Nancy Isime: I’ve never daydreamed about getting married

Nancy Isime, the Nigerian actress, has opened up on her perspective on marriage and career.

Speaking on the latest episode of the Creativitea Live with Lynda podcast, the 32-year-old said she has never “daydreamed about getting married unlike other young girls”.

The movie star emphasized that she channels her focus towards building a career and achieving financial independence.

She also said that even if she got married, it would not matter whether it was a “big or small” wedding.

“You know when young girls used to sit down and daydream about getting married, I never did. I used to daydream about working and making my own money and being independent,” she said.

“I fear that I might not even have my dream wedding because what is a dream wedding? Even if I get married, it would just be a wedding that we both agree on at the same time… If it is a big wedding, if we feel it, it’s fine. If it is a small wedding, whatever we feel.”

Isime began her career as a model after winning the Miss Valentine International Beauty Pageant in 2009.

In 2011, she made her acting debut in the TV series ‘Echoes’. She has since appeared in several Nollywood movies including ‘Kambili: The Whole 30 Yards’, ‘The Set Up 2’ and ‘Shanty Town’.

Isime is also a presenter. In 2016, she replaced Toke Makinwa as the presenter of Trending on HipTV.

She has also received several awards and recognition.
