and fact. Truth and fact are not the same thing, there is
different between truth and fact. The fact is that we are in this office this
morning for an interview. The truth is that you are the journalist that came to
this place. Truth is lost in Nigeria today and that is why a crop of
never-do-wells deceived the leadership of the past regime in Nigeria and today
we can see the result. So, the same thing applies to marriage, when truth is
lost the marriage can never stand the test of time.

What are these truths that get lost
in marriages and lead to collapse of confidence?
in marriages and lead to collapse of confidence?
Some women will get married to their man and
will like to take the man for a robot. That their husband supposed to do
everything when they push him to do so; no, no, no, your husband is your partner.
Sometimes ago I was with a female friend and she was complaining ‘oh, my
husband didn’t give me money’ and I said ‘when was the last time you gave your
husband money? Or is your husband a dead man?’ No, he is not a dead man? He is
a living man, he is working, and you are working. If your husband didn’t give
you money, give your husband money so that you can support yourselves. There is
no law that says husbands should do everything at home.

| Yetunde Babajide to Asabeafrika …’I have helped settle many marriages in the past’ |
I am surprised you are saying this
maybe that is the reason marriages are going dead today in Nigeria. Most women
see men as burden bearers instead of partners?
maybe that is the reason marriages are going dead today in Nigeria. Most women
see men as burden bearers instead of partners?
That is the
real problem my brother, especially among our people. In 2011 God used me to
settle and amend eleven marriages; I mean broken marriages o, by the time you
publish this interview some of them will be reading it and I am sure they will
write to you. I am very good at that, it is a gift. The problem is that
majority of our people got the concept of marriage wrong in Nigeria. First of
all if you are a woman and you are rich, there is nothing disturbing you from
getting married to a man that is of average level. You only need to support him
and two of you will come to the same pace and you move on with your life. There
is no law that says because I am rich I must look for a rich man, no, you are
getting it all wrong. We need to support ourselves. Secondly, there is no law
that says a man is going into marriage to carry all the responsibilities, why? The
man is only one; water and blood is equally running in his veins like his wife,
so why do you want to kill him? A man and woman that want to spend their life
together as husband and wife should bring their matter to the table. Two of
them should sit down and discuss it, who are you? What do you have? What can
you do? Are you ready to support me? As the husband is supporting the wife, the
wife should be supporting the husband as well. Two of them should know
themselves very well. What are they capable of doing together?
“If your husband didn’t give you
money, give your husband money so that you can support yourselves. There is no
law that says husbands should do everything at home”.
 |
| Mrs. Yetunde Babajide to Asabeafrika…’There is no law that says the man should do everything in the home front’ |
Both of you must be compatible…
Our women
and our men in Nigeria are getting it all wrong. If you are a generous man and
you marry a stingy woman you are going to have problem. Because when the
husband is trying to give out, the wife will be discouraging the husband. And
if the wife is a generous person and you marry a man that is not generous you
are going to have problem. So, two of you should understand yourself very well
and know what you can do together. You must be on the same pace. The husband
must be a giver and the wife should equally be a giver that is when the
equation will balance. That is number one point.

The number
two point is that the husband should consider his wife as a living soul and the
wife should equally consider her husband as a living soul, not a machine. So,
if your husband didn’t have money and you have, put the money down; if your
husband’s business is not moving well, put your money down
to support your husband and bring him up to be on the same pace with his
mates. You can borrow your husband money to do business then when the business
succeeds both of you will share the glory. Everybody will agree with me that a
prayer done to God by a couple is quickly answered when two of them have the
same mindset and the same disposition to life. If they pray together with one
heart, they will be blessed. So, there is no law that says the husband should
be a burden bearer. You don’t expect your husband to be buying clothes for you
all the time; buy for your husband too. If you put on a good clothe and you
want people to see your husband and admire him, bring him up like your own.
That is the logic there, it is not that my husband put money down and the money
he put down is not enough, I will cook fish, no; go outside there and buy
turkey, buy chicken, give him a good meal, he is not mad, he knows what the
market is saying and he knows you are the one that put this thing down. Sebi your husband goes out to the bukateria to eat?. So, if you put the
food on the table, he knows what your food worth and he knows how to appreciate
you, he knows what to give. Lastly, husbands and wives who like to discuss
their matter with a third party are only digging their own grave. If husband
and wife keep telling third parties about their financial problems and other
private issues my question is ‘when you were playing your love inside the room,
why can’t you go out and tell people how you do it with him?’ If you won’t
inform the public about your bedroom activities, every other thing between you
is equally private”

