Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has advised career-driven women to prioritize having children over the pursuit of marriage. In a recent interview with *Nollywood On Radio*, Bakare shared her perspective on achieving long-term success, emphasizing that marriage is not necessary for starting a family.
Drawing from her personal experiences, she explained that women can lead fulfilling lives and build families without the traditional structure of marriage, encouraging women to make choices that best suit their goals and circumstances.
“If you are aspiring to be a successful superstar as a young girl, I would advise you to get married and have kids early so that you can have the rest of your years to push your career because the family area is very important.
“I know getting married early may lead to divorce but I mean starting a family early. Maybe I should retract that because I do not mean marriage. I never thought of marriage when I had my first child, I just wanted a baby.
“So the advice is not to get married early but start having a family.”
naijamp3baze notes that Laide, aged 43, was formerly married to Olumide Kunfulire, with whom she welcomed a daughter named Simi in 2008. In 2013, Bakare entered into her second marriage with Tunde Oriowo, a socialite from Lagos, and the couple had two sons together.
