The mother of four, who disclosed this during a recent interview with BBC Yoruba, explained that any lady who is not financially stable should not consider marriage because she is automatically preparing herself to be imprisoned in the union.

Speaking of if she could also allow any of her children get married at the same age, Omotola said she only has one child who is 18 and he is a boy. Omotola added that he cannot get married now because he doesn’t have his own money.

She advised that people should use their sense when making decisions and not decide to follow her footsteps because she got married at 18.

“I was at the age of consent when I got married and above all, I was mature when I met my husband. Currently, I have only one child that is 18 years old, so the question is late. He is a boy and peradventure, he says he wants to get married, I will not allow it because he does not have his own money now.

“One must apply wisdom or common sense in everything one does. People cannot say that because I married at 18, therefore they can also do it. The question is, ‘are you ready for marriage’? When I was at that age, I was ready. I had been working since I was 15-years-old and I had become a millionaire at the age of 18. That is a fact that a lot of people don’t know.

“I had my own money. I was not dependent on any man. Moreover, my father died early, so I was already responsible for my younger siblings. I was like their mother at that time, so I was very mature and financially prepared.

“One should not marry a man when one is not financially stable. If one does that, one would be going into slavery or better still, prison. If any of my children, after considering all these factors, say they are ready for marriage, we (parents) would meet the person and if we like them, we would give them our blessings.”

 

Meanwhile, veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has stated that feminism is the major cause of domestic violence against women in marriage.
