Seasoned actress Bimbo Akintola has revealed that she has turned down multiple marriage proposals because she hasn\u2019t found the right partner.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an interview, the 52-year-old said she doesn\u2019t view her single status as a negative, emphasising that she\u2019s waiting for the person she wants to spend her life with.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me not to have found my partner, the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, I don\u2019t see it as a negative. I\u2019ve been proposed to many times, and I\u2019ve said no,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She warned against rushing into marriage due to societal pressure, citing Nigeria\u2019s rising divorce rates as a consequence of hasty decisions.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\u201cDid you just marry because people say marry? Look at divorce ratings now in Nigeria, it\u2019s skyrocketing. Some people are married before they leave the reception if the marriage has broken up,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Akintola also stressed the importance of teaching both sons and daughters equal responsibility and accountability.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeach your sons that their body is the temple of God the same way you teach your daughters. As soon as you impregnate a girl, no more school for you, my dear. Go and work and raise your child,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Additionally, she advised women to focus on building relationships with hardworking men rather than those solely defined by wealth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Seasoned actress Bimbo Akintola has revealed that she has turned down multiple marriage proposals because she hasn\u2019t found…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":164456,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[74583,6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-164455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-bimbo-akintola","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164455"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164455\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164455"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
