Veteran Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola, has opened up about why she is still single.
Speaking in an interview with Pulse Nigeria, the 52-year-old screen star shared that she has no children and clarified that her unmarried status is not by deliberate choice.
Akintola, whose roots trace to Edo State through her mother and Oyo State through her father, described marriage as a sacred covenant that should be solemnized in God’s presence and witnessed by loved ones.
According to her, she has yet to meet the right person to share her life with. She recounted once meeting someone she believed was her life partner, but his untimely death ended that hope, and she has not found another match since.
The actress emphasized that truthfulness and sincerity are values she holds dear, and she would only marry if she was certain the relationship could last a lifetime. She added that she remains open to marriage at any ageeven in her late seventies if she meets the right person.
While stressing that marriage does not determine a woman’s value, Akintola noted that as people grow older and their children leave home, companionship becomes crucial in warding off loneliness.
She said: “I don’t have children, unfortunately. Marraige is important. Marriage is simple. It’s something that you do in the house of God. You go to church, call everyone that love you and say those vows that you will cherish and do the the rest of your life with. I haven’t found the person I would do the rest of my life with. I did found. But he died. And I haven’t found since then. And I can’t lie, I don’t know how to live a lie. I want everything to be in truthfulness. I want to be true to myself and God. I don’t think I would want to marry anyone that I won’t be able to stay with them forever
“If I think I can, if I believe I can, I would do it, even if I’m 78. Why not?.Marraige is important. It doesn’t make you, women, it’s not the end and be all of your life.But it’s also an important thing to do especially as you get older. And everyone is going their way, children have grown they are going their way. There’s something called loneliness, so you need a companion for the later years.”
