My Wife And I Don' t live together- Chidi Mokeme

Fine man, Nollywood actor, Chidi Mokeme,  and wife, Jean celebrated their love with a beautiful wedding April, 28, 2012. And just like some other Nollywood couples, Chidi and wife live in different countries. In a new chat with Yes! magazine, he explained why they made that choice and how they cope with it.
Excerpts:
You got married years ago, how is married life treating you?
Oh! Very well! Very well!! I mean, it’s an experience that I’m still getting a grasp on and so far, so good.
How come you live in Nigeria and your wife, Jean lives in America? It’s a new marriage and both of you are supposed to be together…
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, my wife lives in America and then we started a relationship and decided to take the relationship further and decided we are gonna 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, everytime that I so desire and it makes it easy for us. If I was working a 9-5 and she was working a 9-5, then we will always have to wait for when somebody was on leave. But that’s not the case. I can be on leave the whole year round, if I want, just to be with my wife.
So, when are you people going to start making babies? And building a family…
Well, Azuh, if you are expecting me to tell you a secret now, you are not going to get the secret. But when the secret pops, you will be there (Laughing). When it drops, you will be there.  
So sorry guys, it's that work time of the week again.
