Popular media personality and actor Denola Grey has criticized African parents who pressure their children into marriage.
Speaking on a podcast on the 19th of June, 2024, Denola asserted that many marriages resemble “slavery,” with numerous couples living unhappy lives.
He emphasized that when he decides to settle down, it will be with someone he loves, not merely tolerates.
“When will you marry? When will you fix your marriage? How about that? I don’t know why they are so obsessed with marriage because a lot of them are not in happy marriages, especially like the older generation,” he said.
“I’m like, so you want me to just meet someone, marry them and just be managing them. Like, I hate slavery.”
