Nigerian singer Iyanya has shared his views on marriage, emphasizing the importance of privacy and protecting one’s relationship from the public eye. During a guest appearance on The Kingz Corner podcast, Iyanya expressed his belief that marriage remains a sacred and beautiful institution despite the many negative examples often portrayed in the media.

“I know people who are happily married, not that they don’t have challenges,” Iyanya explained. “But I have watched them protect what they have. These days, people don’t protect what they have.”

He drew a parallel between safeguarding valuable possessions and protecting one’s marriage. “Isn’t it funny that these days people would buy gold for fifty thousand dollars and lock it up,” he said. “But you have someone that you love so much, and you can’t protect that person? You have to protect what you love.”

Iyanya stressed that not all happy marriages have a strong social media presence. “Some people who are happily married are not on Instagram,” he noted. “Some are, but they don’t post valuable moments. They cherish them.”

He cautioned against letting social media influence one’s perception of marriage. “Social media has a way of making people fearful about getting married,” Iyanya observed. “Two words, social and media. Is your marriage social? Marriage is a beautiful thing.”

Iyanya reminded listeners that finding the right person is paramount in a successful marriage. “The most important thing is to find someone who loves you,” he said. “Sacrifice for you.”

He concluded by encouraging individuals to focus on the positive aspects of marriage and not let negative examples deter them. “Don’t let bad marriages define your expectations or make you think you can’t have a good marriage,” Iyanya advised.
