Veteran Nollywood actress, Tina Mbah, has shared some candid advice with her colleagues in the industry, urging them to prioritize their careers and choose supportive partners.
Drawing from her own experience, Mbah warned female actors not to marry men who wouldn’t back their professional ambitions.
She emphasized the importance of having a partner who understands and supports their career goals, using herself as an example of how this approach has contributed to her success.
Mba disclosed this in an interview recently.
She said; “He met you an actor, he married you an actor, there was no issue of you are going to leave this job because I am insecure or because we need to raise our children. No discussion or whatever. Then you got married thinking that now you are going to fly, and then the man comes and tells you, ‘No, you’re going to sit.’”
“See, the signs are always there. Don’t ignore it. Watch him, watch her. You need to have a discussion with the person. If need be, you need to sign an undertaking that you would not make me leave my career. Because did he leave his job?”
“Marriage is important but nobody put a gun to my head or to your head to do it. There are so many people in this world. If this didn’t work, another may work. You will meet a soulmate, someone who will be supportive. Just be true to yourself. Don’t go for the dazzles, be an antique babe like me.”
