Actress and daughter of veteran actor Jide Kosoko, Adesola Kosoko-Abino in a recent interview with Tribune, talked about her life, career and marriage.
She got married to the love of her life last year!
On her marital life, the
32-year-old actress said, “Beautiful! I’m enjoying it. I don’t ever… Let
me emphasise it: I don’t ever, ever want to leave my marriage for
anything. That simply means that if anything wants to come between my
marriage and me, I would fight with the last drop of my blood. However,
“man proposes God disposes.” Everybody wants the best, but sometimes,
life could turn out badly for some. I pray that God preserves my
marriage.”
And then she narrated her beautiful love story....
"I met my prince charming a long time ago. We didn’t start anything. He asked me out and I rejected him. My reason was that I wanted to gain admission before anything else. I met him when he was writing his final examination in the university. That was way back in December 1999.

He went to the Yaba College of
Technology (YABATECH). I told him if he was really interested in me, he would
think of how I would get admission into the university, like he did. And I was
very poor, like most of us, in Mathematics. So, he would teach me Mathematics.
I was always failing mathematics. And you cannot get admission into higher
institution without passing Mathematics and English, at least at credit levels.
He taught me Mathematics until I passed it finally.
Did he also teach you mathematics in the bedroom?
Which bedroom? We were not even dating. Can someone teach you mathematics in the bedroom [laughs]? He really supported me during my tender and ignorant days. Sometimes I would be very discouraged and depressed about my inability to learn maths. He would encourage me. He encouraged me to have a diploma, after which I got a transfer to study Sociology in the university.

On her take on failed marriages in Nollywood, she said, “Well, like I said earlier, I don’t pray that my marriage should fail; but man proposes, God disposes. It might be my wish to have a car, while God intends for me to have a jet, and vice versa. What I am saying is that God knows best. I don’t want to believe that any married woman wishes that her marriage should fail; neither would any man marry with the intention of dissolving his marriage.
