Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare, has advised career-oriented ladies to prioritize having children early to achieve long-term professional success.
Naija News reports that the movie star, in an interview with Nollywood On Radio, shared unconventional views on balancing career and family.
Citing her personal experience, Laide said she just wanted a baby at the time she had her first child and not necessarily thinking about marriage.
She said, “If you are aspiring to be a superstar, successful in your career as a young girl, I would advise you to get married and have kids early.
“So that you can have the rest of your years to push your career because the family area is very important.
“I know that getting married very early may lead to divorce so I mean starting a family early.
“Maybe I should retract that because I do not mean marriage. I never thought of marriage. The time I had my first child, I just wanted a baby.
“So the advice is not to get married early but start having a family.”
The thespian also clarified the rift with her colleague Eniola Badmus, who misunderstood the advice as a reference to her being childless.
She added, “Recently, I saw Eniola Badmus so we wanted to continue our quarrel and she said I called her childless.
“So I told her I meant and only said start a family. I meant to start a family not go and get married, just have your kids. Not necessarily marriage but at least have kids.”
