At 46, I’ve Never Married: Yoruba Data Analyst Explains Why She Chooses Singleness

A 46-year-old Yoruba woman says marriage never appealed to her despite society’s pressure. She’s never been engaged or planned a wedding. In a viral video, she explains she never prioritized tying the knot. She’s been in serious relationships, including one that lasted five years, but marriage was never her goal. Raised in a stable, professional home, she observed many unions around her and saw her mother’s struggles firsthand. As a data analyst studying AI, she approaches life decisions like a data problem. She studies patterns and history and concluded early on that marriage wasn’t for her. Her biggest fear is being trapped in an unhappy marriage. She’d rather face challenges alone than stay miserable. Her story has ignited discussions about societal expectations and personal choice.
