Nollywood actor Ibrahim Chatta, popularly known as Itele, and his wife, Aminat Omowunmi Yekini, have shared heartfelt insights about their marriage in a recent interview.
Speaking on Bimpe Akintunde’s talk show Iriri Mi, Aminat reflected on their decade-long relationship, recounting how they met during a challenging period in Itele’s life when he had little to his name. She revealed that despite his struggles, she believed in him and saw potential in his attitude and demeanor.
Aminat also shared how her friends used to mock her because of the modest car Itele drove at the time. However, her unwavering love and support for him were rooted in her faith in his character and dreams.
The couple’s story is a testament to love, patience, and mutual support, inspiring many fans and viewers.
She commended the Yoruba actor for possessing the ability of God, which keeps him rooted in reality and prevents him from straying. Aminat stated that he would stop Itele from doing anything immoral whenever he felt that God would be upset with him for it.
Aminat said that at first, she found it challenging to keep up, particularly given his frequent travels. She eventually adapted, though, and now wishes he was taking more trips.
“It’s been almost 10 years since we have been together.
It is by the grace of God, I keep my husband from being deceitful. Ibrahim is the kind of person who has a fear of God. So he doesn’t get involved in scamming girls.
When I met Itele, things weren’t rosy for him. Even with that, I stood by his side because I love him, and though I always said I wouldn’t marry a celebrity, I saw his attitude and behavior and saw he has a fear of God. If he wants to do something and remembers God would be angry with him for doing such, he would put a stop to it.
When we first started dating, it was difficult for me with his constant traveling for movie locations, and we would fight over it, but with time, I got used to it. I just wish he would leave.
To give him peace of mind, I overlook his relationship with some of his female fans.
I was very pompous in school, and my friends would laugh at me because of the car he was always using to pick me up, but I didn’t bother because I knew where I was going to”.
