However, a Nigerian actress/hostess who regards herself as Nigeria’s number 1 realist has an answer for those saying marriage is not an achievement.
Without douubt, the highly anticipated wedding of Chioma and Davido on June 25, 2024, has sparked numerous discussions for various reasons.
While some have argued that Chioma deserves a place in folklore for her patience in managing Davido’s excesses, others have made light of the institution of marriage altogether, saying being married is not an achievement.
However, a Nigerian actress/hostess who regards herself as Nigeria’s number 1 realist has an answer for those saying marriage is not an achievement.
“Marriage is not an achievement? Are you joking? So, what’s an achievement? Your little iPhone I guess. Marriage will forever remain an achievement,” she declares.
“Most people who say marriage is not an achievement are saying it from a place of pain or choice. Pain, because they have a bad experience with marriage or their partners.
"And choice because some people don’t just want to do the work that comes with marriage because definitely it is a whole lot of work. And I think it’s high time people started understanding that they can decide to get married and not be shamed for it. Especially African parents, they need to understand that this generation is happy to grow into single wrinkled old baddies in the nearest future.
“But marriage will forever remain an achievement. Just because your heart got broken or your faves heart got broken doesn’t make it less of an achievement. I mean you can decide to drop out of school, it doesn’t make graduating from school less of an achievement,” she added.
