A Nigerian clergywoman, Pastor Julie, has said that her 39 years of marriage has successful, because she decided to play the f00l.
In a video that has gone viral, the clergywoman said she had to play the fool in her marriage even when she was right, just to keep her marriage.
‘’I have come to realsie in this 39 years of being with my husband..I realised I had to play the fool for my marriage to work, playing the fool even when I know I am right’.

The man is claiming right, you are claiming right, it will not work”, she said.
She added that playing the fool doesn’t mean one is not wise but it means one should make the compromise to make the marriage work.
