The Girl I Sponsored To School Broke My Heart After 8-Years Of Relationship- Yemi Sax

Nigerian Saxophonist, and newly
married man, Yemi Sax has said he thanks God for his life and the woman God has
given to him to be his wife. Recalling what he went through in his last
relationship, Yemi said, the lady he practically took care of left him after 8
years. And even when the softsell reporter tried to say may be she left him because she
was more educated, Yemi was quick to deny it and said, no it wasn’t even that,
it was far from it. Lol… His words after the cut.

Before
you married your wife, I am sure a woman would have broken your heart; can you
tell me about the experience?

Of course I have had a long
relationship of like eight years that didn’t even work out. You know after
eight years I was heartbroken. A woman I gave my all to decided to mess the
privilege and brought my heart to great sorrow. It is not about being a star
really, my wife that I married right now had sworn with her life that she world
never marry an entertainer but man proposes and God disposes, even she knew
that it is by the grace of God that it all happened. Our ways at times are not
His ways. It is what God wants because she is a Corporate person, she is in the
corporate world. So, she doesn’t even have the time to go out and start dating
an entertainer but God called me her husband and she my wife. I give all thanks
to God for His benevolence.

The woman that broke your heart
after eight years, don’t you think she must have felt that she is more educated
than you and maybe saw you as a seep in her life?

I think at first, everything was
rosy but you know you can’t pretend for long. She was just there pretending I
think it was because of the things she was gaining from me and you know you
can’t pretend for long because character is like a flame it will always come
out eventually. So, it got to a time that her real personality manifested and
that was when the relationship came to an end.

So, you didn’t think it was as a
result of personality and educational difference?

Nooo, not at all; she is even
somebody I brought up. She is somebody I brushed up, I sent her to school. So,
it is not about being more educated than me or not, you understand what I mean.
I did everything to make her a success but she chose otherwise.

So, what did that episode teach
you about life?

I think it is a great lesson; I
will advise people not to expect too much from a fellow human. That is the way
you can live long, that is the way you can enjoy life; expect the worst from
others. So, that is my advice to people. It is my guiding philosophy as well. I
don’t think it is a good thing to put your trust in people. Instead, put your
trust in God who never disappoints.
