Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo talked out about her happiness in a relationship with her lover, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Paulo.
In an episode of her television show ‘The Goldroom,’ she revealed this.
The actress emphasised her contentment with their current situation, emphasising that she and Paulo both believe marriage is “overrated” and have chosen not to marry.
The announcement, which was followed by the appearance of legendary singer Charly Boy as a guest, revealed their common conviction that traditional marriage is “overrated.”
During the lively discussion, Iyabo Ojo discussed her happiness in the partnership, emphasising that she and Paulo have an unconventional view of marriage.
Iyabo Ojo 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,” Iyabo Ojo said.
Charly Boy, concurring with Ojo’s sentiments, shared an intriguing proposal from his son. He recounted;
“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.”
