Veteran Nollywood actress Morenike Alausa, popularly known as Mama Ereko, has opened up about her decision not to remarry following the death of her husband. During a recent interview on Talk2Dunnis TV on YouTube, the 79-year-old actress shared her reasons, citing the physical, emotional, and sexual demands of marriage as factors that can accelerate aging in women.

Mama Ereko emphasized that avoiding the stresses of marriage has helped her maintain her youthful appearance. “If I had remarried, you wouldn’t be admiring my elegant and beautiful look at my age,” she said.

She further explained, “I didn’t remarry because the stress of intercourse and the demands of marriage can make people look older than their age. I don’t need a man anymore because I’ve already turned into a man myself. In fact, I can’t even remember how it feels to have sex anymore.”

Her candid remarks highlight her choice to prioritize her well-being and independence over societal expectations, offering a unique perspective on life after marriage
