Citing her personal experience, the actress argued that marriage is not necessary to start a family.

Nollywood star, Laide Bakare has urged fellow women to prioritize having children over marriage.

She stated this in an interview with Nollywood On Radio.

The film star advised career-oriented single women to have children early if they desire to achieve long-term professional success.

Citing her personal experience, the actress argued that marriage is not necessary to start a family.

“If you are aspiring to be a superstar, successful in your career as a young girl, I would advise you to get married and have kids early,” she said.

“So that you can have the rest of your years to push your career because the family area is very important.

“I know that getting married very early may lead to divorce so I mean starting a family early.

“Maybe I should retract that because I do not mean marriage. I never thought of marriage. The time I had my first child, I just wanted a baby.”

Bakare clarified that her advice wasn’t about marriage but starting a family, emphasizing the importance of having children.

“So the advice is not to get married early but start having a family,” she said.

Bakare also revealed that she had a rift with colleague Eniola Badmus, who misunderstood the advice as a reference to her being childless.

“Recently, I saw Eniola Badmus so we wanted to continue our quarrel and she said I called her childless,” she added.

“So I told her I meant and only said start a family. I meant to start a family not go and get married, just have your kids. Not necessarily marriage but at least have kids.”
