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 .
