53years old Yeni Kuti is the first child of late Afro Beat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. She is one of those ladies who want to be independent and she hates the idea of being controlled by her man. In a recent chat, Yeni told City People that she has made up her mind never to get married. Her words below:
“I am not single.I have somebody in my life. We have been together for like 7 years. We respect each other. But we are not married. I believe that if we ever marry, our relationship will lose the dynamics that we have. I have my house. He has his house. He stays at mine when he wants, I stays at his when I want. It’s a kind of loose arrangement. We go on holiday together. We love each other. But the day we marry, we would now start fighting for space.
“By the time I bring all my clothes and shoes where would he keep them. This way I think it works. He respects the fact that I don’t want to get married.
“I know a guy who advised me to marry the man I am dating right now…
But most people don’t seem to get the point. I don’t want to get married. I am happy the way I am. I am proud of who I am. I don’t need a man to say I am somebody. I can be who I am without a man. I don’t need a man as a prop to survive. If I am with a man I am with him because I love him, because of who he is.
“Not because I can’t go to an event alone, or go without a man. I can go to an event alone and enjoy myself, I will sit by myself, carry my Ipad and start checking my mails, I don’t need any props. I guess that’s why I have been able to stay single.”
