Written by Vanguard’s Juliet Ebirim
The dream of every woman is to find a man to
spend her entire life with. Even the Holy
religious books have enjoined men and women, to
seek each other out and cohabit as man and
wife. But as beautiful and simple as this may
sound, marriage has long gone from being a
simple item on a menu, it has become a task, as
finding a true life partner has become very
difficult for many big girls.
It is particularly more difficult for the ladies
because most men want to marry a humble
woman.
The list of Nollywood ladies who are not married
is long from Rita Dominic to Genevieve, Bimbo
Akintola, Benita Nzeribe, Halima Abubakar,
others. Why are men not ready to marry these
fine girls?
As liberated as our society is now, it is hard to
find a woman that would go out of her way to
propose to a man. The norm is the other way
round. So, for a woman, waiting to get a
marriage proposal may me as certain as waiting
for the proverbial hen to play a golden egg. It
doesn’t have to do with beauty, wealth or
status, or else all the Nollywood divas would
have been long married before they hit their
30s.
Why are these ladies single in spite of their
relative affluence and beauty? Meet some of
Nollywood singles in their 30s, 40s still single and
why:
I am not under pressure to get married—
Halima Abubakar
Halima Abubakar is one actress that is well
endowed physically, but is yet to get married.
Hear her:”I don’t know why people always seem
to be putting pressure on others to get
married. When the marriage doesn’t work out,
they will be the first to criticize you.
My
parents are not pressurising me to get married;
my family is not pressurising me to get married
either. So, I don’t see why I should let anyone
pressurise me into marriage.”
marriage — Franca
Brown
Popular Nollywood thespian, Franca Brown
recently spoke about her single status and her
readiness to get married if marriage comes her
way. The actress who is over 40 has a daughter.
Speaking to Vanguard recently, she said “I
believe in marriage. I was born into a home, I
have a father and a mother. But marriage has
not come my way, and I don’t think it’s yet a
challenge to me. When it comes my way, it
comes. As a woman I am ready for marriage”.
When any good man comes along – ANGELA
PHILIPS
The beautiful and busty ‘Peacemaker’ star
actress talked about her single status to
Vanguard recently. Her words “If any good man
comes to marry me and I like the person, why
not? Maybe the ones coming are the wrong
ones. I will like to marry a God fearing man, a
trustworthy person, a friend who will be like my
brother, father and husband. Everything rolled
into one”.
I have not found the right man— Ejiro Okurame
Beautiful Delta State born actress, Ejiro
Okurame spoke about her marital status
recently. “I am old enough to get married and
have children. What has kept me single this long
is the fact that I have not found the right
man”.
Qualify me as a late starter in marriage — Ada
Ameh
40 years old plus-sized actress, Adah Ameh is
still single though she has a grown up daughter
who she had at 14. The actress talked about her
single status in a newspaper interview.
“I am
still very single. I believe I will get married
some day. I don’t know when, but I will be
married. I am beautiful. I am fearfully and
wonderfully made. When the time for marriage
comes, it will happen. Some people are late
starters while some others are early starters.
Maybe you will qualify me as a late starter in
marriage. The most important thing is that I
will get married some day.”
