She makes a point of saying that she would do so if she ever found someone else. The very personal factors that led Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola to choose to stay unmarried have been disclosed.
In a recent interview with 3PLE Nolly TV, the actress talked candidly about her ex-boyfriend’s passing.
“He passed away. His passing is something I don’t discuss much. How much time did it take me to locate him? Long overdue, but he’s no longer with us,” she remarked.
Akintola emphasized that she doesn’t think getting married for the sake of getting married: “Why are you getting married if you’re not going to keep your word? The one who made me suitable to live forever has passed away. He is no longer there. You know how long it took me to find someone I knew I could stay with? I’m not saying you can’t have two or three loves in your lifetime.
When asked about her decision to remain unmarried, the actress said that, even with the guys she has dated, she has not seen someone she could marry.
She clarified, saying, “I believe I am too old to manage and claim I am doing something only to make other people happy. I am also too elderly to understand red signs when I see them. Those individuals are who? I should be married so that everyone may say, “You don’t am,” in order to make the world happy.”
“I do believe in marriage, but the one I can have a happy marriage with is no longer here. I didn’t think it would ever happen until seeing him, and I haven’t seen anyone else. Even though I’ve dated, I never saw myself getting married to them. I didn’t see that relationship last forever,” she said in closing.
