    Comedian Bovi shares vital secret to stay married

    Veteran Nigerian comedian Bovi Ugboma has shared some vital secrets he employs to stay married.

    In a recent interview with media personality VJ Adams, the stand-up comedian, actor, and writer revealed how he doesn’t take himself seriously, adding that this doesn’t mean he doesn’t get pushed or worried, as he practices doing things one day at a time. 

    The award-winning comedian also emphasizes the role of luck in his marriage, stating that he believes most marriages are a result of luck before any planning comes into play. 

    The comedian stressed that he isn’t the type of person who will stay in a place that isn’t conducive, which is why he said he is lucky when it comes to marriage.

    He said, “One day at a time, and don’t take yourself too seriously. I am lucky when it comes to marriage. I think most marriages have to do with luck before any form of planning comes into play.

    “So, I think I am lucky. I have learned not to take things too personally, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get pushed or worried.

    “There is no perfect marriage but perfection comes from loving the imperfection. I am not the type of person who will stay in a place that isn’t conducive, so that’s why I said I am lucky to be where I am, but, for many years, I was doing this one thing at a time, and I am a giver by nature.

    “I am lucky to have her and her wanting to have me, and wanting to have each other and make it work.”

If you see this guy, tell him he’s my guy.’ And the following morning, everywhere exploded again. ‘We are not friends. We are not that. We are not this.’
