Nigerian actress Ruth Eze has issued a heartfelt warning to women against rushing into marriage due to societal pressure or the desire to impress others, emphasizing that such decisions could lead to long-term regret.
In a candid Instagram post that has resonated with many of her followers, Eze advised women to prioritize finding the right partner rather than succumbing to external pressures.
"My sister, it's better to wait and marry right. Don't let the internet pressure you," she wrote. "Don't end up marrying a madman just to pepper people who don't even care about you. Don't settle for someone just because he fits your spec. Calm down."
The outspoken actress balanced her serious message with a touch of humor, acknowledging that some women might choose to have children while waiting for the right partner. "My point is: wait and marry right. While waiting, you fit drop one, that's okay. I've said my own," she added.
The Pressure of Marriage in Nigerian Society
Eze's advice comes at a time when many Nigerian women face intense societal pressure to get married by a certain age. This cultural expectation often leads to rushed decisions and potentially unhappy unions.
Her message emphasizes personal happiness and compatibility over conforming to societal expectations or trying to "pepper" others – a Nigerian slang term for making others jealous or impressing them.
