In an interview with Encomium, the actress says “marriage is overrated and too much of a headache”.
According to her, her marital status or lack thereof is nobody’s business.
She said, "Yes,
because marriage has been overrated. It’s unnecessarily over rated.
It’s just too much of headache with how things are now. Even ordinary
relationship is a huge burden, huge headache and heartbreaking, let
alone marriage. When you can’t stand each other as boyfriend and
girlfriend, how would you live together under the same roof when you get
married?
People need to know themselves
seriously. When I say seriously, I mean spiritually before getting
married. People only know themselves physically, not spiritually, so
they end up getting bored with each other. And they will say they don’t
want to get divorce because of what society would say after investing so
much on the marriage.
They stay in that
marriage and later it may become very irritating and they start
fighting. Before they know it, everything becomes violent. You hear
people say all sorts of things. You’re the one who allowed people to get
to you and start telling you you’re getting old. You’re the one
allowing them to convince you that you’re getting old, you need to get
married. Everyone will surely get old. Who won’t get old? So, when
people say I am getting old, get married, I would tell them that’s the
only thing they know. People carry marriage like a flag."

On her getting married soon,
"No,
people should only try to be nice about marriage to make me interested
in it. Don’t tell me actresses don’t stay in marriage. Olu Jacobs and
Joke Silva have been married for long and they’re still in the marriage.
nothing happened to their union.
Omotola
and her husband have been married for long, they’re still very much
together. She got married at a young age which is good. What I am trying
to say is that going into marriage needs a lot, you don’t just go into
it. My elder sister got married at 26 and she’s doing fine in the
marriage with her husband.
Now, tell me
why won’t I want a family like that? But these days, people are just too
much into social media, that’s why marriages are crashing. Marriage
these days is not based on happiness and genuine love. Let me ask, who
is that poor person that has married a billionaire son? So, why won’t
marriage crash when it’s not based on happiness and genuine love?"
