“This is why I believe women should get married after 30yrs of age. A woman needs to have education, self awareness, confidence and wisdom before choosing a life partner. Marrying young with no self confidence killed alot of women’s dreams.”
@Chukwuebuka Gideon said:
“Some people saying she left her dream. y’all think her dream was to keep acting? Her dream was to keep the last name and family and she did that.”
