Singer Omawumi hardly talk about her personal life, but in an interview published by Punch, she is telling it all, although she remains coy about her daughter.
Some excerpt from the interview below
Why did it take you so long before you and your husband tied the knot?
We wanted to make sure that we were getting married for the right reasons. That is the best way I can explain it. We were in love before we had a child together and we were still seeing each other after I gave birth to my first child. We wanted to be sure that we were truly in love because we really did not have time to get to know each other before I got pregnant. When I got pregnant, he did the manly thing by standing by me and supporting me. We did not want to get married until we were very sure that it was what we wanted. I would have felt bad if we got married because we have a child together and end up hating each other eventually. We had to be sure it would work out and I am very happy that it worked out.
How has married life been?
It has been wonderfully sweet. I don’t know how people expect it to be but I feel like I have been married for more than two years. We just did the ceremony so that people would not raise eyebrow at my second baby. I have technically been in a relationship that seemed like marriage for more than two years. I am blessed with a good and wise man. He is very caring and sensible. He is somebody that can behave like a baby today and a wise man tomorrow. He is a total package. He is very content and easy going. He does not say much.
Is your daughter showing any trait of toeing your path?
That is nobody’s business.
Do you have any plans to remain relevant in the entertainment scene because your pregnancy could keep you preoccupied?
When I had my first child, I had time to organise myself and I also think it was by God’s grace. By the time I wanted to continue performing after my first child, I did not know it would be easy to be back in the spotlight. I am not a selfish person and I am very content with what God has allowed me to achieve so far. I don’t want to bother about being relevant in the entertainment scene because of my pregnancy because I know God would do it for me. I am still working. I have not rested since I got pregnant and I had to beg my manager to cancel some gigs so that I can rest.
So you still perform even though you are heavily pregnant?
I still perform a lot. It is a form of exercise and I can dance very well regardless of my big stomach. I can even do the split. Can’t you see Kaffy? She was dancing while pregnant. It helps me to keep fit. I am still working and it should not be much of a surprise because if you know the God you are serving, you should have confidence in whatever you do. The last song I released was in June, 2014. Before that, my album was released in 2013. By next month, my album would be two years old and I am still in demand. I am grateful to God for it. At the end of the day, it just shows that whoever God gives big teeth, he gives big lips to cover them. I would keep doing my thing and everything would work out for me. If things do not work out the way I planned them, then it is also God’s wish.
