Popular Nigerian actress and reality star, Iyabo Ojo has opened up on why she will not get married to her man, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Paulo.
According to her, they both believe that marriage is overrated and have decided to just focus on their relationship.
The movie star made this known on YouTube’s latest episode of her TV show, which featured veteran singer, Charly Boy, as a guest.
The mother of two disclosed that she and the famous music executive cum show promoter, Paulo, are enjoying their relationship despite not being married.
She said: “I am enjoying my relationship. I am enjoying it. Luckily for me, he [Paulo Okoye] also doesn’t believe in marriage. We feel like it is overrated.”
Charly Boy concurred: “I agree with you that marriage is overrated. My son called me the other day and said, ‘Dad, why can’t people have a contract and say we will just do five years in marriage and if we are lucky and happy, we renew the contract?’
“It sounds funny but you know, there are different coping mechanisms because these days, marriage is not what it used to be when our parents got married. Marriage is a little bit muddled up now. And people are a little bit more individualistic than they used to be before. Nobody wants to serve anybody. Everybody wants to get their own. So, that’s where the problem starts.”
