The media personality Moet Abebe has claimed that “marriage is a scam.”
In a conversation with Chude Jideonwo, Abebe added that many women marry because of “societal pressure.”
She uttered: “Marriage is a scam, is a fair question, it is,”
“If someone is so particular about something, maybe the person is coming from a place of knowledge or like an experience, at least they say experience is the best teacher.
“Apart from that, I have just noticed that a lot of people are getting married for the wrong reasons. A lot of people are doing it because of pressure.

“And I just feel like we should just take some time to actually love ourselves first.
“I believe if I don’t love myself if I don’t have these reminders to tell me of who I am, how can someone else fall in love with me?
“Especially from a woman’s perspective and that’s why I’m particular about women going into marriages. And just going into it because of the pressure.
“It has to be deeper than that, and feel a lot of us aren’t thinking about that, we are thinking about the wedding and the honeymoon but marriage is so much deeper than that.”
