“I’m being pressured to get married” – Yemi Alade cries out

Yemi Alade, has opened up about the pressure she gets from family and close friends to get married and have kids.

During her most recent interview with Cool FM, Yemi Alade, while subtly denying her reported marriage to her manager, discussed the pressures to marry and how she feels about pressure to marry and have children, particularly from family members.

Yemi Alade stated that the pressure to marry increases near the end of the year, but she has mastered how to respond.

She revealed that marrying the right partner is critical, as is planning ahead of time for the children that a marriage may produce.

In her own words:

“People get married every year, especially towards the end of the year, it gets even crazier. I’m under no pressure honey. Nobody should be. When it’s time, it’s time.”

“Family pressure is a difficult pressure to shake off because it’s the people you respect and look up to that are insisting that you get married, but I believe if they have your best interest at heart, they will wait with you.”

“Because it’s more important to have the right partner than to just get married.”

“But asides that, I don’t think anyone should be in so much of a rush to make wrong decision and be with the wrong partner.”

“Have you guys checked how much Pampers is? Look, these babies they are gifts, but when they’re born, they need things. Let’s stop borning children to come and suffer.”

“Let’s normalize that. When mummy says go and marry, go and have child, say mummy do you have trust fund baby?”

“Are you ready for trust fund baby? Let’s have questions to ask these people that have opinions, that are watching the womb on when we should.”

“I think no one should be under unnecessary pressure. Have you seen the economy? Calm down! For this economy, we no dey play like that oh.”

Accept broke men or put up with busy ones – Kanayo O. Kanayo tells ladies

Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared his thoughts on relationships and what women may need to consider when choosing a partner.

In a recent post on his Instagram page, he advised ladies to think carefully about their priorities and what they are willing to accept in a relationship.

Kanayo O. Kanayo suggested that women who are not willing to be with someone who is financially struggling may need to be prepared to date someone who is very busy and has limited time to devote to a relationship.

He presented this as a trade-off, implying that women may need to make a choice between these two options.

On his Instagram page, Kanayo wrote:

“The gentleman’s code: If you don’t want a man who is broke, you are going to have to put up with a busy one.”

In another news, Kanayo defends Davido amid backlash over economic comment.

In a recent interview, Davido advised African Americans against relocating to Africa, citing Nigeria’s dire economic conditions as a case study.

The statement has since ignited widespread criticism, with many calling for the musician to apologize.

However, Kanayo, currently in the UK, addressed the controversy in a video shared on Instagram, urging Nigerians to respect Davido’s right to free speech.

The veteran actor highlighted that Davido, despite his privileged background, made the comments out of concern for the average Nigerian.

Dismissing the demands for an apology, Kanayo said:

“Nigerians make una leave Davido alone about the comment he made; it’s freedom of speech and he made it in good faith. It is left for those in power to work harder to give us a better Nigeria. We need to build a better Nigeria,” he said partly.

“Some people say he should apologize; apologize for what? He’s a Nigerian and he made his statement in good faith. Those who criticize us wants the best out of us. Davido and his family can feed well but he speaks for other Nigerians who cannot,” he added.
