Why I’m Still Single And Childless At 52 – Nigerian Actress, Bimbo Akintola Opens Up

Published

on

The actress revealed that she once met someone she believed she could share forever with, but he passed away, and she has not found anyone else since.

Bimbo Akintola, the Nollywood actress, has revealed the reasons she remains single.

In an interview with Pulse Nigeria, the 52-year old thespian said she does not have children and explained that her single status is not by choice.

Naija News reports that Akintola, whose mother is from Edo State and father from Oyo State, described marriage as a sacred union that should take place in the house of God, surrounded by loved ones.

She said she has not yet found the right person to spend her life with.

The actress revealed that she once met someone she believed she could share forever with, but he passed away, and she has not found anyone else since.

She explained that honesty and truth are important to her, and she would not marry someone unless she was sure she could be with them for life.

Akintola added that she is open to marriage at any age if she meets the right person, even at 78.

According to her, while marriage does not define a woman’s worth, it becomes more important as people grow older and children move on with their own lives.

She said that companionship in later years helps to prevent loneliness.

She said: “I don’t have children, unfortunately. Marraige is important. Marriage is simple. It’s something that you do in the house of God. You go to church, call everyone that love you and say those vows that you will cherish and do the the rest of your life with. I haven’t found the person I would do the rest of my life with. I did found. But he died. And I haven’t found since then. And I can’t lie, I don’t know how to live a lie. I want everything to be in truthfulness. I want to be true to myself and God. I don’t think I would want to marry anyone that I won’t be able to stay with them forever

And everyone is going their way, children have grown they are going their way. There’s something called loneliness, so you need a companion for the later years.”

Nollywood legend Pete Edochie reveals his favourite Nigerian politician

Published

on

Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has revealed that former Premier of the defunct Western Region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, is his favourite Nigerian politician of all time.

Speaking on a recent episode of Curiosity Made Me Ask, hosted by content creator BaeU, Edochie explained that Awolowo pioneered several developmental initiatives in Nigeria, including establishing the first television station and introducing free primary education.

He said, regrettably, Awolowo never won a presidential election despite his impressive achievements.

“I am not into politics but if you ask me who is or was my favourite politician, I will tell you it is Obafemi Awolowo. Awolowo will tell you, ‘I’m going to build this thing, it will cost so-and-so amount and this is where I’m going to get the money from.’ There is no politician who has achieved that kind of transparency.

“Awolowo brought television to Nigeria in 1959. It was the first in Africa. And we in the East started using television in 1960. He also introduced free primary education. Regrettably, he never became president,” he said.

Why Do Some People Hate Being Corrected?

Published

on

Some people can accept praise without a problem—but the moment you point out their mistake, everything changes.

You bring facts, they bring anger.

You try to explain, they become defensive.

You calmly point out that they may be wrong, and suddenly you become the problem.

But why?

For some people, being corrected feels like an attack on their intelligence, authority, or pride. Instead of seeing correction as an opportunity to learn, they see it as an attempt to embarrass them.

And let’s be honest: nobody knows everything.

Even intelligent and experienced people make mistakes. The ability to listen, reconsider your position, and admit when you are wrong is not weakness—it is a sign of maturity.

At the same time, correction should be done with respect. There is a big difference between helping someone understand their mistake and deliberately embarrassing them in front of others.

The real question is:

Do people hate being corrected because of pride, or because they genuinely believe they are right?

And another question:

How do you react when someone points out that you are wrong?

👇 Share your opinion in the comments. Let’s have an honest conversation.

Parental Trauma vs. Outside Trauma: Which Hurts Children More?

Published

on

A child can survive many difficult experiences—but what happens when the person causing the pain is the same person they expect to protect them?

This is a question many families may not want to discuss.

Trauma from outsiders can come from bullying, relatives, teachers, friends, or other people. It can damage a child’s confidence and leave emotional scars for years.

But parental trauma can feel different.

When a child repeatedly experiences humiliation, rejection, harsh insults, neglect, constant comparison, fear, or emotional abuse from a parent, the child may begin to question their own worth.

The painful irony is that the child may still desperately want the love and approval of the person hurting them.

But here is where the debate gets complicated:

Is parental trauma always worse than trauma from outsiders?

Or can an experience involving an outsider be just as devastating—or even worse—depending on what happened and how long it lasted?

🔥 THE NEWSBREAK365 QUESTION:

Which one do you think hurts children more?

🔴 PARENTAL TRAUMA
🔵 TRAUMA CAUSED BY OUTSIDERS

Don’t just choose one.

Tell us what you think and explain your reasons. 👇

Someone reading your comment may see their own childhood experience differently.
