Nollywood veteran Bimbo Akintola has openly shared her reasons for choosing to remain unmarried, despite societal pressures to settle down.
Speaking candidly about the complexities of relationships and marriage, Akintola, now fifty, offered an honest glimpse into her journey through love, heartbreak, and self-discovery.
She passionately expressed her views on marriage, making it clear that she is in no hurry to tie the knot.
Speaking with her colleague Emmanuel Ehumadu, known as Labista, Bimbo delved deep into her personal experiences, shedding light on her perspective on love, relationships, and the institution of marriage.
When asked about her plans to tie the knot anytime soon, Bimbo didn’t hold back. Drawing from her past experiences, she expressed that the scars of heartbreak have shaped her current views on commitment.
With an unflinching honesty, she articulated her reluctance to embark on the journey of marriage again with a man who isn’t fully ready to embrace the lifelong vows that come with it.
For Bimbo, the sanctity of marriage has been compromised in today’s world, where many couples seem to falter under the weight of commitment.
The 54-year-old veteran firmly stated that she has no interest in making a “forever” commitment to anyone who isn’t equally invested in that vision.
Labista, curious about her beliefs regarding marriage, pressed further, asking if she still holds faith in the institution.
Without hesitation, Bimbo affirmed her belief in marriage as a beautiful and sacred union. However, she expressed her disillusionment with how it is often approached today.
