Nollywood actress,
Halima Abubakar said she was
looking forward to losing her
'virginity' and having kids, and has been receiving lot of criticism from that.
In a chat with Sunday Scoop,
Abubakar talked about the people who are doubting her virginity.
"Why would people become
annoyed because I said I am a
virgin? Just because I'm in the
industry does not mean I am
badly behaved. Not everyone is
sexually active. You can have a
boyfriend and not be sexually
active. The reaction I got shows
the mentality of the people. If I
say I'm a virgin, I am and if I say I
am not, then I am not. They tell
me to go get married, should I
go after someone else's
husband?," she said.
Abubakar continued, "Everybody
thinks one should get married
from age 18. A lot of marriages
are complicated. Marriage will
come when it will come, one
doesn't need to force it. People
are getting divorced with
pregnancies because they got
married under pressure. We
should let people be. People are
saying if you are not getting
married, go and get kids because
menopause is approaching. What
kind of thing is that? Is it your
menopause? I still have about
nine years before I hit
menopause all things being
equal. I am not one of those
people that will kill themselves
because of marriage. I can't have
kids outside marriage."
