You need to STOP teaching your daughters that GETTING MARRIED AND “KEEPING A MAN” is an ultimate PURPOSE of a woman’s existence. That is the reason why some ladies suffer so badly in their homes because they think that everything is better then “ loosing” a man. Stop teaching your daughters that they exist only to sacrifice,stomach and tolerate everything and anything man does.STOP MAKING ME
ANGRY,please. TEACH THEM TO KNOW THEIR WORTH AND TO LOVE THEMSELVES FIRST,BEFORE YOU TEACH THEM HOW TO COOK,CLEAN AND “SERVE” THEIR FUTURE HUSBAND WELL. (This post refers to Nigerians for some reason but I for sure know it applies to half of this world where women suffer in their homes and where they are so afraid of being judged if they choose to leave ).I AM MY SISTERS KEEPER. I LOVE ME ALL MY WOMEN!! #SoniaOgbonna”

Actor, singer and music producer, JJC has disclosed how he met his beautiful and talented Nollywood actress Funke Akindele, in a recent chat with the Punch, JJC said me met his wife through her TV idea, 'Jenifer's Diary. He said:
As an entertainer , what has marriage changed about you ?
It has made me more focused . It has also given me more stability and peace of mind.
You once said that you were wary of any kind of emotional attachment , why did you decide to get married to Funke Akindele ?
In life , when you find the right person , nobody needs to tell you to settle down . It is like finding God ; you may be a bad boy in the club today, and the next day, you ’re in front of the church shouting ‘Halleluyah . ’ Nobody can determine when that change will happen, and I’ m very happy that it has happened to me .
How did you meet your wife ?
She had an idea called Jenifa’s Diary that she wanted to do , and she was looking for a good director and cameraman , so she called me to help her shoot the TV series , and that was how we met .
Was it love at first sight ?
Absolutely , it was an instant connection . In fact , it was love at first sight. I saw her , she saw me and, we saw stars . From that point on , everything was aligned.
What were the qualities you saw in her that made you know she is the one ?
Ask every single man that is married, they will tell you the same thing . It is the same qualities that everybody wants .
So what are those qualities ?
To be honest , I do not want to talk about my personal life . My wife is my baby and I cherish her a lot . If I start giving you all the secrets, people may want to snatch her from me .
Even if you do not tell us all, just give us a sneak peek…
The truth is I work really hard all the time, and a lot of the people I dated in the past used to complain that I did not devote time to them . But now , I have found my better-half who works as hard as I do, so it is a perfect combination , and the world is in trouble because we are the perfect team . As I am playing music , she is making me laugh. We have the perfect synergy , and what we are working on right now will blow people’ s minds away . And I want to advise people in the entertainment industry to go and look for their better- half within the same industry, because it will give you more focus and direction.
But many people feel inter - marriages in the entertainment industry do not work , can you share some of what you have discovered that can help them?
Pray to God for direction because I did a lot of prayers and God answered . Different things work for different people. All I know is that God has given me what works for me .
