“I can’t build with a man, they are ungrateful” – Kunle Afolayan’s daughter, Eyiyemi, provokes reactions
- Eyiyemi Afolayan is the daughter of director Kunle Afolayan.
- In an interview with the BBC, she shared her views on relationships and marriage.
- Eyiyemi prefers to marry a man of modest means rather than a rich one.
Eyiyemi Afolayan, daughter of famous Nollywood director and actor, Kunle Afolayan, has sparked conversations online after sharing her honest thoughts on relationships, marriage and financial stability.
During an interview with the BBC, the actress revealed that she would rather marry a man of modest means than a wealthy one, explaining that financial status can sometimes influence people’s behavior in relationships.
According to her, she values a man who is hardworking and self-sufficient over one whose wealth can affect his commitment. She mentioned that she is not financially interested in carrying a partner, although she is ready to support her husband who is already engaged in something meaningful.
Speaking on the subject, Eyiyemi said:
“I can’t build with a man. Why can’t I build with a man? You know men; they’re ungrateful.
If I marry a man who has no money and I see money, if I marry him, he will stay with me, not because he loves me, but because he has no money to flirt around.”
She further stated:
“I was born into wealth. Any man who wants to marry me has to do something for himself. I can’t feed him, but I can support him.”
The actress also expressed her position on polygamy, making it clear that she would never consider becoming a second or third wife.
Explaining her position, she said she believes polygamous marriages often come with avoidable conflicts and complications.
In her words:
“I can’t be the second or third wife of any man. It’s not because I’m jealous or anything like that. A polygamous home brings a lot of problems.”
Despite her views, Eyiyemi stressed that she respects her father’s personal decisions and supports his right to live life on his own terms. She added that she and her siblings will continue to stand by him regardless of the choices he makes.
