Yemi Alade
Singer, Yemi Alade, has advised those under pressure to get married to not yield to the rush and pressure from people as it isnt the best to do.
The 34-year-old has taken a swipe at the expense and burden that comes with getting married and bearing children in a seemingly unfavourable economy.
During her latest interview withCool FM, Yemi Alade while subtly debunking her reported marriage, spoke about the pressures to get married and how she feels about pressure, especially from family members, to get married and have children.
The ˜Johnny crooner stated that the pressure to get married gets quite intense towards the end of the year but she has mastered how to respond.
She revealed that marrying the right partner is of utmost importance and making provision ahead of the kids ones marriage could produce.
People get married every year, especially towards the end of the year, it gets even crazier. Im under no pressure honey. Nobody should be. When its time, its time.
Family pressure is a difficult pressure to shake off because its the people you respect and look up to that are insisting that you get married, but I believe if they have your best interest at heart, they will wait with you.
Because its more important to have the right partner than to just get married.
But asides that, I dont think anyone should be in so much of a rush to make wrong decision and be with the wrong partner. Have you guys checked how much Pampers is? Look, these babies they are gifts, but when theyre born, they need things. Lets stop giving birth to children to come and suffer.
Lets normalize that. When mummy says go and marry, go and have child, say mummy do you have trust fund baby? Are you ready for trust fund baby? Lets have questions to ask these people that have opinions, that are watching the womb on when we should. I think no one should be under unnecessary pressure. Have you seen the economy? Calm down! For this economy, we no dey play like that oh, she added.(The Nation)
