In a now trending video on social media, she said this while revealing why her brand name is a big deal in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
She said her dream was contrary to other young girls who see marriage as a poverty alleviation scheme.
While expressing her commitment to her craft, Isime noted that she always thinks about working and making her own money.
“I’m actually scared of the limelight. When young girls used to sit down and dream about getting married, I never did.
“I used to dream of working and making money. I can spend on myself so much that another person cannot take the position of if it is not me, you won’t have this life”, she stated.

Fancy Nancy🌹
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with her hustle! She's always on the go, grinding from one project to the next.
I was hoping to work with her last month, but she's completely booked solid for the year - a true boss I stan!
I believe her.
ReplyDeleteWas like that until I discovered that being single blocks your steps up the ladder in the corporate world and then when Mumsie and her 2 sisters drove all the way to Lagos to tell me they have arrived to meet the bloke blocking me from getting married.
The drama was fantabulous.
Nancy is in the entertainment world, she'll be alright.
I love your mama already. No long talk 😂😂😂
DeleteHaha.
DeleteNa Madea fa.
They took turns driving, 3 hours per person from Enugu State to Eko, jejely like that.
The drama was 🔥.
Lol @ Your Mum and her Sisters.
DeleteGod's blessings.
Wonder why some people find it hard to believe that not all singles (make or female) aspire to settle down. They have their reasons. Life has happened to them a lot that they can’t seem to be found in that space. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with them, their lives choices as it suits them.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're right. I had a colleague who didn't fancy marriage because of a bitter growing up. All she wanted was to grow her business into an empire.
DeleteThose are different situations from Nancy's case as explained by her.
DeleteNot wanting marriage because of bad experience and not wanting it because you want to experience life in ways marriage will not permit are worlds apart. The first is reaction and bondage, the second is action and freedom.
20.57, so spot on! Na you understand this post.
DeleteGood girl role model of many girls keep it up
ReplyDeleteshe has an offspring to cater for , thats her dream. marriage is not for everyone .
ReplyDeleteShe has a child???? I didn't know.
DeleteThat's not true.
DeleteYou can be married and still be making money. Nothing spoil.
ReplyDeleteYes oooo iya Nimi
DeleteMarriage no dey block anything oo
Except if some one marry destiny destroyer (holy fire)
Beautiful Nancy
One Day you go talk say you wanna marry😁😁
Hello iya Boys
OK beautiful Nancy
ReplyDeleteGood for you. Everyone to their own
ReplyDeleteYes not everyone is wired for marriage.
ReplyDeleteShe should come back to SDK when she turns 55 and repeat this exact same thing. Women let's stop all this marriage is not for everybody. We all know that deep down we desire a good man. Yes some are not lucky does not mean deep down they don't crave for it. Forget all this career growth talk abeg...God that created marriage knew what he was doing from the get go. If they don't desire to be married, then sleeping either men up and down? Afterall you all are doing what married people do abi?
ReplyDeleteAbeg rest. Speak for your myopic self. Marriage is for me, but I respect other people's life decision. When people are forced due to societal pressures, they become horrible spouses and parents. We are all wired differently
DeleteShe is not talking of the present, but when she was younger and the dreams she had that brought her the success she has now. God created marriage yes, but also created us to have talents with the freewill to use it for our personal gain and that of society, all to the glory of his name. In the parable of talents, he expects us to put it to use, trade and multiply, and not bury it in the ground with ungratefulness. Pls let's not call God on one hand and shame her with turning 55 and whatever, that's just unkind... we are so quick to condemn successful women who are busy using their gifts resourcefully and never that quick with actual criminals in our society
DeleteWhen people say things, believe them. What gave you the guts to think you know her better than herself?
DeleteYea...I'm wired like dat
ReplyDeleteLittle miss pick me. Yo hoo, every here boys, I’m not like the other girls. I NEVER think about marriage. Doesn’t that make me special. Boys? Boyssssssss. Lol. Dear Nancy, no one cares!
ReplyDeleteYou are the one acting like the pick me girl or boy. Rest. We are all different. People with voices should speak out so people would know they are not alone
DeleteLove it. Good for her
ReplyDeleteShe never see the man.
ReplyDeleteRead the words again. Very clear there.
And if she already has a child, read between the words too.
Selah
As long as she's comfortable with her status for now. Don't stress it. It will happen if and when you're ready.
ReplyDeleteWhy are some people finishing her? It's very normal for young girls to have other dreams, depending on your background and education. In secondary school we weren't dreaming of getting married too. We were occupied with JETS club, chess club, science lessons, holiday lessons, debate competitions, JAMB and everyone wanting to be a doctor or lawyer. Some of us wrote SAT. We were full of dreams, and Nigeria wasn't doing too badly. We had crushes on actors lol and talked boys but not marriage itself per say. Me sef wanted to be the first female president of Nigeria LOL. However, I had two roommates, one already named her future children and the other wanted to get married badly.. still, that was less than 5% of our set.
ReplyDeleteIt's in university that more girls expressly start dreaming of marriage cos some actually start getting married. Still, some will dream different cos they will discover their passion and talents at that age. Unfortunately not many will have the time, resources, mentorship, focus, grace and discipline needed to actually pursue big dreams, so marriage becomes a welcome and more easily attainable dream.
You said this well anonymous 21;53
DeleteI never dreamt of it until one woman started reminding me that after NYSC is marriage o.
ReplyDeleteI was like "who send this woman message?"
