Veteran comedian and actor Okechukwu Onyegbule, popularly known as Okey Bakassi, and his wife, Ezinne, are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary.

The couple marked the milestone with a video collage of themselves and their three children, shared on social media.

The comedian expressed gratitude for their three children, their health, and the strength to navigate a changing world.

Appreciating his wife, he thanked her for saying yes 25 years ago, for her belief, sacrifices, and for helping him find direction.

He wrote:
"We met in 1988, a few love letters later we became friends. The pursuit of higher education pulled us apart, but destiny brought us back together. On the 1st of September 2001, in the city where we met and fell in love (Port Harcourt), we exchanged marital vows, supported by family and friends. God has blessed us with three lovely young adults, kept us in good health and has seen us through a turbulent world that is always changing."

"We are not chasing records or trying to prove people wrong. We are just living our lives and showing ourselves that we made the right decision…in love, trust, faith and humility."

"Zizi, my darling wife, thanks for saying YES 25yrs ago…thanks for believing, thanks for staying, thanks for helping me find direction, thanks for your sacrifices. Please, let's do another 25yrs and beyond….you know me as no one does. I love you forever. Happy 25th anniversary, Zizi."
