Marriage is not a do or die affair. While some yearn for it, few others detest it as some enjoy their independence as single ladies, especially among celebrities.
For those that yearn for it, maybe they haven’t met the right persons for them. Here are the top Nollywood spinsters.
We hope and pray for them to find their right men soon.
1 FRANCA BROWN- I’m Ready For Marriage But It Hasn’t Come My Way
Star
actress Franca Brown recently talked about her single status at over 40
and her readiness to get married if marriage comes her way. Franca has a
cute daughter though.
Speaking to Vanguard recently, she responded thus:
Don’t you believe in marriage?
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.
But are you ready for the asking?
Why not! As a woman I am ready.
Does it mean there is no man in your life?
That’s not for public discussion.
2 CHINYERE NWABUEZE
The Abia born plus sized actress has been engaged since 2009 but hasn’t walked down the aisle.
Hopefully, she will soon do.
3 BIMBO AKINTOLA: I Can’t Be Forced Into Marriage; I Don’t Need a Husband
43
year old Bimbo Akintola has always retreated that she is not looking
for a husband and cannot be forced into marriage because of societal
pressure.
So,what is the worst rumour you’ve heard about yourself?
Oh,
that I’m looking for a husband, that I’m desperate for a husband.
That’s the worst I’ve heard and that’s the latest one. I’m not looking
for a husband and I don’t need one.
You don’t need one?
I
don’t need anything. I’m a complete person. I only do things that make
me happy, because I believe and I understand the reality that this is
just one life and you should live it to the maximum, happiness and peace
should be the key. I’m not searching for a husband, because the rumour
that I’m searching for a husband has given me wahala,- all kinds of
people from left, right and centre, looking for me saying they want to
marry me. Please, I’m using this opportunity to tell everybody, I am not
looking for a husband!
4 RITA DOMINIC- It’s Not By Choice That I’m Unmarried
38
year old beautiful and petite actress had disclosed that she will
settle down once she meets the right person and that she didn’t choose
to be single at 38.Hopefully, our dear Rita will soon find that right
man.
5 ADA AMEH- I Will Get Married Some Day
40 year old plus sized actress, Adah Ameh who had a baby at age 14 out of wedlock is yet to tie the knot.
The actress talked about her single status last year to Punch. Excerpt:
Has your marital status changed now?
Ada Ameh is still very much single. I believe I will get married some day. I don’t know when, but I will be married.
How come you are not married yet?
Am I ugly? I am beautiful. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. When the time for marriage comes, it will happen.
Could it be your size that has delayed your marriage?
No
way! I am like Mount Zion, I can never be shaken. Some men love them
big. If you throw your left arm, you will touch flesh, you throw the
other arm, you will touch flesh. The impression that actresses hardly
get married or stay in marriages is wrong. We are human beings like
every other person in any other profession. This is what we do for a
living. You wouldn’t say a banker is not good for marriage since her
profession requires her coming home late. Some people are late starters
while some others are early starters. Maybe you will qualify me as late
starter in marriage. The most important thing is that I will get married
some day.
6 BENITA NZERIBE- I Can Even Marry a Wheel Barrow Pusher
When asked why she is yet to get married, actress Benita Nzeribe said:
“If
I have to say the truth, marriage is not all about money or the little
things of life. We should marry for real love. That is why I see myself
as being able to marry whoever I am in love with, no matter his status
in life.”That is to say,even if the guy is a wheelbarrow pusher, I would
marry him so long as my heart is with him.”
7 ANGELA PHILIPS- I’m Waiting For a God-Fearing Man.
The beautiful and busty ‘Peacemaker’ star actress talked about her single status to Vanguard last year. Excerpt:
Are you not thinking of settling down?
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 in one.
8 EJIRO OKURAME- I’ve Not Found The Right Man
Ejiro spoke to the Sun last year on marriage:
So, you are in a relationship now?
Yes, I am seeing my boyfriend.
What attracted you to him?
His
composure and understanding makes him different. Generally, he is that
kind of a man that understands the nature of my work. If I want to go
anywhere, all he needs is for me to tell him where I am going to work.
You are not getting younger. When is he taking you down the aisle?
You will get the invite soon; I am old enough to get married and have children.
What kept you long from getting married?
What kept me long was that I had not found the right man.
