Actress and film producer Abimbola Craig has described marriage as a “scam.”

She shared her thoughts during an interview with Chude Jideonwo.

Craig expressed doubts about traditional marital roles, highlighting the unequal expectations often placed on women in such unions.

However, she clarified that her decision to remain single isn’t due to a dislike for marriage but stems from her desire for a partner who possesses self-awareness and a clear sense of purpose.

According to her, her mother had previously referred to the title “Mrs” as meaning “Master’s in Residential Servicing”.

“All marriage is a scam. When I was small, my mum always told me marriage is an institution. She said when they call you ‘Mrs,’ it stands for ‘Master’s in Residential Servicing’.”

“I am not married, not because I do not want to be married, but if you are a man who does not know who he is, you cannot be with me”, she said.

As a talented actress and producer, she is known for her role in “Skinny Girl in Transit” and co-producing the 2019 hit film “Sugar Rush”.

Earlier this year, Craig opened up about her near-death experience following brain surgery in 2014.

Actress Abimbola Craig has recalled her near-death experience after undergoing a brain surgery 10 years ago.

Dating back to 2014, the actress, via her YouTube channel, said she battled nausea, insomnia and weight loss after the surgery.

She said her doctors ran multiple spinal taps (lumbar punctures) but could not identify the cause, adding that they even began to suspect meningitis.

The actress, however, said she is healthy but thought she was going to die while battling the complications.

She wrote: “Four days after the surgery I started feeling weird but I could not explain what it was that was wrong with me. I could not eat. I could not sleep and I also started losing my appetite and started losing weight,” she said.

“I remember my last ER visit. I was still throwing up so much that Mum tried to reach my doctor but could not. At this time I was doing a lumbar puncture, I had four that day. Lumbar punctures are like spinal taps. So they tell you to bend and take fluids from the spine and the reason why they did this is because they still did not know what was wrong with me so they thought I had meningitis.

“10 years after my surgery, I am alive. I am healthy and doing things I never thought I’d be able to do again. I thought I was going to die, not even from the brain surgery. It was during the period of the lumbar puncture, not sure if I had meningitis and all. I literally thought I was going to die.”
