Nollywood actress Nancy Isime has recently shared her thoughts on marriage and career.
The 32-year-old stated that, in contrast to most young girls, she has never “daydreamed about getting married” in an interview with Lynda for the Creativitea Live podcast.
The actress stressed that she directs her attention towards developing a career and reaching financial security.
Additionally, she stated that it wouldn’t matter if she was married in a “big or small” wedding.
“You know when young girls used to sit down and daydream about getting married, I never did. I used to daydream about working and making my own money and being independent,” she said.
“I fear that I might not even have my dream wedding because what is a dream wedding? Even if I get married, it would just be a wedding that we both agree on at the same time… If it is a big wedding, if we feel it, it’s fine. If it is a small wedding, whatever we feel.”
Recall that, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) urged the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to prohibit a contentious film starring Nancy Isime.
Isime recently tweeted a poster for the upcoming film “Blood Brothers,” in which she is shown clutching a gun and donning a niqab.
Some Muslim women cover their entire body and face, save for their eyes, with a long cloth called a niqāb.
But the tweet set off a social media backlash, with some users taking offence at the actress for wearing Muslim clothing while showing a cinematic scene of a heist.
In a statement on Thursday by Ishaq Akintola, its director, MURIC described the film as “satanic,” arguing that it portrays Muslim women as “criminals with violent proclivities”.
Akintola said if the NFVCB failed to take necessary actions, the development could “set Nigeria on fire”.
