“I love family, I love marriage, and I see it as the basis for family,” she explained.

Furthermore, May opened up about her approach to personal issues, noting her preference for handling matters privately rather than on social media.
She attributes her resilience to a robust support network, which includes her family, friends, and a loyal online community.
“Having a positive mindset is key for me. I embrace authenticity, I do not take my personal issues to social media,” she shared. “My family and friends are always there for me, and my online family members act as a pillar, ready to stand by me.”

He said, “Forget all the lip services that we pay to polygamy here. I still think that polygamy is the best form of marriage for Africa. Monogamy is not working.
“We are pretending. Now, what’s the difference between polygamy and monogamy? Polygamy says you can marry two people at the same time. Monogamy says you cannot marry them at the same time, you have to let one go. What if you don’t want to let one go?”

Siblings Kunle, Aremu Afolayan reconcile, end age-long feud at mother’s wake-keep
Siblings Kunle, Aremu Afolayan reconcile, end age-long feud at mother’s wake-keep
Renowned Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan and his younger brother, Aremu Afolayan, have officially reconciled after years of public and private discord.
The brothers, both sons of the late Nigerian film legend Ade Love, ended their long-standing feud during the wake-keep ceremony of their late mother in Oyo State on Friday, November 22, 2024.
The rift between the two gained widespread attention in 2018 when Aremu alleged in an interview that their father lived in poverty despite his fame.
Kunle reacted sharply to the comments, labeling Aremu “stupid” during the public exchange, which deepened the divide between them.
However, the emotional gathering for their mother became a turning point. Kunle, addressing attendees, referred to himself as a father figure to Aremu due to their 10-year age gap.

“One thing I want to tell all Aremu’s friends is that I am not his brother but his father,” Kunle said. “I trained him, and I’m 10 years older than him. But love conquers all.”
Aremu, in turn, apologized to Kunle, acknowledging his mistakes and expressing gratitude for their late mother’s prayers and efforts to reconcile them.
“My greatest joy today is that my mother made us talk,” Aremu said. “I’m sorry for putting brother Kunle through the Instagram backlash. It’s because I love you.”

Why marriage is a scam – Actress Abimbola Craig
Why marriage is a scam – Actress Abimbola Craig
Nigerian actress and film producer, Abimbola Craig has revealed why she is not married at 38.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the media personality, Craig said she believes “marriage is a scam”.
The actress critiqued traditional marital roles where women are often burdened with home management and catering to their partners, referring to the title “Mrs” as shorthand for “Master’s in Residential Servicing”.
She also clarified that her decision to remain single is not because she opposes marriage but because she values a partner with self-awareness or purpose.
“All marriage is a scam. When I was small, my mum always told me marriage is an institution. She said when they call you ‘Mrs,’ it stands for ‘Master’s in Residential Servicing’,” she said.

“I am not married, not because I do not want to be married, but if you are a man who does not know who he is, you cannot be with me.”
Craig is best known for her role as Tiwalade in the hit web series ‘Skinny Girl in Transit’. She has also made her mark as a producer, co-producing the 2019 box office hit ‘Sugar Rush’ alongside Jade Osiberu.
Earlier this year, she opened up about a near-death experience following brain surgery in 2014.
Craig recounted battling severe complications, including nausea, insomnia, and weight loss, which left her fearing for her life.
