Actress Iyabo Ojo has revealed why she does not want to get married again.
The mother of two spoke in the latest episode of her TV show, Iyabo Ojo TV, which had musician Charly Boy as a guest.
Iyabo Ojo said she and her partner, music executive and show promoter Paul Okoye, better known as Paulo, are enjoying their relationship despite not being married.
She said they do not want to get married to each other because they feel that “marriage is overrated.”
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.”
“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,” Charly Boy replied.
