‘Flaunting My Wife On Social Media May Affect My Marriage’ – Jigan

Kazeem Abimbola, popularly known as Jigan Babaoja, has said he will never flaunt his wife on social media. Jigan noted that he married his wife for himself and not the world.

“I don’t fancy putting
pictures of my wife on social media because it may put my marriage into
trouble. For instance, if I had something to do with another lady, the
fact that I posted my wife’s picture on Instagram may prompt the other
lady to cause trouble between me and my wife. My wife is not meant for
the world; she is meant for only me and my children,” he said.

Jigan
was recently involved in what seemed like a heated argument between
himself, Funsho Adeolu and Kevin Ikeduba. Most of his fans thought the
fight was real, until Jigan came out to state that it was just a prank.
When asked about the motivation behind the supposed argument, he said he
came up with the prank to attract traffic to his page.

“As an
actor, I am supposed to make anything look as believable as possible. I
contacted Kevin and I told him to act like the fight was real; so that
was why he replied me in an angry tone via his Instagram page.
Interestingly, it went viral and people were calling to know what
happened but it was just a prank.

“As a comedian, I have to do
things differently. I had to take the video down because Nigerians took
the video too seriously; that was why I came out quickly to clear the
air that it wasn’t real. I wanted to make it trend for a week, but it
couldn’t stand for that long. I wanted it to be a video challenge
similar to the 10-year challenge that trended recently. I only wanted
traffic on my page. I am a very calm and respectful man,” he told
Saturday Beats.

Speaking on the notion that actors in the Nigerian movie industry live fake lives, Jigan blamed the problem on competition.

“Whatever
life I have chosen to live has to be appreciated. I have told God that I
don’t want too much money, I just want to be comfortable. I am not in
competition with anybody. There is a lot of competition in the industry
and the people involved do not need it,” he said.
