"I will be 70 and still be single if I do not believe honestly that I have found the right person. We are all on earth as individuals. Some of us will marry; some of us will not. Some of us will have children, some of us will not. So I never judge myself according to other people's standard.
Marriage is such a huge deal and I'm not in a hurry to go there. That's the truth.

If you find maybe two of my ex's, you will find out that I've had proposals. But I turned them down because at the end of the day, you are saying 'I pick this person above everybody else in the
world, till death do us part.' I had better believe that! If I don't believe it, it's not going to happen.

If I'd wanted to be married 15 times over, I would have. But I won't marry for people, I will marry for me. When I find the person that makes me feel I can do this forever, then I am ready." Bimbo Akintola, 37.

That's my girl!

Nice one!... its relieving to be true to oneself...some people aint cut out for marriage and it sure works for them..yeah!

I hope say she don born pikin sha, if so, she fit even wait till after life till she find her soulmate..

Am waiting for the usual sexist comments.
That aside, Bimbo Akintola is one of my favourite actresses.

Wayyy to go girl me luv this girl damnn!!!

Why just get into something to please people?

Watever fries ur dodo ma'am

I'm no sexist. I like her stand on finding the right person; the one she wants to be with forever and all that.

But then I've to say this is the kind of thinking; the idea of getting the ideal, complete man that leaves people getting old and lonely. Nobody wants to be alone.

Don't be fooled. Maybe she's not good enough for the men she claims to have turned down.

Just my opinion. No attacks please.

She's beautiful both in and out!
She's got the brains also.
Good thinking
One of my favourites in the movie industry!

All u single lady wit coments above shld keep quiet! She go soon taya or if konji wan kpai her, she go hunt underage boys. Na beyonce's 'all d single ladies' de decieve una.She's an african, she knws wat's she's tlkin.Trust yoruba; family go press ha taya

U beta say it!! I love her!!

That's a lame excuse. I need to meet her and let her know that there is no "right" one. You just have to make yourself "right" for your partner. I cant wait to meet you, young lady.

Hmmm. . .incredible. It's always interesting to see someone stick a huge, fat middle finger up in the face of tradition - more so when done with such artistry as Bimbo just did.

I meant to diss the flabbiness out of her when I saw the topic, as I thought it must be a really bitter case of sour grapes. However, reading the main post has left me confounded by the sheer clarity of her thought, eloquence of her words, and persuasiveness of her argument. I shamelessly have to admit that I am persuaded by these arguments, regardless of her real motives.

All these UI products no dey fall hand at all.

LOL/YAWN/KEEP WAITING!

In short

She means she is still available waiting for the ideal man.

Little commercial at its best.

Missy_B: That's my girl!

datz ma girl so u tu won marry at d age of 74 abi.

I'm so feeling yhu Bimbo darling. Seriously echoing yhur sentiments.
Don't just marry for the sake of marrying, or cos of what people would say, think or make of yhu. Marry, cos it WORKS for YOU!

It is not easy to be single and above 30 in Nigeria. Male or Female.

How old is she?

exactly,dats d spirit,dis is one exceptional and sound minded girl dat is not a marriage freak,in out of every 1o conversation wit women,marriage is usually their central theme.if ure not happy in a relationship,u dont expect dat u will b fullfilled in marriage,like my father will say,any relationship or man dat can not add value to ur life or enhance u in being a better u,am sorry to tel u,u will live a miserable life,so its beta ure single,fullfilled and married than being a mrs with so much misery and all u have to do is act like all is well.now dis is my kind of woman
