Actor Chidi Mokeme talks about why he and his wife live apart

In an interview with Yes! magazine this week, actor Chidi Mokeme explained why his wife, Jean Chinwe Olumba, who he married in 2012, lives in the US while he lives in Nigeria....
Well, when I met my wife, this was our default setting. Let me put it like that. Our default setting was that I live in Nigeria and my wife lives in America and then we started a relationship and decided to take the relationship further and decided we were going to be man and wife. So, having taken that decision and having crossed that level, the next thing is to find a way to ease into a location. Everybody knows that you don’t just pack your bag and move in one day. There are things that need to be sorted, relocation needs to be sorted. So, we are taking our time with it. But then again, by virtue of my job, I have a pretty much very flexible timing. I own my time, I decide when to work, when not to work. So, really, I can be with my wife anytime, every time I so desire and it makes it easy. If I work 9-5, then we will always have to wait for when someone was on leave the whole year round, if I want, just to be with my wife.

    TMI. It is working for them for now. They have enough money for the regular commute. Whaddahell. Only thing I can say is that having a husband living alone in Nigeria means you have to have regular gyne checks so that you don't rot. Sorry but that is all I gotta say for now. Maybe while you are at it, get the Gardasil vaccine. I think the future unknown side effects might be way better than a rotted pus.
