Laide Bakare Opens Up: Why She Says She Doesn’t Love Men Anymore

During the interview, the discussion focused on her approach to love and living arrangements in romantic relationships. When asked why she would not allow a partner to stay in her home before marriage, Bakare explained that she has never done so and does not intend to.

She stated that her feelings toward men differ from conventional expectations, explaining that while she does not experience love in the typical sense, she relates to men with appreciation, liking, and respect.

The actress also discussed her expectations for marriage, emphasizing that any man who wishes to marry her must follow traditional customs, including paying her bride price. She noted that she expects full responsibility from a husband within the framework of marriage.

Bakare further said she is more comfortable spending time at a man’s residence rather than having him live in hers, stressing that a man should take responsibility by adhering to cultural norms and welcoming his wife into his home after marriage.

She added: “I don’t love but like, appreciate and respect men. I have never accommodated a man in my home before and I will never do it. A man who wants to marry me should pay my bride price. I prefer spending time in the man’s house rather than accommodating him in my home. A man should be responsible. He should pay my bride price and take me home.
