Big Brother Naija reality star, Venita Akpofure shared her insights on marriage, advising young women not to rush into it before the age of 28.

During an interview with Tacha, Venita, who expressed her affection for her school boyfriend, stressed the importance of enjoying one’s youth and exploring various aspects of life before committing to marriage.

She encouraged young women to resist the idea of settling down too early and highlighted the need to embrace their youth and experience different facets of life before making a lifelong commitment.

But you need to try different things in life, different experiences, to be sure of okay, I want to be stuck here. Because it’s handcuff, you’re there.”

“Because you’re stuck – that’s the social idea. Unless you’re Westernized like me, then you’re unstuck, you can unstuck yourself. I’m divorced. The ones that are enjoying now, ‘ll probably still reach a time where they’ll probably hate each other and still have to be in the same space.

“I’m telling you! Why do you think to say them get madam room and oga room? When the ground is shaking and I need space, I need space. Be in your room, I’ll be in my room.

“To me, an ideal marriage, my husband would have a wonderful house here, and mine would be over here, and there would be magnificent corridors connecting the two houses.”
