Veteran Nollywood star, Bimbo Akintola recently made comments on her decision to remain single at the age of 54, revealing how personal tragedy influenced her choice.
The actress shared that she once had a deep connection with a man she hoped to spend her life with, but his untimely death left a void that shaped her views on love and marriage. This heartbreaking experience made her reluctant to settle down just to meet societal norms.
Akintola remains a firm believer in marriage but insists it must be based on genuine compatibility and mutual understanding. For her, entering a relationship simply to fit in or to satisfy cultural expectations is out of the question. She is determined to stay true to her values, only considering marriage with someone who can offer the same level of connection she once had.
Addressing the societal pressure to marry, Akintola was unapologetic about her decision to remain single. She rejects the idea of conforming to outdated expectations, standing firm in her belief that love and respect are the only real foundations for marriage. In the face of societal scrutiny, she has embraced her independence and continues to live authentically on her own terms.
