Mama Ereko ageing secret revealed: Veteran Nollywood actress Morenike Alausa, aka Mama Ereko, says she stayed single to maintain her youthful appearance

Veteran Nollywood actress Morenike Alausa, widely known as Mama Ereko, has shared her reasoning behind choosing not to remarry after her husband’s passing. In a recent interview on Talk2Dunnis TV on YouTube, the 79-year-old actress explained that her decision stemmed from a desire to preserve her youthful appearance.

Mama Ereko emphasized the significant stress associated with marriage, particularly the physical, emotional, and sexual demands that she believes contribute to accelerated aging in women.

“If I had remarried, you wouldn’t be admiring my elegant and beautiful look at my age,” she stated during the interview. “I didn’t remarry because the stress of intercourse makes people look older than their age. I don’t need a man again because I have already turned into a man. I can’t even remember how it feels to have sex anymore.”

Her candid remarks have sparked discussions about the choices women make regarding marriage and personal well-being. Mama Ereko’s focus on maintaining her youthful appearance highlights a personal priority that she felt would be compromised by the demands of a new marriage.

The actress’s comments shed light on the physical and emotional toll that relationships can take, and her decision to prioritize her own well-being has resonated with many.
