Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has revealed that she has given up on marriage to focus on her career and spend time enjoying her life.
The mother of two posted on her Instagram page, that the next thing she needs now is just enjoyment.
The actress had stressed the relationship between her and Music producer Paul Okoye is only companionship and nothing like marriage is tied to it.
Iyabo Ojo in a recent interview claimed that marriage is overrated. She said her current partner does not believe in marriage as well.
“I am enjoying my relationship. I am enjoying it. Luckily for me, he [Paulo Okoye] also doesn’t believe in marriage. We feel like it is overrated,” Ojo said.
Meanwhile, some social media users who commented on her post disagreed, with one saying she is misleading ladies about marriage. She, however, insisted on her stance.
“I said I have done that character. It didn’t work for me, and I don’t want to go through that route again. I want to enjoy my life with my soul mate,” she said.
After two children in a failed marriage at the age of 21, she said she sees herself as a woman who already knows the in and out of marriage even though everyone has different ways of coping in marriage.
“It sounds funny but you know, there are different coping mechanisms because these days, marriage is not what it used to be when our parents got married.
“Marriage is a little bit muddled up now. And people are a little bit more individualistic than they used to be before. Nobody wants to serve anybody. Everybody wants to get their own. So, that’s where the problem starts.”
