Actor Chidi Mokeme Opens Up On Why He Lives Separately From Wife

Nollywood actor, Chidi Mokeme and his wife, Jean, have been living separately since they wedded in April 28, 2012. While Jean has remained in her US base, Chidi Mokeme still reside in Nigeria.
In a recent interview with Yes Magazine Chidi had this to say:

Well, when I met my wife, this was our default setting. Let me put it like that. Our default setting was that I live in Nigeria and my wife lives in America and then we started a relationship and decided to take the relationship further and decided we were gonna be man and wife. So, having taken that decision and having crossed that level, the next thing is to find a way to ease into a location. Everybody knows that you don’t just pack your bag and move in one day. There are things that need to be sorted, relocation needs to be sorted. So, we are taking our time with it. But then again, by virtue of my job, I have a pretty much very flexible timing. I own my time, I decide when to work, when not to work. So, really, I can be with my wife anytime, every time I so desire and it makes it easy. If I work 9-5, then we will always have to wait for when someone was on leave the whole year round, if I want, just to be with my wife.

Do you think it's ideal for a man to stay far away from his wife? for a marriage that is just two years old? Let's have your comment on this.
