The well-known Nigerian celebrity Yemi Alade has begged for tolerance from her loved ones. When Alade stated this in a radio broadcast, she acknowledged feeling pressure from her family to walk down the aisle.
"People often get married, especially towards the end of every year. I'm not feeling pressured. When the time is right, it will happen," she said.
Adding;
"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."
