In a heartfelt Instagram post dated April 10, 2024, Ojo outlined her life journey, stating, "Marriage – done and dusted. Had kids – done and dusted. Raised my kids – done and dusted. Next stage: Enjoyment! Enjoyment! Enjoyment!" This declaration underscores her commitment to embracing life's pleasures without the formalities of marriage.
Addressing inquiries from fans about the possibility of marriage proposals, Ojo clarified that both she and Okoye share similar views on the institution of marriage. She responded to a follower's question about a potential proposal from Paulo by affirming, "We are on the same page." This mutual understanding highlights their aligned perspectives on prioritizing companionship over traditional marital commitments.
Ojo further elaborated on her stance during an episode of her TV show, "Iyabo Ojo TV," featuring veteran singer Charly Boy. She expressed, "I am enjoying my relationship. I am enjoying it. Luckily for me, he [Paulo Okoye] also doesn’t believe in marriage. We feel like it is overrated." This sentiment reflects a growing trend among individuals who view marriage as an outdated institution, opting instead for relationships that prioritize mutual respect and personal happiness.
Charly Boy concurred with Ojo's perspective, sharing an anecdote about modern relationship dynamics. He recounted a conversation with his son, who suggested, "Dad, why can’t people have a contract and say we will just do five years in marriage and if we are lucky and happy, we renew the contract?" This narrative underscores the evolving nature of relationships in contemporary society, where traditional marital structures are being reconsidered.
Ojo's reflections resonate with many who have experienced the complexities of marriage and choose to prioritize personal fulfillment. Her openness about seeking enjoyment and companionship without the formalities of marriage offers a refreshing perspective on modern relationships. As societal norms continue to evolve, Ojo's stance exemplifies the importance of individual choice in defining personal happiness and relationship satisfaction.
