The talented Nollywood actress, Angela Eguavoen, recently shared her perspective on relationships and marriage, emphasizing her aversion to being involved with a "mummy's boy." In an interview with Saturday Beat, Angela explained that while she values a man who respects and listens to someone in his family, she has no intention of marrying a man who is overly dependent on his mother.
Angela emphasized the importance of finding a partner who is independent and capable of making his own decisions. She stated, "I cannot marry a mummy's boy. He has to be a man of himself. Of course, I want a man that has someone in his family that he respects and listens to. He has to be someone who keeps to his words and cannot be easily swayed."
In addition to her stance on mummy's boys, Angela revealed that she has no plans to allow any relatives to live with her and her future husband, except in cases where the mother-in-law is unwell and requires care. Angela emphasized her busy lifestyle and asserted that permanent cohabitation with in-laws is not ideal for newly-wed couples.
Speaking about friendships in the Nollywood industry, Angela expressed her preference for a small circle of genuine friends. She stated, "I don't know about them. I do not keep many friends. I have just a few of them, and they have all been true to me. I believe friendship should not be a one-sided thing. If we (friends) are benefiting from each other, the person won't think I am using them."
She added, "But, one way or the other, one person will outdo the other at some point. However, that one person is doing better than the other does not mean they cannot do better later."
Angela has previously expressed her strong stance on being in a relationship where she is not respected. She stated, "I love relationships, I love love. But I'd rather remain single than be in a relationship with someone who doesn't respect me, have my back, or support me, and most importantly, my career. It's a NO! NO! For marriage, I am going to get married to the love of my life someday. But for now, I am single as they come."
