‘Some women are destined to marry at 40 or 50’ – Lola Idije

Nollywood actress Lola Idije has warned against pressuring women to marry early, saying some are destined to get married at 40 or 50 and should not be judged for raising children without husbands.

Lola made the remarks during an appearance on the Africanlist Podcast, where she defended women who shoulder the responsibility of raising their children alone.

“Not everybody will have a husband to help them raise their children. So women have to carry their burden alone. Not all of them choose that life,” she said.

The actress argued that some women become single mothers because of circumstances beyond their control, insisting that not having a husband does not mean a woman is irresponsible
