Media personality Denola Grey has spoken out against the pressure African parents put on their children to get married.
Denola believes that many marriages are unfulfilling and likened them to “slavery”, expressing his desire to wait for a partner he truly loves, rather than tolerating someone just to appease societal expectations.
He stated this in a recent interview on ‘DressedToConfess‘ podcast.
He questioned why older generations are so fixated on marriage, suggesting that many of them are not happy in their own marriages.

According to him: ‘’When will you marry? When will you fix your marriage? How about that? I don’t know why they are so obsessed with marriage because a lot of them are not in happy marriages, especially like the older generation.
“I’m like so you want me to just meet someone, marry them and just be managing them. Like, I hate slavery”.
