Nigerian singer, Iyanya, has given reasons why he is scared of getting married, OduNews reports.
Iyanya who spoke on the podcast, WithChude, said his fears about marriage stemmed from his childhood experiences.
“I like to say it has a joke to my friends that one day someone will come out and say you forgot your baby somewhere,” he said.
“To be real here, I pray to God for a beautiful home. It’s not easy because my experiences as a child have made it difficult for me to just settle for anything.
“It’s not that I don’t want to get married or be in a serious relationship, but marriage is scary for me.
“At the end of the day, you just have to do it, but I don’t stop praying for a beautiful marriage and a beautiful home.
“When I got into the industry, I still didn’t understand it. So, I was still being the same guy thinking it’s okay to show people your girl which is fun.
“After a while, you will realize it is not healthy especially when you guys have not sorted your foundation out or you don’t have a grip on each other.
“For example, you fall in love with a female celebrity, and you try to change her. She’s going to be a rebel because the first thing to her is that she’s the queen out there and you just want to make her a housewife.
“The same thing with the guys, when you have to sacrifice your shows and tours to focus. It’s a whole lot of things and all I just want to do is to sort out my life before I start bringing a woman into it. I’m just trying to make sure I’m okay.”
