<p>Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo said she and her partner, music executive and show promoter Paul Okoye, aka Paulo, are enjoying their relationship despite not being married.</p>, <p>She said they don’t want to get married to each other because they feel that “marriage is overrated.”</p>, <p>The mother of two spoke in the latest episode of her TV show, Iyabo Ojo TV, which had veteran singer Charly Boy as a guest.</p>, <p>She said: “I am enjoying my relationship. I am enjoying it. Luckily for me, he Paulo Okoye also doesn’t believe in marriage. We feel like it is overrated.”</p>, <p>Charly Boy concurred: “I agree with you that marriage is overrated. My son called me the other day and said, ‘Dad, why can’t people have a contract and say we will just do five years in marriage and if we are lucky and happy, we renew the contract?’</p>, <p>“It sounds funny but you know, there are different coping mechanisms because these days, marriage is not what it used to be when our parents got married. Marriage is a little bit muddled up now. And people are a little bit more individualistic than they used to be before. Nobody wants to serve anybody. Everybody wants to get their own. So, that’s where the problem starts.”</p>
