Yoruba movie star actor Afeez Abiodun says his wife, Mide Martins, is completely different from the character she plays on screen.
Abiodun, who has been married to Mide for nearly two decades, noted that while audiences may see her act as a tough and confrontational woman in movies, she is in reality calm and non-violent.
“She’s the opposite of what people see on TV,” he said in a recent interview. “I have never had any reason to separate her from fighting anyone on set. She would rather get into her car and drive off than engage in any fight.”
He further compared her to their colleague, actress Wunmi Toriola, whom he described as closer in real life to the no-nonsense roles she plays in films.
“Wunmi’s character is a bit similar to her role in movies,” he said. “If you don’t look for her trouble she won’t fight you, but if you trespass, she will act exactly as you see in movies.”

Afeez ‘Owo’ Abiodun, revealed how social media almost ruined his marriage.
Abiodun explained that the fight was “our first and last fight as a couple”.
Afeez Owo clarified that the incident began as a simple misunderstanding, which he admitted to handling poorly due to anger. He added that the situation, however, escalated dramatically when it spilt onto social media.
“The rumour of us splitting went viral. I think that time was the first and last fight we had as a couple. It was a lot, but we reconciled,” he said.

“That fight was just a misunderstanding. I was angry and didn’t handle it well. Later, I thought to myself, is this really how I want to let go of my marriage?
“Social media made the matter escalate even more. It was an issue we should have resolved ourselves, but it got online, and rumours started spreading that I had abandoned my family.
“The truth was that I only went to a hotel for two days because I was angry. When I saw that rumour on social media, I even decided to stay away for more days since I was already accused of leaving home. Eventually, she came to apologise, and we reconciled.”
