Marriage Is Not a Yardstick for Fulfillment – Actress Bimbo Akintola

Popular Nollywood Actress, Bimbo Akintola, has once again made headlines as she openly shared her views on marriage, societal expectations, and relationships.

The screen star declared that her choice to remain unmarried should not be seen as a shortcoming, stressing that she does not consider marriage a prerequisite for living a fulfilled life.

In a candid interview, Akintola disclosed that she had received several marriage proposals in the past but turned them down, explaining that she had not yet met someone she believed to be her true partner.

She emphasized that the decision to marry must be a conscious and personal choice, not one made under pressure from family or society.

“Many people get married for the wrong reasons, and that’s why some unions crash even before the reception ends,” she noted, adding that societal pressure often pushes individuals into unions that lack a strong foundation.

The actress, known for her versatility on screen, also spoke about issues relating to parenting and equality in raising children.

She highlighted the need to hold both boys and girls accountable for their actions. According to her, if a young man impregnates a girl, he should be made to take responsibility rather than leaving the burden on the girl alone.

Akintola further advised women to focus less on superficial factors like wealth and status when considering life partners.

Instead, she encouraged them to look out for men who are hardworking, dependable, and committed to growth.

She argued that the culture of materialism in modern relationships has worsened the struggles of young people, adding that women should support men who are willing to build a future with them rather than demand instant wealth.

Akintola’s views have continued to spark conversations among her fans and followers, with many commending her for speaking boldly on issues that affect both personal choices and societal norms.
