The
first child of Afro beat Legend,Fela Kuti, Yeni Kuti has revealed her thoughts
on marriage in a recent interview. Yeni whose ex-husband died in March has a
daughter, Rolari who is in her mid-20s…..
Yeni said:
“I am not single.I have
somebody in my life. We have been together for like 7 years. We respect each
other. But we are not married. I believe that if we ever marry, our
relationship will lose the dynamics that we have. I have my house. He has his
house. He stays at mine when he wants, I stays at his when I want. It’s a kind
of loose arrangement. We go on holiday together. We love each other. But the day
we marry, we would now start fighting for space. By the time I bring all my
clothes and shoes where would he keep them. This way I think it works. He
respects the fact that I don’t want to get married.” “I know a guy who advised
me to marry the man I am dating right now, but most people don’t seem to get
the point. I don’t want to get married. I am happy the way I am. I am proud of
who I am. I don’t need a man to say I am somebody. I can be who I am without a
man. I don’t need a man as a prop to survive. If I am with a man I am with him
because I love him, because of who he is.”
“Not because I can’t go to an event
alone, or go without a man. I can go to an event alone and enjoy myself, I will
sit by myself, carry my Ipad and start checking my mails, I don’t need any
props. I guess that’s why I have been able to stay single.”
