How I Saved My Marriage – Yoruba Actress Mide Martins Reveals

By
According to source
Actress Mide Martins who got into a social media drama over issues in her marriage months back had an interesting chat with Punch on her the saga, her career and more. Enjoy:
Marriage
My husband and I grew up together.
He was actually my mother’s manager and I used to call him Brother Afeez. We have always been friends. When I had a problem with my husband some months back, I prayed to God and we are now fine. Our relationship is free from any kind of problems. My husband is the best man in the world and he has always been there for me.
Scandals
Scandals are part of the challenges we face as artistes.
Background
I attended Community Grammar School, Ibadan for my elementary education and Providence Heights Secondary School, Fagba, Lagos, for my post-primary education. I have a diploma in International Relations from Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye.
Acting
I started acting after my mum, Funmi Martins, died in 2002. The journey was not easy, but I give God all the glory. I never wanted to be an actress. After my mum died, I started acting so people won’t forget her. After a while, I became fond of it. I love acting so much, and I think I would have missed a lot if I had chosen to do something else. I think acting is like a spirit and it is in you, that’s it. Only a few people have the ability to interpret roles perfectly.
Challenges
My most challenging role till date was when I played a mad person. The title of the movie wasMafikanmi. It was quite challenging but I prayed about it and I was able to pull it off. It has also not been easy balancing marriage and career. I have to juggle going to locations and running back to the house to take care of the kids and also cook for my husband.
Current projects
I’m currently working on a Yoruba-c*m-English movie and the title is Kokoro. Acting is all that I do now.

Speaker of the House of representatives, Yakubu Dogara, today said the truth regarding the allegations of budget padding leveled against him and some other lawmakers by sacked Chairman of the House committee on Approrpiation, Abdulmumin Jibrin. He said this in his welcome speech to the House of Representatives members “The events of the recent weeks give cause for grave concern and pose existential threats to the corporate integrity and image of the House as a democratic institution designed by the Constitution to play a vital role in our nation’s governmental system. Shortly after we adjourned for the recess, our colleague and erstwhile Chairman Appropriation Committee, embarked on a strange propaganda clearly aimed not only at the destruction of the image of some members but a systematic destruction of the institution of the House of Representatives and indeed the legislature by portraying it to the public as an irredeemably corrupt institution.
