Nollywood actress, Empress Njamah says there’s no expiry date for getting married. She made the statement in a recent interview with The Nation.

She revealed this when asked when she plans to settle down. Empress replied:

”There is never an expiry date for getting married. I don’t know why people keep asking this question.”

When asked if her status as a celebrity could be one of the reasons for her delay in getting married:

”It has nothing to do with it. It could happen to anyone; they are some people who won’t get married and there are some who want to get married and it is not forthcoming. And there are some who are taking their time not to jump in. Eventually it will happen; there is not date that is written that you have to get married.

If I haven’t gotten married, there are obviously reasons why I haven’t. And I don’t see that as a crime or problem. When the time comes, it is obvious that people will know and celebrate with you genuinely. If you see the right man and match, why not, Let’s not make this thing a point of a big deal; I don’t know.”

Empress, who has been away from the silver screen for quite some time now, is focusing her energy on charity work through her foundation, Empress Njamah Foundation, which recently marked  its 10-year anniversary. Apparently, her mom inspired her love for charity.

”I have been doing this professionally on my own for the past 10 years. And I have been trying to see how we can spread it and have a lot of people get to join me; that is because as it is right now, the weight is much on me.  So we are working on that now.

My mum said to me that at a tender age that she noticed that I had the passion in me; that I always wanted to share my things and as I grew older, I always like to bring people together for us to eat and share things together.  And that I took special interest in kids. I don’t like seeing kids cry. I just can’t place it, but there is something about it that keeps pulling me closer into the cause.”
