In a candid recent Instagram post that has fans nodding in recognition and some laughing in disbelief, the outspoken activist laid bare the 'secret' to his enduring marriage to Lady Diane (Lady D). Far from portraying it as a made-in-heaven romance, Charly Boy described it as constant, deliberate effort, stating that it is the kind that requires championship-level skill.
He wrote, 'When people see me and my wife of over 46yrs, dem go think say we are stupidly in Love. Some go say, 'Dis na how I want my marriage to be' referring to our longevity.
'True true, no marriage is 'made in heaven'. I emphasize that successful unions require hard work, commitment, and cultivation on Earth, no union is divinely perfect from the start. Marriage is a fragile thing dat can easily crack. lt is something built through effort, not just found.'
'Make una no dey look us like say we are free of problems ooooo. As I dey so, am a champion manager, even when sometimes wey I no dey feel am again, I keep pushing.'