Husband & Wife must dialogue…
Again, today
in Nigeria, husband and wife don’t dialogue. If you cannot do it early in the
week, on Sunday after church put what you have be doing from Monday to Saturday
on the table ‘Darling this is what happened’ then two of you will exchange
ideas and at the end of the day you will discover you both don’t have problem.
A lot of things have gone wrong because of lack of understanding between
husbands and wives and that has given large rooms for a lot of fraud stars to
defraud our women. Some 419 experts will now watch out for some rich women and
they will disguise, claiming to love them only to end up duping them. Why? Because
people don’t understand themselves again, they don’t tell themselves the home
truth. I have seen many bad cases, a particular woman who felt her husband was
not opening up to her ended up opening herself to one 419 guy who came across
her. She taught she has found love not knowing he was a dupe. Do you know that
this guy after sleeping with this woman now took her naked pictures and went to show her husband, just because the lady
refused to pay him a fortune; that is why I keep saying, if you are not ready
for marriage, don’t go into it. Do whatever you want to do but if you know you
are ready; you must learn to open up to your wife and your husband. That is how
you can escape a lot of things in this world. It is a very simple thing to get
married but one thing is that you must open up; you must endeavor to trust each
other.

How Church system messed up marriage vows
There are
some husbands and wives these days, they don’t know themselves. Funny enough,
you will see lot of them, they will say in our church, I dreamt. What are you
dreaming about? You are dreaming about a life time journey? A journey that is
everlasting, what type of dreaming is that? There is nothing like dreaming
about marriage, the only thing there is know your partner very well, examine
yourself during the courtship. Let me give you an example, there are lots of
things people don’t know about marriage; husband can dislike the wife because
of eating habit. The wife can dislike the husband because of snoring, snoring.
I have met with a lot of couple in this world. I saw one woman who divorced her
husband because of snoring. The wife said they cannot sleep together in the
same room and unknown to her; there is no disease in this world that does not
have a cure. If you go to the United
Kingdom, they cure this snoring of a thing; it might just be one single
immune system that got missing in the man’s body and they can work towards it
and the man will stop snoring. Yet, the woman divorced the husband because of
that. In my own case, there is a
particular kind of man that I dislike; I hate any man that likes food too much.
Or we go eat out at a food canteen and you are served; only for you to say they
should add more soup for you, that kind of thing disgusts me. I could be put
off with just that and any man that does it; I may never have anything to do
with such a man. So, everyone with his or her own peculiar way of life, I hate
any man that is proud. But a woman that
cannot withstand a proud man but because the man is rich, you now get involved
with him because of his money, that marriage is dead on arrival because that
thing is in the man’s blood. He is a proud man, let him go and look for a woman
that is proud so that their equation will be balanced. So, those are the
little-little things people don’t know about marriage. It is a complete
institution for me. Look at it, these days, some women will be watching their
husbands, as soon as the man goes into the bathroom, they will carry the man’s
phone and they will be searching it; it is very, very, very wrong. Your
husband’s phone is his private property; you have no right to break into his
privacy. Any problem he causes for himself, either through text messages or
phone call, that is his own cup of tea, leave him with it because I have never
seen in this world where a married man will impregnate another woman and they will
say ‘go and call the wife’ have you ever seen that before?

He is the
one that impregnate the woman, so he should go there and sort himself out. I
give kudos to one of my former governor’s wife. It is a story I heard from a
reliable source. During her husband’s reign, a lady allegedly got impregnated
by her husband and you know it is a very difficult thing to see a governor; she
started looking for the governor but couldn’t find him. So, the woman now
traced the first lady and decided to spill the beans. She said ‘oh, I am
pregnant for your husband bla-bla-bla’. The first lady replied ‘and so what is
my problem about that? Or was I there when you people were sleeping with
yourselves? Go and sought it out with him”. So, the woman refused to entangle
herself in the scandal; instead of embroiling her matrimony with the scandal,
the woman decided to be diplomatic. She didn’t fight her husband’s concubine
and she did not make war with her husband over it; because if you look at it
practically, it was her position as the first lady that was at stake but she
got over it very quickly. She asked the other woman, ‘what concerns me with my
husband impregnating you?’ That is his own private life. If he thinks that is
the best thing for him, so be it. In my own case, if I am a married woman and I
get to know that my husband impregnate another woman outside our home, I will
never discuss it with him, what concerns me about that? As far as he didn’t
bring the woman to me at home, it is his own cup of tea. So, I used to tell
women, don’t search your husband’s phone; his text messages or whatever, that
is his own cup of tea and husbands too should respect their wives’ privacy

