Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar has re-affirmed her stance on marriage, saying
it’s overrated and emphasizing that she has no immediate plans to get married.
Explaining her perspective in a recent interview with Encomium, she said, ‘Marriage
has been overrated. It’s unnecessarily over rated. It’s just too much of
headache with how things are now. Even ordinary relationship is a huge burden,
huge headache and heartbreaking, let alone marriage. When you can’t stand each
other as boyfriend and girlfriend, how would you live together under the same
roof when you get married?
She continues
to say, ‘People need to know themselves seriously.
When I say seriously, I mean spiritually before getting married. People only
know themselves physically, not spiritually, so they end up getting bored with
each other. And they will say they don’t want to get divorce because of what
society would say after investing so much on the marriage.
‘They
stay in that marriage and later it may become very irritating and they start
fighting. Before they know it, everything becomes violent. You hear people say
all sorts of things. You’re the one who allowed people to get to you and start
telling you you’re getting old. You’re the one allowing them to convince you
that you’re getting old, you need to get married. Everyone will surely get old.
Who won’t get old? So, when people say I am getting old, get married, I would
tell them that’s the only thing they know. People carry marriage like a flag’.
Asked if it
means she’s not going to get married, she said;
‘No,
people should only try to be nice about marriage to make me interested in it.
Don’t tell me actresses don’t stay in marriage. Olu Jacobs and Joke Silva have been married for long and they’re still in the marriage.
Nothing happened to their union. Omotola and her husband have been married for long; they’re still very
much together. She got married at a young age which is good. What I am trying
to say is that going into marriage needs a lot; you don’t just go into it. My
elder sister got married at 26 and she’s doing fine in the marriage with her
husband. Now, tell me why won’t I want a family like that? But these days,
people are just too much into social media, that’s why marriages are crashing.
Marriage these days is not based on happiness and genuine love. Let me ask, who
is that poor person that has married a billionaire son? So, why won’t marriage
crash when it’s not based on happiness and genuine love?
