| Toyin Adewale and husband. |
In an industry where there is so many broken marriages and single mothers/fathers,it is remarkable that Toyin Adewale the popular Yoruba Nollywood movies actress has been able to celebrate 20 years of marriage...on asked about how she has stayed married for so long she said:“Let me correct one notion. The industry does not support broken marriages. I think our ladies in the movie industry should just learn to be tolerant because marriage is
all about tolerance. If you don’t have that heart to overlook things, if you cannot tolerate things, if you cannot just let bygone be bygone, you cannot keep a home. I think that is the problem of our young women nowadays says the 47 year old actress.”
