shared his experience in marriage, talks
about proposal, plans for future.
What was the attraction to your wife,
Idara? What kind of attraction, physical,
emotional or spiritual?
All of the above… She is like a gold fish which has
no hiding place. I spotted her at a wedding.
At what point did you know she was your
wife?
I can't say I knew she would be my wife the first
day we met. We interacted a little. At a point, I just
got to know she is reasonable, real, homely, God-
fearing and above all, she is not perfect.
And she knows I'm not either. I saw the prospect of
her tolerating me. Later, I just decided to ask the
big question, "will you marry me?"
How did you do it?
I did it inside my car (laughs). And her answer was
a big Yes! If she told you she said yes, it is
understandably to please me. She didn't say an
automatic yes. She didn't look at me seriously. That
was when I knew I have a little personality problem.
She couldn't differentiate Ime 'Bishop' Umoh from
the artistic part of me. But I told her I was serious
and then asked her again right inside my car. I
don't spend long time in Uyo. So, whenever I saw
her we had to drive round the town and our
discussions were usually inside the car.
It was also in my car. I asked her again, will you
marry me? And she said a big yes!
How has married life been?
Married life is nice o. For me, there is nothing more
blissful than marriage, especially when you know
you have made a good and perfect decision. There
is also this inner joy that you are talking with
someone you love and she loves you back for the
rest of her life for who you are.
What do you think is the sweetest thing
about being married?
Like I said, you feel more secured, you have a
companion who is always there for you.
Do you miss bachelorhood?
I wouldn't say I don't miss bachelor life, but it is
better to be married than being single when you
are of age.
What has being married hindered you from
doing?
I can't stay a day now without hearing from my
wife. I don't have time for any other woman right
now. And it will remain so forever, God being my
helper.
What is your prayer for this marriage?
I pray for more of God's blessings and marital bliss.
Our marriage will also be blessed with children. His
wife, Idara Saviour is a third year student of
Communication Arts, University of Uyo. She is in
her early 20s.
How did your path cross?
We met at a wedding where he was the Master of
Ceremonies. I was in the bridal train. After the
ceremony, we had a chat and exchanged phone
numbers. That was how it all started.
How many kids are you guys planning?
Four, two boys and two girls.
Does your husband make jokes for you
at home?
Yes. He makes me happy. If you are with him, you
would be laughing and smiling all the time.
Does Okon Lagos ever get serious at home?
Of course, he acts like a normal person. You guys
had to postpone your honeymoon because of your
school and his work.
Where would you be honeymooning, when
you are ready?
We are planning to go to the United Kingdom for
our honeymoon.
