My Husband’s Calling As Shepherd Almost Broke Our Marriage – Nollywood Actress, Bidemi Kosoko

Yoruba Nollywood actress, Bidemi Kosoko, has opened up about how her husband’s calling as Shepherd in a church almost broke their marriage.

There are reports that the movie star, in an interview with her colleague, Biola Adebayo, on her YouTube show, said she didn’t meet her husband as a shepherd and seeing herself as the wife of a pastor is something she was not prepared for.

She said, “It is not like I married too late. I got married at 32. I have always loved the idea of getting married at 25 and 26, by that 32, I am supposed to be done having kids at 32 then face my life and career. My husband is a shepherd in his church, this has been his calling . I didn’t marry him as a shepherd and this is something that almost broke our marriage because I don’t see myself in that Pastor’s wife shoe.”

Speaking on her mother’s death, Bidemi said she lost her mother at age 6, which affected her growing up and knowledge about puberty.

She said, “I lost my mum when I was 6. She died in 1992. When I started menstruating, I couldn’t tell anybody. I cut pieces of clothes to package myself, not because there was no money to buy the sanitary pad but because I refused to speak out.

“If I had a mom, she would have noticed definitely. Of course, it wasn’t easy growing up without a mum but I thank God for the father I have.

“My name is Abidemi because my dad wasn’t around when my mum had me. He was in London for a performance or show.”
