Nollywood actor, Paul Obazele, is not a new name in the Nigerian movie industry as he could be said to be as old as the industry having featured in many outstanding and award winning movies in the money spinning industry.
The actor speaking about his wife in a recent interview with Sun newspaper, confessed that his initial plan was to have an affair with her and walk away for turning down his check in bank which was post dated.
Paul explained that on the faithful day he went to the bank, what got him angry despite the fact that she turned down the payment because of the date was that he felt bad when she offered to lend him money while smiling at him then he had to ask her out but his plans was dashed afterwards.
In his words, “My wife is a banker. I met her on one of the days I was hard up; I went to the bank with a cheque given to me by Chico Ejiro. I got to the bank with a post-dated cheque that I didn’t know it was post-dated, but I thought I could swing it with my star status. And my friends who accompanied me said: ‘that girl wey dey there no dey hear word; she is a very stubborn girl’. But I accosted her and she told me ‘no’, even while saying that, she was laughing. Then she told me that if I wouldn’t mind, she would lend me some money. At that point, I stood up angrily and stormed out of the bank. As I left, I said to myself: ‘I’ll teach you what stars do. I will sleep with you and scram’. So I came back, toasted her and lured her in. But she said ‘if your plan is to sleep with me then you won’t’. (Laughs) Like joke, we became friends and today we are married!”
