Nollywood actress and producer Ayomide Dawodu has revealed she is still single and in no rush to remarry, years after the breakdown of a relationship she describes as memorable despite its painful end.
Speaking in an interview with Potpourri, the Lagos-born filmmaker shared that she hasn't found love since parting ways with her former partner in 2018.
According to Dawodu, the relationship was a beautiful experience that unfortunately reached its conclusion, though she still holds onto the fond memories of that chapter in her life.
The Single Action producer dismissed suggestions that she is actively looking for a partner, emphasizing that she has built a fulfilling life for herself and refuses to be pressured by society into walking down the aisle again.
“The whole world is probably asking you when you’ll get married, but that decision is yours. Don’t rush it,” she said, while encouraging women to be strong, courageous, hardworking and self-determined.
She advised women to remain steadfast in pursuing their ambitions, protect their independence, and refuse to compare their progress to others.
“As a woman, you ought to be strong, self-determined, courageous and hardworking. Don’t set limits for yourself. Don’t engage in competitions; do your own thing,” she said.
When asked about the qualities she looks for in a future partner, Dawodu explained that she is waiting for a man who is honest, God fearing, understanding, loving and caring.
“I want the right man who’s honest, mature, intelligent, has a positive attitude, is helpful, God-fearing, understanding, loving and caring,” she stated.
Beyond her personal life, Dawodu revealed that she is developing new film projects. She is currently working on scripts and preparing for her next production, following the success of Single Action, a movie that greatly enhanced her reputation in the Nigerian film industry.
