Singer Inetimi Odon, known professionally as Timaya, has stated that he has decided to follow in the footsteps of the biblical Jesus by remaining single.
The 41-year-old who is one of the most eligible bachelors in the entertainment industry, in a Twitter post on Wednesday, implied that he will never get married.
The father of four who shares children with three baby mamas noted he has decided to be Christ-like because Jesus never got married.
He wrote: “Jesus never got married. I’m christ-like.”
In March 2022, Timaya prayed never to fall in love.
“May God not let me fall in love,” he tweeted.
In a 2018 interview with Punch, the ‘Dem Mama’ singer stated that some baby daddies are better fathers than many husbands in Nigeria.
The singer opined that while many young men became fathers by impregnating their unmarried lovers, they have proven to be better fathers than those that had consummated their unions.
“People fail to understand that a lot of baby daddies are better fathers than a lot of husbands. The kind of role I play in my children’s lives, I don’t think some husbands do that.
“I have time for my children, I love my children but some married men don’t even have time for their kids. They don’t show their kids love, they don’t know what it means to be a father. It doesn’t have anything to do with money; it’s about love and attention.
“Even my daughter sometimes wonders why I make babies if I was not ready to get married yet but I tell her that if I don’t make babies then she won’t be born.
“My life is in stages, I don’t think I want to get married now. It is not something I would want to venture into for now,” he said.
