Don’t Marry a Mad Man Just to Impress People – Ruth Eze Tells Women
Nollywood actress Ruth Eze has cautioned women against rushing into marriage to meet societal expectations or impress others, warning that such decisions could lead to deep regret.
In a recent Instagram post, Eze stressed the importance of patience and intentionality when it comes to choosing a life partner. She warned women not to let peer or online pressure push them into settling for the wrong person.
“My sister, it’s better to wait and marry right,” she wrote. “Don’t let the internet pressure you. Don’t end up marrying a madman just to impress people who don’t even care about you.”
Eze, known for her frank approach to sensitive topics, added that being with someone who simply matches a physical or material “spec” is not enough. She urged women to focus on long-term compatibility rather than quick wins.
“Calm down,” she advised. “Don’t settle just because he looks good on paper.”
While advocating for patience, the actress also acknowledged that some women might choose to have children while waiting for the right partner — a decision she supported with a light-hearted tone.
“My point is: wait and marry right. While waiting, you fit drop one, that’s okay. I’ve said my own,” she concluded.
Her comments have sparked a wave of reactions online, resonating with many Nigerians navigating the pressures of love, marriage, and societal expectations.
