Nollywood actress and film producer, Ini Edo, gets candid as she addresses the reason behind her single status at the age of 41.
During an interview on Toke Makinwa‘s podcast, Toke Moments, the movie star explained that she remains single because she desires a partner who truly loves her.
Ini Edo emphasized that she isn’t seeking extravagance in a man but is looking for someone who can offer respect and protection.
She expressed that a man’s ability to provide protective energy and genuine respect is crucial for her. While Ini acknowledged the presence of love, she highlighted the distinction between loving someone and being ready to commit to them.
For her, it goes beyond financial status and is more about one’s ability to navigate and handle life’s challenges. It is also worth noting that in an earlier interview, she addressed why men are afraid of successful women.
In her words;
Quote
“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 think she clearly didn’t get her thought process right. She kept contradicting herself in trying to justify her reasons.
In the video she said “I’m single because I haven’t found love.” She went on… pic.twitter.com/GjVzRi7kbh
