Olateju Oyelakin, popularly known as Teju Babyface, and his adorable wife, Oluwatobiloba, are one extremely happy couple right now. Those who have seen them lately say they are over the moon with joy and are simply too excited to pay attention to any other thing other than the incredible gift that just arrived their home.
A couple of weeks ago, the good news broke that Teju and his wife, Tobi, who have been married for close to 6 years finally welcomed their first babies, a set of twins. Expectedly, everyone who knows the incredibly talented Teju and his sweetheart screamed joyfully for them.
In a recent interview with city people the talk show host and celebrated mentor and motivational speaker revealed how he met his wife and why he loves her so much it would be difficult for him to consider cheating on her.
You have been married for about six years now, how would you say marriage has changed you?
Marriage has taken away most of my indiscipline and has helped me to keep it on a strong leash. I was telling somebody yesterday that the reason why I try to be a faithful husband is not because I am holier or more righteous than most, there are several reasons. One of them is because I lack a sense of proportion, that is because I really don’t know how to do things in moderation. If I was a drinker, I would probably be drinking excessively.
But thank God alcohol doesn’t hold any interest for me. If I was a smoker I’ll probably smoke excessively. What I did do was that I liked to hang out with girls, which I did excessively. What marriage has done for me is that it’s allowed me to keep my focus on God by keeping my focus on one woman. Nature abhors a vacuum, so I couldn’t have been the kind of man I desired to be without a wife. Having a wife has helped me to try to be that disciplined person amongst all other things. Marrying a good woman also helps you develop greatly. In my lowest moments sometimes, my wife looks at me and just says to me some really wonderful things.
You seldom hide your love and admiration for your wife, you always talk about her on air. Share with us the first thing that struck your mind when you first saw her.
(Smiles) This girl is fine, that’s what I said to myself. I like that she was beautiful in the kind of way that I like women to be beautiful. If I had to take a pencil and draw a beautiful woman, I would draw her almost exactly like my wife. But I guess what I was seeing was not only how she looked outwardly, I guess what I was seeing more was what I was seeing through her eyes. Because she behaved exactly the way I expected somebody who looked like her to behave when I spoke to her. She didn’t give me the time of day. She just blew me off.
She wasn’t fazed by the fact that you are a celebrity or something?
(He shakes head) It was like she didn’t even know me. I almost said that, ah, don’t you know me? The second time I saw her as well, it was the same thing. She also didn’t give me the time of the day. And then, one day I saw her again. She was also involved in the entertainment industry on the fringes. She was doing make –up, so we were bumping into each other once in a while. So, this fourth time, I bumped into her again and she was suddenly very nice. I was like, what has changed? And from there, the rest, as they say, is history.
Tell us the three things that you admire the most about your wife
I like that she’s a child of God. And I don’t say that to pass her off as a church going person, though she goes to church a lot. She has a relationship with God. One day, we were somewhere with my mum where anybody who greeted my mum, mum went, God bless you in Jesus name. Jesus! Jesus! To which my wife said, momsie, sha, Jesus! Jesus! Every time. And I looked and said, don’t you know that you’re the same? Don’t you know this is how you would actually end up? Don’t you know your own children too would be saying this about you? She said, really?
I said, you don’t know? That everything out of your mouth is thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus! That’s my wife. So, I like that she’s a daughter of God in that sense. She actually has a relationship with Him and that forms the basis for everything. My wife doesn’t like fight. In fact, it’s one of the things she won my heart with when we were dating. No matter who was at fault, she would always apologize
