Actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has emphasised the importance of choosing a life partner who is genuinely kind and supportive of one’s dreams and goals.
In a recent interview, Oboli stated that a partner’s wealth or material gifts should not outweigh their ability to encourage and believe in your aspirations.
She warned that marrying someone who lacks these qualities can hinder personal growth and lead to long-term regrets.
According to her, kindness and support lay the foundation for a successful relationship, with other elements falling into place naturally.
Oboli wrote, “The first thing I would say is marry someone who believes in your dreams and your goals because if you don’t, that would really derail you in terms of your career. Marry someone who’s kind, you know. It’s not about how much money a man has or how many gifts he’s giving you or how many trips he’s taking you on. Is he a kind person? Because if he’s not kind, you’re really going to suffer later, you know. So you have to be very sure that, first of all, this man is going to support my dreams, he’s going to support my goals, and he’s a kind man. I think if you get those two things right, pretty much everything else will fall in place.”
