‘My Partner And I Don’t Believe In Marriage’ – Celebrity Mum, Iyabo Ojo Reveals, Gives Their Reason
Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has revealed that she and her beau, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Paul O, are happy in their relationship and are not ready to tie the knot.
The movie star revealed this in a recent episode of her TV show, Iyabo Ojo TV, alongside veteran musician, Charly Boy.
During the show, the single mother of two claimed that she and the music executive will not be walking down the isle any time soon because they do not believe in the institution of marriage.
According to Iyabo, she and her man feel marriage is overrated. In her words:
“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.”
Charly Boy concurred adding:
“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.”
