Abimbola Craig reveals why she’s still unmarried at 38

Abimbola Craig, the Nigerian actress, has revealed why she is not married at 38.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the media personality, Craig said she believes “marriage is a scam”.

The actress critiqued traditional marital roles where women are often burdened with home management and catering to their partners, referring to the title “Mrs” as shorthand for “Master’s in Residential Servicing”.

She also clarified that her decision to remain single is not because she opposes marriage but because she values a partner with self-awareness or purpose.

“All marriage is a scam. When I was small, my mum always told me marriage is an institution. She said when they call you ‘Mrs,’ it stands for ‘Master’s in Residential Servicing’,” she said.

“I am not married, not because I do not want to be married, but if you are a man who does not know who he is, you cannot be with me.”

Craig is best known for her role as Tiwalade in the hit web series ‘Skinny Girl in Transit’. She has also made her mark as a producer, co-producing the 2019 box office hit ‘Sugar Rush’ alongside Jade Osiberu.

Bolanle Ninalowo opens up on early career struggles

Bolanle Ninalowo has revealed how he overcame early career setbacks to achieve success in Nollywood.

In an unreleased episode of ‘Off The Top’ podcast, Ninalowo said his initial failures ultimately led to his triumph in the entertainment industry.

When asked about his motivation to persevere in an unreleased episode of ‘Off The Top’ podcast, the 44-year-old emphasised that being down can present unexpected opportunities for self-discovery.

Reflecting on his Nollywood journey, Ninalowo credited his initial failures for his eventual success.

“When you fall flat on your face and you are backed against the wall, that is when you get the biggest opportunities to discover yourself. I tell people that when I came to Nollywood, the secrets of my success are buried in my failures,” he said.

Ninalowo’s entry into Nollywood was far from smooth. He began as a producer but faced failure. He then ventured into music, only to find it wasn’t his calling. Undeterred, he returned to acting in the mid-2000s.

His breakthrough came with the 2015 movie ‘Desperate Baby Mamas,’ which propelled him to fame. Since then, the Ikorodu-born actor has appeared in numerous hit films, showcasing his versatility in both Yoruba and English movies.

Some of his notable roles include performances in ‘Fate of Alakada,’ ‘Coming From Insanity,’ ‘Breaded Life,’ ‘Lakatabu,’ and ‘Alter Date.’

Ninalowo’s resilience and determination have made him a household name in Nollywood.
