Chase Joy And Happiness Before Marriage – Waje

Popular singer, Waje has come out to say that marriage is not that important in today’s world.

She recently shared this opinion on social media, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to her, in life, being with a man or woman should not be the utmost priority, as chasing joy, happiness, and health should be the ultimate goal for human beings.

She added that everyone should learn to thank God for life at every point in time instead of whinning about not settling down.

Her words, “Marriage is not that important o, joy and happiness, health and well-being. When the time comes we will all dance to the altar but till den let’s thank God for life.”
