“Don’t bring your low times on social media. It is a recipe for disaster. Don’t overexpose your family on social media. However, if there are some positives about your life you want to share with the public, put them there. But putting your downtime on social media will ruin whatever beautiful thing you have with your wife. Don’t allow social media people to be the judge and jury of your life.”

He went on to say,

“Social media people were not there when you guys started. When both of una quarrel, na una go settle am.”

Managing public life separate and private life

Tony noted during the discussion that being able to keep his public life separate from his private life has been one of the reasons why his marital life has flourished.

Patsy, Umez’s wife, also spoke on this topic and here’s an excerpt of her comment below:

“First, I would say the marriage has survived and waxed stronger only by God’s grace. Also, the truth is God gave me my own husband. He is a good man, and he is a faithful man. We’ve been married now for over 24 years and friends for 29 years. We’ve come a long way. Our capacity to understand and support each other has been our greatest secret.”
