Love is Sweet!
In a recent interview with Punch,
sensational singer Timi Dakolo and his pretty wife Busola shared the secret of their
amazing love; how they met and what has kept them glued to each other since
they got married in 2012 with three kids, in an era many celebrity couples are
competing for divorce.
Read and excerpt from Punch....after the cut
How
they met each other?
Timi:
We met at the House on the Rock
church. I was not searching then, but simply minding my own business when I
spotted her. I was standing behind the choristers on the podium when I sighted
this fine girl. I went to speak to her by asking her why she was frowning in
church. I remember saying, ‘Hi, my name is Timi Dakolo,’ and she said, ‘and
so?’ You would not believe that she gave me a fake number and I started
searching for her every Sunday until I finally caught up with her and
challenged her for giving me a wrong number. It was my lucky day because that
was how we started talking. This was in 2010.
Busola:
I gave him my genuine phone
number but he thought it was a wrong one. Unfortunately, my phone got missing
that day. After service, he followed us in a car to know where I was staying
and later on, he kept coming to the house.
Why
she didn’t attend to him on the first day?
Busola:
I was not in a good mood that
day. I went to church with a dampened spirit. I agreed to attend the service
that day because I was encouraged to do so; it wasn’t just a good day for me.
How
did the courtship fare?
Timi:
Initially, she suggested that we
remained friends. I was afraid she could end up placing me in the ‘friend
zone.’ I begged her to allow us move beyond friendship to lovers but she
insisted. This was after more than a year. I patiently waited because I knew
what I wanted.
Busola:
We courted for two years and some
months. I never knew I could get married to someone in the entertainment
industry. I felt they were not serious-minded people.
Why
is Timi an exception?
Busola:
While he kept asking me out, I
realised he was different from other artistes. He turned out to be a wonderful
person.
If
They Had the conventional proposal?
Timi:
I went to visit her and then put
the ring in an empty plate of food. I was a little scared that she might say no
but at the same time, I was convinced it was time to do it.
Busola:
It happened early in the morning. He said he
wanted to make me breakfast in bed then he came with the plate covered and
stayed a few minutes. I wasn’t expecting anything more than noodles but he
opened the plate and brought out a ring.
What is
that thing you would love to change about each other?
Busola:
He stays on the phone for too
long. I want him to spend more time with me instead of being on the phone.
Timi:
She should be fast when we are
going out and apply her make-up hurriedly.
How
do you manage disagreements?
Busola:
We both apologise.
Timi:
Whoever is at fault apologises
first and more often than not, she does. I also do occasionally.
If
they run a joint account?
Busola:
No, we trust each other and don’t need to show
each other our bank statements.
Timi:
We don’t have joint account but
monthly budgets. We have different accounts for different things and support
each other financially
