According to her, despite her desire to settle down, she is unwilling to compromise her values or share a partner, stressing that she prefers a monogamous relationship.
She added that the pressure to marry at her age has been intense, but she remains firm in her decision.
Her words …
“I don’t want to be a problem to any marriage or any woman in this life. It’s not that I am not seeing husband, but the people I am seeing it’s better I remain single and even kpai single than get married to them. Because all the people I’ve been seeing are people that want me as their second wife. How can a young vibrant lady like me be a second wife. I’m 39 years but I don’t even look 39. It’s only when I tell people my age that they know my age. I know I’m getting old and I don’t have time, but I don’t want to turn 40 next year without a home.
That’s why I’m avoiding people; I don’t want to break any woman’s home…”
