Wow! This justifies the adage "one man's meat is anothers poison" Halima Abubakar insists she's not interested in marriage, says it's overrated
The actress says she has no immediate plans to
be a Mrs, as there's no happiness or genuine love these
days. Speaking with Encomium magazine, 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?
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?
