My marriage… With Mrs Kehinde Okoroafor

Mrs Kehinde Okoroafor is the CEO of NextLevel Hair Manufacturer and founder of MakeMee Elegant Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to women empowerment. She is a woman of faith, committed to raising women and empowering people through various initiatives. Kehinde and her husband met at Société Générale Bank Nigeria, working together before their 27-year marriage began as a professional relationship.

Her parents had initial reservations about her marrying a Yoruba woman, but her husband's father eventually accepted her, and they have been together ever since. Kehinde has three daughters and twin sons, with one studying law and the other medicine. She attributes their long-lasting marriage to prioritizing God, fostering friendship, laughter, prayer, growth, communication, and forgiveness.

Kehinde advises younger couples to seek godly counsel, understand each other's values, and view marriage as a continuous commitment rather than just a ceremony. She emphasizes the importance of bringing God back into the home, engaging in family prayers, and seeking help when needed.
