Veteran Nollywood actress Toyin Adewale has revealed that marriage is not a do-or-die affair for her, stressing that domestic violence remains the only circumstance that could make her walk away from her union.
Speaking during an interview on actress Biola Bayo’s podcast, Adewale said she entered marriage with the determination to stay for life, provided there was no physical abuse.
The actress, who married her husband, Sunday Adewale, in January 1993 and welcomed singer Mayorkun two months later, said she has enjoyed 33 years of marriage built on patience and understanding.
According to her, minor misunderstandings are normal in relationships and should not automatically lead to separation.
Adewale also reflected on her acting journey, revealing that she began her professional career in 1988 and earned ₦5,000 for her first major performance.
She further shared details about her upbringing, describing her late father as a disciplined man who carefully prepared for his eventual passing.
