In a new Interview with ThisDay, Nigerian actress, Doris Simeon has disclosed that men o longer want to play their role as husbands.
According to the single mother of one who was asked if single motherhood is now a norm in Nollywood, women are not at fault when it comes to being single parents.
She said:
“Single motherhood is not peculiar to Nollywood. If you go to the banking sector, there are single mothers there; in the military, in law firms and other fields, there are single mothers. It is not our fault; it’s just that men no longer want to play their role as husbands. I am not a supporter of single parenthood: every man or woman has the right to live their life the way they choose. It’s just by God’s grace that I am acting and producing. Emotional trauma is not what I will encourage anybody to pass through. God created every woman for a man. So marriage is good”.
The award-winning Yoruba and English actress revealed that she is not legally divorced from her ex-husband and father of her son, Daniel Ademinokan, as their divorce process is still ongoing in court. She, however, added that she is a single and a happy woman.
When asked if there is any possibility that herself and her ex-husband who is now married to actress Stella Damasus, would reconcile, Doris said:
“I don’t dwell in the past. I don’t want to talk about that anymore. I have moved on. I have no regret at all. I have only learnt to be stronger. The truth is that I have forgotten about everything. Time has erased it (the emotional pain I went through). I am now a better person. Today, I am closer to God and I put God first in everything I do. I never gave up on love. I have found love again in Jesus. I am married to my career right now. I am in a relationship anyway but I want to be private about it. I thank God because I am a better person. My career and business are going on well”.
