”I am still single because I just want somebody that would really love me” -Ini Edo

Nollywood actress Ini Edo has disclosed the reason behind her single status. The 41-year-old clarified that her singleness is attributed to her quest for genuine love.

Speaking on a recent episode of Toke Makinwa’s podcast, the actress emphasized her unwillingness to be part of a toxic relationship.

She said, “I am still single because I just want somebody that would really love me. That’s all. I’m not asking for too much.

“Not like I don’t see love. Loving somebody and being loved are two different things. You can love someone but you are not ready to be committed. Maybe this is why I’m still single: I can’t be in a toxic relationship.

“If you cannot give me that protective energy that allows me to respect you… I can not be with a man that I don’t respect. If you can not earn my respect, then we cannot be together. Because what’s the point? When it gets to the point when I start to disrespect you, that means you have brought yourself down to a point where I begin to talk back at you. Sometimes, it’s not even about having money. It’s about how you are able to love and manage situations and the people around you. Kindness!”
