Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare has advised career-oriented women to prioritise having children over marriage.

The actress stated this while sharing her opinion on how to achieve a long term career success.

Speaking in an interview with Nollywood On Radio, Bakare argued that marriage is not necessary to start a family, citing her personal experience.

“If you are aspiring to be a successful superstar 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 getting married early may lead to divorce but I mean starting a family early. Maybe I should retract that because I do not mean marriage. I never thought of marriage when I had my first child, I just wanted a baby.

“So the advice is not to get married early but start having a family.”

DAILY POST recalls that the 43-year-old Laide waa previously married to Olumide Kunfulire, with whom she had a daughter named Simi in 2008.

In 2013 Bakare tied the knot for the second time with a Lagos socialite, Tunde Oriowo, and they had two sons together.
