Aminat Omowunmi Yekini, the wife of Nollywood actor Ibrahim Yekini (Itele), has shared intimate details about their marriage and how they met. In a candid interview with Bimpe Akintunde on her talk show “Iriri Mi,” Aminat revealed that she has been with Itele for nearly a decade, despite his humble beginnings.
Aminat recalled how her friends would mock her due to the old car Itele used to drive, but she stood by him because of his good character and fear of God. She praised Itele’s commitment to his faith, stating that it keeps him grounded and prevents him from engaging in dishonest behavior.
The couple’s journey hasn’t been without challenges, particularly with Itele’s frequent travels for movie shoots. However, Aminat has learned to adapt and now even wishes he would travel more often.
Aminat’s story highlights the importance of looking beyond material possessions and focusing on a person’s character and values. Despite facing ridicule from her friends, she remained committed to Itele and has built a strong and enduring marriage with him.
