A tweet recently surfaced online from Timaya’s tweeter handle which has caused a bit of contention and uproar admidst all and sundry.
He tweeted: “make sure you live with your partner a bit before marriage."
Although, the reason for his tweet is unknown but I bet the reason isn’t far-fetched.
In this regard, can we make the assumption that he tweeted this as a result of failed relationships and his inability to settle down with one woman? Or perhaps, as a result of being unlucky with love? Maybe he didn’t find any of his baby mamas worthy enough to walk down the aisle with even though he found them worth enough to birth his kids?
Recall that he has had previous relationships that birthed kids and on tuesday, 17th november, the singer, Timaya posted a picture of himself holding his special Jewel (4th child) online.
He had two kids from his first babymama, but things didn’t turn out smooth with them and he moved on with another who birthed a boy child for him.
However, Timaya had previously revealed that the marriage institution is not designed for him.
Again, he found love with a Nigerian/American visual artist, Dunnie Onasanya (3rd babymama) who has now birthed a child for him as well.
Bringing it to the African culture, Nigeria as a case study where customs and traditions kick against the act of cohabitation before marriage.
Here, parents would see to it that such does not happen either as that would negate the marriage rites.
Also, in Nigeria where religion plays a key role, and chastity, an important principle, it is against the faiths and beliefs of any religion to cohabitate.
In my opinion, I do not agree with the fact that cohabitation with your partner before marriage would foster bonding or help know each other better because it’s impossible to know everything about someone within a short time. Knowing someone is a lifelong business!
What’s your take on this?
Do you belief cohabitation with your partner will help know everything you ought to know ?
