“If You Rush Into Marriage, You Will Rush Out”-Actress Funke Akindele Advises Ladies
Popular Nollywood actress and movie producer, Funke Akindele Bello also known as Jenifa has advised ladies to be careful when going into marriage.
The actress who used herself to cite an example stated that her first marriage was due to pressure from the society and from everyone else.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the movie producer encouraged ladies to be very prepared when it’s time for marriage so they won’t rush out of it.
In her words,
“I have never addressed this issue but I will do now to encourage ladies that are pressured to get married. Please calm down and take your time because if you rush in, you rush out…that is the lesson learnt….I just wanted to get married then, have children because I was being pressurized by society, here and there….and then it didn’t work out and ended in a bad way….I was filming when the news broke on social media, I wanted to die, i lost some good deals and all but i didn’t let it break me”
“I channeled my energy into work, made money and i saved a lot, i will wake up early to work….there will always be bad times but you will survive, don’t let it weigh you down because it will pass and because you serve a living God…there are times anger and jealousy will come, but don’t let it eat you up, as a young lady don’t be pressured into marriage, marry cos you love him and want to be with him not cos the society and everyone is pressuring you to, ignore the naysayers…..do what makes you happy”
Speaking about the reason they both announced the arrival of their new cars, Funke revealed that it’s been a long time they bought a new car.
She said,
“The last time we bought a new car was seven or eight years ago, it is not as if we couldn’t afford it but we were working hard and wanted to keep things running well first, keeping the company going, pay salaries…so it was to encourage people to let them know that you don’t have to do things the way others are doing but to become better at what you do”
