What is your take on divorce?
Divorce is a borrowed and useless trend from the Western world. When you relate with a woman and that union brings forth children, then you are united for life with or without a certificate. The divorce trend is myopic and a temporarily relief to a lifelong reality. I don’t believe in divorce.

Would you marry someone richer than you?
I would marry anyone who has the qualities I look for, in a woman. She must be attractive, intelligent and virile.

I enjoy nature and wild. Leisure is a privilege I rarely get, but when I do, I go camping and while at it, I read a lot. Secondly, I get an opportunity to catch-up with friends I have not seen in a long time.

Would you go with your wife to the labour suite?
I have always gone to the labour ward with my wife. I have witnessed the delivery of all our children. I even participate in the cutting of the code to separate the baby from the mother. The labour ward has taught me to adore women. It has made me a better man.

What irritates you most about women and why?
