Popular media personality, Moet Abebe, has argued that “marriage is a scam”.
According to Moet Abebe, she could have been a married woman but things didn’t work out between herself and her ex-fiance.
She revealed this in a recent conversation with media figure Chude Jideonwo.
The TV host claimed that because of the abuse in the relationship,
she ended it:
“Marriage is a scam, is a fair question, it is,”
“If someone is so particular about something, maybe the person is coming from a place of knowledge or like an experience, at least they say experience is the best teacher.
“Apart from that, I have just noticed that a lot of people are getting married for the wrong reasons. A lot of people are doing it because of pressure.
“A lot of people believe that oh yes it’s time, I’m in my 30s, why shouldn’t I be and you end up being with people you would have never ended up being with in the first place – bad marriages.
“And I just feel like we should just take some time to actually love ourselves first.
“I believe if I don’t love myself if I don’t have these reminders to tell me of who I am, how can someone else fall in love with me?
“Especially from a woman’s perspective and that’s why I’m particular about women going into marriages. And just going into it because of the pressure.
“It has to be deeper than that, and feel a lot of us aren’t thinking about that, we are thinking about the wedding and the honeymoon but marriage is so much deeper than that.”
In 2021, Abebe said she was not interested in getting married because “it is a fraud.”
