"Getting married to someone in the same industry is not bad"

During a brief chat with Legit.ng, social media expert, Oluwatobi, submitted that being married to someone from the same industry can significantly help build the union.

"Getting married to a fellow cast member can go wrong which is evident. However, getting married to someone in the same industry is not bad at all. It should even help you understand yourselves basically. We have also had people in successful relationships in the same industry, it is just that ashawo dey people eye for the movie industry," he said.

Speaking about his experience, the married social media expert disclosed that he isn't in the same industry as his wife and it makes their union even more interesting.

"I'm not in the same industry as my partner and I think it sort of makes the relationship interesting as we always have gist relating to our work that we can always talk about instead of having the same stories that we have heard and discussed already at work."
