Actress and film producer Abimbola Craig has candidly described marriage as a “scam.” Speaking during an interview with Chude Jideonwo, she voiced her reservations about traditional gender roles within marriage, emphasizing the often disproportionate expectations placed upon women.
However, she made it clear that her choice to remain single is not out of dislike for the institution of marriage, but rather a desire for a partner who embodies self-awareness and a clear sense of purpose.
Reflecting on her childhood, she shared a unique perspective on the title “Mrs,” describing it as a “Master’s in Residential Servicing,” as recounted by her mother.
“All marriage is a scam. When I was small, my mum always told me marriage is an institution. She said when they call you ‘Mrs,’ it stands for ‘Master’s in Residential Servicing’.”
“I am not married, not because I do not want to be married, but if you are a man who does not know who he is, you cannot be with me”, she said.
As a talented actress and producer, she is known for her role in “Skinny Girl in Transit” and for co-producing the 2019 hit film “Sugar Rush”.
Earlier this year, Craig revealed a deeply personal experience of a near-death episode following brain surgery in 2014, adding a layer of vulnerability to her already distinguished career.
