Why I don’t believe in marriage – Nollywood Actress, Monalisa Stephen
Monalisa Stephen, a Nigerian actress, has claimed that she does not believe in marriage, despite the fact that she is a Christian and knows it is established by God.
The plus-sized model revealed this in an interview with The Punch, which was published on Saturday, while addressing misconceptions about her approach to partnerships.
Monalisa confirmed that she never stated she doesn’t need a guy in her life, unlike what the media said about her remark.
She added that being in love with someone does not imply that the relationship must end in marriage, and couples do not have to get engaged before defining what they share as love.
In her words; “I never said I don’t need a man; who doesn’t need a man? However, I don’t think you need to put a (wedding) ring to something to define it as love. That’s why I don’t believe in marriage, although as a Christian, I know it is ordained by God.
But, I don’t believe love has to be defined by a ring. If I love someone, that means I am already committed to them. I am already ‘married’ to them, so they don’t need to give me a ring.”
The controversial social media star also declared that, while she did not wish to have children, she was committed to caring for youngsters in need.
Monalisa Stephen said; “I believe a lot in humanity and caring for others. I have adopted a lot of children and I am currently taking care of them.”
In other news, Actress Rita Edochie has defended VeryDarkMan (VDM) against claims leveled by radio host OAP Radiogad. The radio host said VDM cheated a gay Nigerian man living in the United States.
Edochie doesn’t believe these claims. She said, “If what you’re accusing VDM of is true, then you’re also gay. Why are you people bent on using his past to hold him down? I doubt the authenticity of this update about him.”
The actress believes that people are attempting to ruin VDM’s reputation. She stands behind VDM and promises to continue to support him regardless of what others think about him.
Edochie is known for voicing her opinion. She believes in VDM’s character and believes it is unfair to criticize him based on his history.