“I have personally experienced it sometimes
ago because all I do in this life is from experience. There was a particular
time a text message came into my phone at midnight and one woman told me to
leave her husband alone; she said so many things despite my innocence. So, I
called her number repeatedly, but this woman went further to even curse me and
I said ‘well, I don’t know you, I am not in tango with you’ I mastered the
number and anytime she calls I wont pick her call again. But one day like that,
I just sent a text to the woman’s phone; I said ‘are you sure you are talking
to the right person? check the number you are sending text messages to because
I don’t know your husband and I am not going out with any married man, so, what
is all this mess?’ from that moment the text message stopped coming. The woman
didn’t call me again because she now found out that she was sending message to
a wrong number. She eventually discovered her mistake and she started looking
for me; sending a lot of appealing messages to me, praying for me and asking
for forgiveness until one day I sent for her and I asked ‘what is your problem?’
and she said ‘her husband is promiscuous’ I said look at you, you are just
working yourself up. Look at that, in the course of being jealous you have
stormed another person’s peace; somebody you don’t even know. These are the
things we must know. Your husband’s phone is his phone, and your own phone is

Oprah Winfrey is my role model because she is

following Oprah Winfrey in the last

who tries as much as possible to bring the best out of anybody no matter how
lowly they are. You can see today I am wearing a hair like that of Oprah Winfrey; at times I dress like
her. I love her and for real I think she is influencing our generation.

Tell us about your cuisine ability?
There is
nothing I cannot cook. When you talk of cooking, there is no food I cannot
cook, including Calabar meals, Igbo meals; I used my own money to go to
Calabar Kitchen to learn how to cook
not for professional sake but just for knowledge sake so that anywhere I find
myself, I am capable of doing it. I can cook Afang soup, Edika-Ikong,
Atama
Soup, all the soups. I can cook Hausa meals like Tuwo,
I am very conversant with the ingredients. That is the way I was brought up. To
cap it all, I have Diploma in Catering
and Hotel Management from Doff
Institute because I am a voracious learner. In fact, it took me a very long
time before I discovered that it is not necessary to know everything about this
world because that was the way I was brought up. When I see someone doing
something, I want to learn and know it and if possible practice it; when you
talk of dry-cleaning business I know everything about it; I can prepare a stain
remover, I mean the chemical. I can prepare 5 good ones on my own. I even have
my own chemical I use for fumigation and de-rating. If I de-rat a particular
house after fumigating, when I prepare my own chemical, if any rat eats my
chemical and the rat dies, if any dog eats that rat, the dog will equally die.
That is the level of my knowledge. I am a professional in all what I am doing.
I know how to do all lot of things, when you talk of cream, soap, polish
including different colors I am here to produce it and that are what led to my
setting up of Total Peace Foundation
which is my own NGO for poverty eradication and peaceful living.
nothing I cannot cook. When you talk of cooking, there is no food I cannot
cook, including Calabar meals, Igbo meals; I used my own money to go to
Calabar Kitchen to learn how to cook
not for professional sake but just for knowledge sake so that anywhere I find
myself, I am capable of doing it. I can cook Afang soup, Edika-Ikong,
Atama
Soup, all the soups. I can cook Hausa meals like Tuwo,
I am very conversant with the ingredients. That is the way I was brought up. To
cap it all, I have Diploma in Catering
and Hotel Management from Doff
Institute because I am a voracious learner. In fact, it took me a very long
time before I discovered that it is not necessary to know everything about this
world because that was the way I was brought up. When I see someone doing
something, I want to learn and know it and if possible practice it; when you
talk of dry-cleaning business I know everything about it; I can prepare a stain
remover, I mean the chemical. I can prepare 5 good ones on my own. I even have
my own chemical I use for fumigation and de-rating. If I de-rat a particular
house after fumigating, when I prepare my own chemical, if any rat eats my
chemical and the rat dies, if any dog eats that rat, the dog will equally die.
That is the level of my knowledge. I am a professional in all what I am doing.
