Actress Eyiyemi Afolayan, the daughter of filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, has declared her firm refusal to enter into a polygamous marriage. In an interview with BBC News Yoruba, the Aníkúlápó star explained that her decision stems from the inherent complications and discord often found in such arrangements rather than simple jealousy.
Addressing her expectations for a partner, the actress emphasized the necessity of financial independence. She stated that she would not consider a suitor who relies on her for support. Given her upbringing, she insists that any potential husband must be established in his own career. While she is open to providing support to a partner, she explicitly stated that she has no interest in being the primary breadwinner or ‘building a man from scratch,’ as she believes personal wealth can sometimes alter a person’s behavior.
These comments have drawn significant attention, highlighting the evolving views on marriage and financial roles among young professionals in the entertainment industry.
