Nollywood actress and film producer, Ini Edo, opened up about her single status at the age of 41 in a candid interview on Toke Makinwa’s podcast, Toke Moments.
During the interview, the actress explained that she remains single because she is looking for a partner who genuinely loves her. She emphasized that she isn’t seeking extravagance in a man but values someone who can offer respect and protection.
Ini Edo highlighted the importance of a man providing protective energy and genuine respect, emphasizing that these qualities are crucial for her. While acknowledging the presence of love, she also made a distinction between loving someone and being ready to commit to them.
For Ini Edo, the criteria go beyond financial status; it is more about a person’s ability to navigate and handle life’s challenges. In an earlier interview, she also addressed the issue of why some men are afraid of successful women.
In her words;
“I am still single because I just want somebody that would really love me. That’s all. I’m not asking for too much.
“Not like I don’t see love. Loving somebody and being loved are two different things. You can love someone but you are not ready to be committed. Maybe this is why I’m still single: I can’t be in a toxic relationship.
“If you cannot give me that protective energy that allows me to respect you… I can not be with a man that I don’t respect. If you can not earn my respect, then we cannot be together. Because what’s the point?
“When it gets to the point when I start to disrespect you, that means you have brought yourself down to a point where I begin to talk back at you. Sometimes, it’s not even about having money. It’s about how you are able to love and manage situations and the people around you. Kindness!”.

I just listened to Actress Ini Edo talk about why “she’s still not married.”
I think she clearly didn’t get her thought process right. She kept contradicting herself in trying to justify her reasons.
