    OC Ukeje and wife relationship

    We will not imagine or try to figure out an explanation for why this two live apart. We'll rather let you read their own words.

    Here are some of the most crucial quotations about their separate married life:

    • Comments of OC Ukeje to Sunday Scoop: “Before we got married, we had conversations about distance. We keep in touch so that we know what we are both up to. Communication is vital in every relationship. We have a good one and that is what really matters. For us distance is not an issue and it has many elements other than my job. Marriage has been interesting. We have been able to make a long distance work. I have also learnt a lot in the process and this has made me a happy man I intend for it to stay that way. As an adult, you make choices and you must have thought about them, especially something like marriage. So, I don`' think I made a wrong choice on any front. Marriage has more to do with the individual. Marriage is about understanding, making compromises and companionship. And I don’t think that I have ever mentioned that my wife does not understand my job.”

    • In an interview with HIP TV, OC Ukeje explained why they live apart: “It’s purely circumstantial and the reason I say this is because I think that for every upwardly mobile person or people at some point in your life you are going to have to deal with distance with your partner. Whether at the upstart of a relationship or in the middle or somewhere much later you will experience it. So I know it is a shock for people to say that you get married and that you start doing long distance. First of all because of our work choices, and our current positions as far as work is concerned. So it benefits us both for now to be where we are, and then over the next couple of months, and months can vary. It will begin to add up and then how to unify household will come in play.”
