advised celebrities who are not prepared to stay married not to venture
into it. Speaking as a celebrity guest on Jara recently, the
Delta State-born actress and single mother, who has been involved in
stage productions and films for over two decades, said:
“I have two
lovely children. But what I know about marriage is that it is an
institution laid down by God, so it is sacred. What I tell people is
that if you can’t stay married, please, do not go into it.
“Marriage is a burden; it is a huge
responsibility. If you are not ready for it, don’t go there. Marriage is
not about having a lavish ceremony. But it is about you and what you
truly feel and how you tend to make it work. What I am saying is that if
you can’t keep it together, don’t venture into it. People marry for
different reasons. If you are an actress, a wife and a mother, you
should know your responsibility is more. Because you are married, you
cannot go on a movie set and start giving excuses. You know you will be
losing your jobs little by little. The directors understand, so they
will be giving you slacks. You do not have to kiss and hug all the
time.”
