In the emotional interview, Tito Harrison noted that his wife, Tayelolu, is the luck he has in life. According to him, if he comes back to this world again, he would love to marry her.

The Nollywood actor went on to explain how he had to sell everything he had because they could no longer pay his hospital bills. He added that his wife, Taye, encouraged him to sell their house because they needed to keep him alive.

In his words:

“The luck I had was my wife, Tayelolu Ejire. It’s good to have a good wife in life. If I come back to this life, I will marry my wife again. Everybody left me but that woman stood. We sold everything we had. When we couldn’t pay hospital bills, my wife said ‘baby, let’s sell the house, we need you. The head that provided that one will provide another one.”

Also, during the interview, Tito Harrison described his wife as a mother. According to him, all it takes is for a woman to decide to live and perish with her husband.

The ailing actor went on to recount times that his wife would give the children money from her pocket and tell them to thank him, claiming that he provided the funds. According to him, his wife, Taye, is Godsent.

Tito Harrison said:

“She was a mother. If you have a wife that has decided to live and perish with you, that woman will take money and give to the children and tell them to come and thank me, your daddy gave me to give you. Oh God, if Taye wasn’t in my life, how would I have survived? I don’t know. She was Godsent.”

The Nigerian actor explained that his wife said that when things were rosy and he had money, he took care of her.
