A Nollywood actress, Yetunde Bakare, says women who lie about their age do so to earn respect or feel young.
“Many hard-working single ladies do it when searching for Mr Right. In this part of the world, guys see dating an older woman as a taboo. Hence, women reduce their age most times to feel young and accepted”.
On why she has not been appearing in movies lately, Bakare said she had been busy dealing with challenges that come with being a single mother. She said, “As much as I am passionate about my profession, I had to face reality as a single mother. My responsibilities keep getting bigger and I don’t want my passion to turn me into a beggar since I wasn’t making much . So, I learnt some skills and started doing business which takes most of my time. Doing business makes me more selective because if I have to leave my business to go to a movie location, then the script and pay must be worth it.”All rights reserved.
