Monalisa Stephen, a rising social media influencer and actress has opened up on why she doesn’t want to get married or have children.
Stephen noted that she is not against marriage, but added that marriage is not the purpose why we are on earth.
“I am not against marriage but I don’t want to be married or have my own children. I would rather adopt children. I am not the ‘marriage’ type. I don’t think marriage is the main purpose why we are on earth. I don’t also like the Nigerian mentality where people think that at a certain age, one has to be married. Marriage is not a do-or-die affair. That is why people are getting into wrong relationships. There are people that live together as partners and they are even doing better than legally married ones. There is a man in my life and it is a committed relationship but it is not one that will lead to marriage. We advise each other and I love it that way”, she told Punch.
