Marriage Is Not the Core of My Existence; I’m Doing Pretty Good— Actress Bisola Aiyeola

Nollywood actress Bisola Aiyeola has shared her views on marriage, saying that although she considers it essential to society, getting married is not a priority in her life.

Speaking on the In My Opinion podcast, where actor Uzor Arukwe also discussed his views on marriage, Bisola highlighted the responsibilities women often shoulder in relationships, questioning why some women should remain married when they still have to handle most of the work themselves.

“Women are like, you know what? What’s the point if I still have to do everything myself? Why do I have to be tied to this man all in the name of marriage?” she said.

The actress noted that some women are breadwinners while also bearing children and taking responsibility for childcare and household duties, leaving their partners expecting to be served.

She, however, described marriage as an important institution and said she would be open to it if the opportunity arose.

“Marriage is an institution, is essential for the society. For me, if marriage does come, I will get married, but it is not the core of my existence. I mean, I’m doing pretty good,” she stated.

Bisola, who is a mother to a 17-year-old daughter, also spoke about the challenges of raising a child as a single parent, explaining that she reminds her daughter that single parenthood should not be something to aspire to.

“Being a single parent and looking after my daughter, I still let her know that being a single parent is not that easy. That’s not what you should aspire to be. Bearing the whole load of raising a child shouldn’t be for one person alone,” she said.

Reflecting on turning 40 in January, the actress expressed happiness with her life and personal growth.

“I turned 40 in January. Yeah. I love me so much, and this is the best times of my life,” she added.
