Abimbola Craig Calls Marriage a Scam
Nigerian actress and film producer Abimbola Craig has sparked conversations with her bold perspective on marriage, describing it as a “scam.” During an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Craig openly shared her thoughts on the institution of marriage and the societal expectations surrounding it, particularly for women.
Craig explained that her skepticism toward marriage stems from the unequal roles often imposed on women. She recalled how her mother humorously referred to the title “Mrs” as meaning “Master’s in Residential Servicing,” reflecting the traditional view of women’s roles in marriage. This perspective influenced Craig’s critical outlook on marital expectations.
Despite her candid views, Craig clarified that her choice to remain single is not rooted in disliking marriage itself. Instead, she emphasized the importance of finding a partner who has a strong sense of self and purpose. She stated, “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.”
As a celebrated actress and producer, Craig is widely recognized for her role in the hit series Skinny Girl in Transit and her work on the successful film Sugar Rush. Her professional achievements showcase her dedication to her craft, making her a prominent figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Earlier this year, Craig shared another significant part of her journey, recounting a near-death experience after undergoing brain surgery in 2014. Her resilience and transparency in discussing personal struggles have inspired many, further endearing her to fans.
Abimbola Craig’s candid remarks on marriage highlight the ongoing dialogue about societal norms and individual choices, resonating with those who value self-awareness and equality in relationships.
