“Why I don’t want to marry my partner” – Iyabo Ojo
Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has said that she and her partner, music executive and show promoter Paul Okoye (also known as Paulo), are enjoying their relationship despite not being married.
She stated that they both did not want to marry each other because she felt that “marriage is overrated.”
The mother-of-two said this on the latest episode of her TV show Iyabo Ojo TV, which featured veteran singer Charlie Boy as a guest.
she said: “I’m enjoying my current relationship. I’m having fun. Luckily for me, he (Paulo Okoye) doesn’t believe in marriage either. We like it to be overrated. I feel it.”
Charlie Boy agreed: “I agree that marriage is overrated. My son called me the other day and said, “Dad, why do people sign contracts and only stay married for five years and be lucky?” Can’t you just say that if you’re happy, you’ll renew the contract?”
“It may sound strange, but marriages these days aren’t what they were when my parents got married, so there are different ways to deal with it. Marriages are a little chaotic right now. And… People are a little more individualistic than they used to be. No one wants to serve anyone else. Everyone wants to have what’s theirs. So that’s where the problems start. ”
