**LAGOS, NIGERIA** – Popular Nollywood actress Nancy Isime has revealed her unconventional perspective on marriage, stating that she’s more focused on building her career and achieving financial independence.

Speaking on a recent podcast, Isime shared that unlike many young girls who dream of their weddings, she’s always envisioned herself working and making her own money.

“I used to daydream about working and being independent,” she said. “I fear I might not even have a traditional ‘dream wedding’ because what is a dream wedding? Even if I get married, it will just be a wedding that we both agree on, that reflects where we are at.”

The actress attributes her priorities to her upbringing, where financial resources were limited. She explained, “I’ve always been the child who saw myself having my own money. Maybe because I came from a humble background where asking for anything was almost taboo.”

Isime emphasized that her focus is on building her wealth and providing herself with her desired lifestyle. “That’s why I’m such a believer in spending on myself,” she said. “I spend on myself so much that nobody can take the position of ‘if not me, you won’t have this life.'”

Isime’s candid remarks offer a refreshing perspective on marriage and its place in a woman’s life, demonstrating that financial independence and personal fulfillment can take precedence over traditional societal expectations.
