Actress Anita Joseph recently marked the fourth anniversary of her marriage to hype man Michael Fisayo, popularly known as MC Fish, shedding light on the transformative impact their union has had on her character.
In a reflective celebration, Joseph expressed how marriage has been a positive force, teaching her valuable lessons in protection and patience. She emphasized the significance of the heart in a union, underscoring that external influences such as family or tribe should not dictate the happiness of a married couple.
“Marriage has influenced me in a very positive way. I have learned to be more protective and patient. What matters the most is one’s heart,” Anita Joseph said. “One’s parents or other family members won’t be in the marriage with you, so it is basically one and one’s spouse forever. So, if one chooses someone from a different tribe, it is okay. One’s happiness comes first.”
Addressing the cultural variances between her Igbo background and her husband’s Yoruba heritage, Anita Joseph shared her efforts in bridging the gaps, expressing gratitude for her mother-in-law’s teachings in Yoruba. Despite the challenges of learning a new language, she embraced the cultural diversity within her marriage.
“My mother-in-law speaks Yoruba to me, and I say ‘eshe’ (thank you). I have learned a bit, though it has not been easy,” she shared.
Anita Joseph, also addressed critics who doubted the longevity of her marriage. She expressed happiness in proving them wrong, attributing the success of their union to God’s grace.
“As regards my post on Instagram on my wedding anniversary, I wrote that some people and even blogs said that my marriage won’t last, but I ‘sent’ it back to them and their sisters. God’s grace has kept my husband and me together,“Anita Joseph confidently stated.
