Nollywood veteran Toyin Adewale says marriage isn’t a do-or-die thing for her—she’ll only walk away if there’s domestic violence, not over everyday misunderstandings. Married since January 1993, she and her husband Sunday have three children, including singer Mayorkun. She also recalls her early acting days in 1988, when her first ₦5,000 job led to performing before the president. As the lastborn of a four-wife household, she praises her disciplinarian father for planning his funeral arrangements to protect his children from stress when he passed.
