Tina Mbah, a veteran actress in Nollywood, has offered advice to her peers who are struggling to balance their careers and marriages.
She recommended to her colleagues that they be vigilant, as there are always indications of a potential partner who might not back their career.
The mother of two suggested something about her personal life as she encouraged her colleagues to follow her example and not allow marriage to impede their careers.
Speaking in a recent episode of Lights, Camara – It’s My Turn, Mba 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?
While marriage carries significance, no one has coerced us into it. This world has countless individuals. If this didn’t succeed, another might. A soulmate will enter your life—someone who offers support. Simply be authentic. Skip the glitz and glam; embrace your inner vintage babe like I do.
