In an exclusive interview with Genevieve Magazine alongside two other women, self acclaimed richest blogger in Africa, Linda Ikeji, admitted that she’s under “intense pressure” to find a husband, adding that she is fed up of being constantly prodded by “family and friends” to get married.
The celebrity blogger, popular Lagos OAP and comic actress, Chigurl, as well as Sonia Irabor spoke on the subject, ‘Pressure To Marry Before 30′.
Below are excerpts from the chat;
Linda Ikeji
“Marriage is not an achievement. There is so much more to life than
being someone’s wife. Get married please, but don’t be pressured into
it. I don’t know how many of you single girls are under pressure to get
married but I am. Pressure from family, friends and people who just
can’t mind their business.
The pressure is so intense right now I feel like going to husband
market – if there is any such thing- to buy myself some breathing space.
Give me a break you people.
Chigurl
“In my opinion, the pressure is not a fabrication. It is very real !
After you have won asoebi about a million times, you begin to wonder
when it is going to be your turn to sell asoebi too ! And when you
factor in mums and aunties constantly reminding you about the shelf life
of women. It gets to you, even if it is just a bit.
People may even suggest some very strange things to you to do to
‘earn’ marriage. Well, I have come to realise that we allow ourselves to
be pressured. The decision to get married should not be taken because
you are being pressured, that could lead to a disaster. Don’t let anyone
make you go into anything you are not ready for or your joy may be
shortlived. And to those mounting pressure on others to go and get
married, there is simply no justification for your behaviour
Betty Irabor
“I don’t think women should be worried about being married before
30 because many women before that age have not yet gone through the
school of life which prepares them for marriage”
