I want the right man, not just a marriage – Ayomide Dawodu

By Ayo Onikoyi

Nollywood actress and producer Ayomide Dawodu has said that she remains single and is not in a hurry to remarry, even years after the end of a relationship she described as memorable despite its painful conclusion.

In an interview with Potpourri, the Lagos-born filmmaker explained that she has not found love since her partnership ended in 2018.

Dawodu described the relationship as a beautiful experience that ultimately ended, yet she still holds onto the positive memories from that chapter of her life.

The producer of the film Single Action dismissed suggestions that she is actively searching for a partner, emphasizing that she has built a fulfilling life for herself and is not driven by societal pressure to get married again.

“The whole world is probably asking you when you’ll get married, but that decision is yours. Don’t rush it,” she said, encouraging women to be strong, courageous, hardworking and self‑determined.

She urged women to pursue their goals relentlessly, stand up for themselves and avoid measuring their progress against others.

“As a woman, you ought to be strong, self‑determined, courageous and hardworking. Don’t set limits for yourself. Don’t engage in competitions; do your own thing,” she added.

When asked about the qualities she seeks in a future partner, Dawodu said she is waiting for a man who embodies honesty, maturity, intelligence and strong moral values.

“I want the right man who’s honest, mature, intelligent, has a positive attitude, is helpful, God‑fearing, understanding, loving and caring,” she stated.

Beyond her personal life, the actress revealed that she is currently developing new film projects. She said she is writing scripts and preparing for production on another movie, following the success of Single Action, a project that significantly raised her profile in the Nigerian film industry.
