Actress, Bimbo Akintola - “I’ll Marry When I Meet The Right Man”

Talented Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola is gradually thinking about marriage as she approaches age 42.

The actress in a recent interview with Daily Sun said she is not in a rush to get married.
Bimbo Akintola said if she doesn’t find a man to love for the rest of her life, she won’t bother giving marriage a try.
Interview excerpt below
Do you sometimes think about marriage?
Of course, I do. Like every human being on earth, I do. Marriage is such a huge step, it’s deep. Marriage is the relationship that is the most difficult of all relationships. If I can’t see someone and say oh, yeah, I wanna be with this person for the rest of my life or even think it, I won’t do it.
I say that all the time and people say oh my God, she said she would never marry, I can’t believe it. That’s not what I’m saying (Voice rising). I’m simply saying if I don’t see someone that I believe I can look at for the rest of my life, I won’t do it.
So, what do you want in a man?
Someone that has principles, integrity, someone that’s kind, someone that’s funny, someone that’s clean (Chuckles). Very clean! Someone that’s compassionate. You see, it’s not about being tall, dark and handsome, it’s not about money. We would work for it together or whatever. My mum didn’t marry my father a rich man. So, I don’t put much emphasis on money.
It’s not about money or looks, it’s about your heart and your head. So, for me o, I have to be in the person’s heart and the person’s head. Intellect and you know, human feelings.
In her long time in Nollywood, the actress simply stopped trying after a lot of headache finding the right man.
She was quoted saying she would rather wait a lifetime than to snatch another woman’s husband.

Manchester United's Youngsters - Ryan Giggs Urges To Make A Big Impact In The First Team

 

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson can assess his options for the next campaign after United regained the Premier League title with four games to spare.
Belgian teenager Adnan Januzaj has been added to the first-team squad as they prepare to face Chelsea on Sunday and Giggs believes the young players must make a big impact if they are to remain at Old Trafford for the long-term.
"I have seen so many young players over the years have a chance and not really take it," he said.
"Others think 'this is my chance I am going to make sure the manager takes notice' and they perform like they have been doing in the youth team or the reserves.
"Nick Powell did it earlier this season. He came on against Wigan and scored. That is what young players have to do."
Giggs would move onto 937 appearances if he faces Chelsea this weekend, but the Welshman insists he has not lost any of his passion for success during a 22-year career.
"The hunger comes from a lot of things," he said. "First and foremost it is about enjoyment. I enjoy the challenge.
"Obviously I am coming to the end of my career, so I am thinking could this be my last chance to win a trophy.
"But retaining hunger is not something I need to try for. It just happens.
"You have to do it at this club. When you go out at Old Trafford, you have to perform. In away games it is the same.
"That comes from making sure I am ready for the game by what I do in training. I have done that for so long I just carry on."
