Award-winning Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar, has laid bare her mind on the sentiments attached to the divine institution, marriage. The sociology graduate of Bayero University, Kano, says she has no immediate plans to be addressed as a Mrs. anytime soon, as there’s no happiness or genuine love these days.
Speaking recently on the most hallowed topic, the curvy actress said “Marriage has been overrated. It’s just too much of a 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 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 marriage and later it may become very irritating and they start fighting. Before they know it, everything becomes violent”.
Asked if she was interested in marriage, she responded “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 their marriage. Nothing happened to their union.
Omotola and her husband have been married for long; they’re still very much together. What I’m trying to say is that going into marriage needs a lot; you don’t just go into it. Marriage these days is not based on happiness and genuine love” she opined.
