Media mogul Mo Abudu has spoken about her views on heartbreak, declaring that at 62, she would rather be emotional over work than a romantic relationship.
The EbonyLife Media founder made the remarks during an interview with media personality Toke Makinwa, where she explained that heartbreak over a man was no longer something she would allow herself to experience.
“Heartbreak. Nobody can break my heart. It’s not possible. Heartbreak. There’s no such thing as heartbreak at my age. If I cry, it’s not because of a man. It may be because of my work,” she said.
Abudu also advised women against trying to keep a man in a relationship when he is no longer interested, urging them to recognise their worth and move on.
“Listen, you cannot make a man be in a relationship with you. If he wants to be, he will. If he doesn’t want to be in it, he’s kidding you. Leave him. Move on. He doesn’t want to be there,” she said.
She further cautioned young women against lowering their self-worth for men who deceive them or show little commitment to their relationships.
“You have to get over it, because you need to read the writing, guys. It is easy. Because don’t downgrade yourself in front of anybody. And to young girls, don’t downgrade yourself. He will sleep with you. He will deceive you. He will lie to you, and you’re still there. Doing what? Pressure of what? Or be with a man, a man who doesn’t want you?
“You know in your gut that he’s messing around. True. Because he hasn’t called you for two weeks. He’s ghosting you. He’s telling you he’s busy doing what? Chasing somebody else.
“If you see those kinds of people, leave them alone. Those types of people don’t want you. Please, ladies,” she added.
