Nigerian actress Biola Adebayo shed light on her decision to wait for six months before getting married, emphasizing that she was never desperate about finding a life partner.
Biola Adebayo said she is aware of what she wanted and her first consideration was someone who is a Christian and ready to live in Nigeria.
In her words: “I realized that we had a lot of things in common. Me and my husband did not court for too long. We got married in less than six months (after we started dating). That was because I knew what I wanted.”
“First, I was looking for a believer (Christian). That was the utmost for me. I was looking for somebody that lived in Nigeria and was not ready to ‘japa’ (relocate).
“I got a lot of advances from guys abroad but I did not want to leave Nigeria. My former husband lived abroad. I can speak Hausa, and my husband can speak the language too. We have many things in common.
“When we finally met, I realised that I could give him a chance. After about two weeks (of knowing each other), we met in person.
“I was never desperate about marriage. Rather, I was patiently waiting. I knew the kind of person I wanted, and I knew that God would bring that person in His own time, so I was not bothered.”
