Yemi Alade expresses distress over the pressure to get married

Yemi Alade has revealed the challenges she faces with family and friends pressuring her to tie the knot and start a family.

In a recent interview with Cool FM, Yemi Alade addressed the speculation about her alleged marriage to her manager, subtly denying it. She delved into the topic of societal expectations, acknowledging the persistent pressure she experiences to marry and have children, especially from close ones.

Yemi Alade noted that the pressure tends to intensify towards the end of the year but shared that she has developed a strategy for handling it.

Emphasizing the importance of choosing the right life partner, she expressed the significance of careful planning for the prospect of raising children within a marriage.

Speaking in her own words:

“People get married every year, especially towards the end of the year, it gets even crazier. I’m under no pressure honey. Nobody should be. When it’s time, it’s time.”

“Family pressure is a difficult pressure to shake off because it’s 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 it’s more important to have the right partner than to just get married.”

“But asides that, I don’t 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 they’re born, they need things. Let’s stop borning children to come and suffer.”

“Let’s 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? Let’s 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.”
