‘I refused to re-marry to avoid stress and maintain my youthful looks’ – Actress Mama EREKO

Tuesday, March 4, 2025 - Veteran Nollywood actress Morenike Alausa, professionally known as Mama Ereko, has revealed why she refused to remarry after the death of her husband.

During her latest interview on Talk2Dunnis TV on YouTube, the actress explained that she decided not to remarry to maintain her youthful looks.

While emphasizing the stress that comes with marriage, she noted that the physical, emotional, and sexual demands of marriage can accelerate aging in women.

The 79-year-old actress said, “If I had remarried, you wouldn’t be admiring my elegant and beautiful look at my age.

“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.”
