“Why I don’t want to get married to my partner”- Iyabo Ojo opens up

• Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo reveals contentment in her relationship with Paul Okoye, aka Paulo, asserting that they both believe marriage is “overrated.”
• The actress shares her happiness on her TV show, stating that she and Paulo enjoy their relationship without the need for marriage.
• Charly Boy, a guest on the show, agrees with the perspective, suggesting a contract-based approach to marriage with fixed terms and renewal options.

In an episode of her television show, Iyabo Ojo, a popular Nollywood actress, opened up about her contentment in a relationship with her partner, Paul Okoye, also known as Paulo.

The actress expressed her happiness with their current status, emphasizing that both she and Paulo believe marriage is “overrated” and have opted not to tie the knot

The revelation, accompanied by the presence of veteran singer Charly Boy as a guest, unveiled their shared belief that traditional marriage is “overrated.”

During the engaging conversation, Iyabo Ojo shed light on her contentment within the relationship, emphasizing that both she and Paulo share a perspective on marriage that veers away from conventional norms.

“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.”
