CLARION CHUKWURAH PREFERS RELATIONSHIP TO MARRIAGE

Clarion Chukwurah is one of the Nollywood veteran stars. She doesn’t like pretence. She says it the way it is, whether you like it not. Clarion bare her mind to a reporter recently on her idea about relationship, vis-a vis marriage of a thing, below is her candid opinion:

Yes. I made a choice. I had Clarence, but I didn’t get married to his father [Sir Shina Peters]. I got married to Brian’s father, but it didn’t work out. I made a choice and if I had to be married, my focus will have to be divided and somehow there will be some psychological upheaval in my children. This could be because of the fact that my father died while I was a child and my growing up was about my mum. I grew up in an environment, where the woman was focused on raising her children, so I made a choice. My mum would have gotten married again, but she made a choice.

On marriage:

(Laughs) Why does it have to be marriage? Why can’t it be a relationship? No, no, no…I think a relationship makes it easier for both of us, you know. We each have our different and established lives. There are certain things you don’t start expecting the person to give up. This is because marriage means you have to give up one or two things. When you start expecting somebody to give up something for you, then, you start expecting cramping that person’s style. I think it is more convenient to love each another and each other’s best friend. Just be in a relationship and it will happen.

On secret of her beauty:
I will say I am one of the luckiest African women. But then, I take very good care of myself. I am disciplined about what I eat. I’m a food person; I’m a liquid person; I’m a fish person and I take a lot of the Chinese tea and vegetables. I am someone who believes that cleanness is next to godliness. It is very personal to me. I am a spa person; I take care of my skin and I use the spa every month, no matter how busy I am. And naturally, I’m an elegant and graceful person; I carry myself well.
