Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, Yemi Alade, has argued that finding the right partner to walk down the aisle with is far more important than the marriage ceremony itself.
The ‘Johnny’ crooner made this known during her latest interview with Cool FM, where she lamented that she is under pressure to marry and have children.
She, however, said she will not be rushed in tying the knot and added that anyone who genuinely has her best interests at heart, will be patient with her.
The 34-year-old singer went on to advise people against bowing to family pressure and rushing into marriage, as it might lead to making the wrong decision.

While subtly refuting the viral reports of her marriage to her manager, Yemi Alade said: “People often get married, especially towards the end of every year. I’m not feeling pressured. When the time is right, it will happen.
“Family pressure is a challenging thing to resist because it’s coming from the people I respect and look up to, insisting that I should get married. However, I believe that if they genuinely have my best interests at heart, they will be patient with me because finding the right partner is more crucial than just getting married.
“But beyond that, I don’t think anyone should rush into making the wrong decision of being with the wrong partner.”
