‘And for this reason will a man leave his parents and cling to his wife’ so did a Bible passage say in the book of Genesis. In this part of the world, Africa, marriage is seen as a necessity, especially for a lady. It is very common for a woman to be reminded of her age when she refuses to bring a man home after reaching certain ages.

Also, in this part of the continent, women who have status and are rich are always feared by young and single men due to fear of the known and the unknown. The issue of whether the ‘rich’ woman would totally submit herself to the man at home is what most men don’t want to play with.

While most men believe a woman’s career ends in the kitchen, some career women and society ladies believe otherwise. So, there is the fear that female celebrities might not be submissive to any man because of their status.

For some actresses in the Nigerian film industry referred to as Nollywood, they have remained single despite attaining marriageable ages due to some of these reasons. Some of them have remained single mothers, have never married before, or have divorced their husbands and may be enjoying their present single status.

Below are few of Nollywood actresses who have remained single despite reaching marriageable ages.
