Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has shared her reasons for choosing to remain single.
During an interview on Monday with Emmanuel Ehumadu, popularly known as Labista, on his Nollywood Hardcore show, Bimbo opened up about her personal life, revealing that she stayed unmarried because the person she intended to marry passed away.
“The person I could have done forever with is gone,” she said. “Do you know how long it took me to find him?”
When asked if marriage was still on the horizon for her, the 54-year-old actress responded, “I don’t want it.”
Bimbo emphasized that she wouldn’t bow to societal pressures, explaining that she couldn’t marry someone who wasn’t truly committed to the vows. “I don’t believe in getting married just for the sake of it. If you’re not going to be faithful to your vows, then why do it?” she added.
While still believing in marriage as an institution, she expressed disappointment with how it’s been treated in recent years.
The actress also disclosed that she has no romantic interest in Nollywood, explaining that she has never dated any actor and doesn’t view them as “datable” individuals.
“I believe in keeping things professional, and I don’t find myself attracted to people I work with,” she said.
