‘Some women are destined to marry at 40 or 50’ – Lola Idije
‘Some women are destined to marry at 40 or 50’ – Lola Idije
Lola made the remarks during an appearance on the Africanlist Podcast, where she defended women who shoulder the responsibility of raising their children alone.
“Not everybody will have a husband to help them raise their children. So women have to carry their burden alone. Not all of them choose that life,” she said.
The actress argued that some women become single mothers because of circumstances beyond their control, insisting that not having a husband does not mean a woman is irresponsible.
She further questioned the pressure placed on young women to marry, asking how anyone could be certain that marrying at 20 would not lead them to choose the wrong partner.
“But if you start pressuring them at 20, how can you be sure that they won’t marry the wrong person?” she said.
Lola also spoke about motherhood, saying, “When women start giving birth, they become softer.”
