Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo said she and her partner, music
executive and show promoter Paul Okoye, aka Paulo, are enjoying their
relationship despite not being married.
She said they don’t want to get married to each other
because they feel that “marriage is overrated.”
The mother of two spoke in the latest episode of her TV
show, Iyabo Ojo TV, which had veteran singer Charly Boy as a guest.
She said: “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: “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.”