9 GENEVIEVE NNAJI- I’m Scared of Divorce; I Need a Catholic Man
Nollywood
actress, Genevieve Nnaji, revealed in a recent interview that she is
still single because she is afraid of divorce and she has the desire to
stay married for long.
Genevieve explained that she was born and
raised Catholic and she doesn’t believe in divorce.”If I get married, I
really want to stay married and staying married is not an easy thing. It
means you are completely in tune with your partner. It means you have
found your soul mate because you will have to be able to stand a lot of
disappointments that would definitely come but then again you have to
learn to forgive,” she said.
10 HALIMA ABUBARKAR- Nobody Can Pressurize Me Into Marriage
35
year old Halima has this to say about not been married yet:“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.
Myparents 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.”
11 EMPRESS NJAMAH- Marriage is Not on My Mind Now
She
says she can never contemplate dating a poor man, let alone consider
getting married to one. When she was asked recently to talk about
marriage,she discounted the issue with a wave of the hand, saying,
“Please, marriage is not the thing on my mind right now”.
She
went further to say “I can’t marry my colleague! Boring living in the
same house with someone you know his job so well as well as his income!
Should you be more popular or get richer than the man, then you are in
trouble as this could be dangerous. If you are on six figures and his is
on less, there is trouble. Men and their egos!”.
12 NKIRU SILVANUS- I Don’t Mind Being a 2nd Wife
Nkiru
Sylvanus, has declared that she can hook a married man for marriage if
the need arises.Sylvanus, while speaking on Sunrise, a morning belt
programme on Channels TV, said: “I’ve said it before that if ladies
don’t stop this nonsense they call ‘one-man-one-wife’, many of them will
get to 40 and still remain single.
“There are more women than
man.“Go to churches, the number of single ladies is in most cases is
three times the number of single guys.“And some the guys are even
jobless.“No good jobs.“Well, some ladies are beginning to realise their
folly and one of them has taken the lead to break away from the craze.”
The
former aide of the Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha,
reiterated further that if the first wife would not make trouble and she
is ready to make the man happier, she can consider being a second wife.
In her words: added: “If the situation and the person is good, I would go for it.
13 RUKKY SANDA- I Can Even Marry One Who Has No Religion
30 year old Rukky granted this interview to Bellanaija 2 years ago:
Let’s talk about more romantic stuff now. What do you think about marriage?
Marriage
is a beautiful thing. If you find somebody to wake up with you every
single morning, someone that wants to spend the rest of their life with
you, that’s wonderful.
ls marriage on your radar now?
Right
now, I’m not even dating. Not at all. I’m dating this work that I’m
doing now. I’d probably be the worst person in a relationship at this
point in time.
As a Muslim, can you marry someone not practicing the same religion as yours?
What is my business? I can marry anybody. I can even marry someone that has no religion.
14 TONTO DIKEH- I Have No Plans For Marriage; I Only Regret Not Having a Child Yet.
15 EBUBE NWAGBO- I’m Scared Of Divorce
About me being single
Yes
I am still single. The reason is that I am someone who has always
believed in love. It is a big deal to me so if I have to do it, it has
to be right.I am a strong believer of love. I get lots of proposals; it
is so crazy I do not know who to give a chance to. I think it is a price
I have to pay for stardom. Sometimes when anybody comes my way, I do
not know who wants to be with me for the right reasons. I believe when
that day comes, I will definitely figure out who that person is. It is
not easy. What I should be talking about is not relationship but
marriage. I want to go into marriage and be in it for ever. No one goes
into marriage thinking of divorce, but it happens. We try our best. I
think I am kind of scared, but I just have to give it a try whether I
like it or not. It just has to happen and happen right; at the right
time.
16 YVONNE JEGEDE- Mr Right Hasn’t Come My Way
Are you not planning to get married?
When the time comes, I will get married. I have never given it a thought.
It’s
not about thinking, it is about the right person coming my way. Many
ladies have been thinking about settling down for years now, but Mr.
right has not come their way.
You are saying that Mr. right has not come your way?
Let’s take it like that. I don’t even have any relationship right now.
Why is it that most actresses do not want to get married?
How do you mean?
Do
you think that a lady would decide to remain single. As a woman, she
still needs a man. If you do not have a man in your life, it is so bad.
She can never be a happy woman.
