The Only Man I Ever Saw Myself Experiencing Marriage With Is Dead – Bimbo Akintola

Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola has come out to share the reasons behind her decision to remain single.

She recently had her say via her social media page, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, she does believe in marriage, but the only person she could have shared the experience with was her ex-husband, and he is late now.

Bimbo added that she has not met anyone else who could be her life partner despite dating a few men after his passing.

Her words, “My ex husband died. I don’t talk about it much, but he died. Do you know how long it took me to find him? A very long time, but he is gone.

If you are not going to be truthful to your vows, then why are you doing it? The person wey me fit do forever for done die. He’s gone. I am not saying that you can’t have two or three loves in your lifetime but do you know how long it took me to find that one that I knew I could stay with.

I am also too old to understand red flags when I see it and I think I am too old to manage and say I am doing something just to make other people happy. Who are those people? To make the world happy, I should marry someone so that the world can say you don do am.

I do believe in marriage but the person I can do it with is dead, he is gone. I have not seen anybody else and before I saw him I thought it will never happen. I have dated but I have never seen myself marrying those people. I didn’t see forever with those people.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
