Veteran singer, Salawa Abeni, has revealed that men still pester her for love despite her age.

In an interview with Punch published on Saturdaythe 57-year-old said she has learned to treat such men with respect while turning them down.

She said: “Men still pester me for love but I am always very careful with them even though you cannot know which one is good or bad from mere appearance.

“I mentioned it in one of my songs that if I laugh too much, they will call me a prostitute if I frown too much, they will say I am proud. But it is good to be very diplomatic with them and not to be rude to them.”

Abeni also talked about the rate of broken marriages especially in the entertainment industry, she added that every man or woman needs a companion; therefore people must make their marriages work.

“The truth is that every adult male or female wants to be in a happy marriage. They should note that two wrongs can never make a right. One has to be cool-headed and patient.

“Those in the entertainment industry need to take things easy. While they make others happy with their talents, they must also make themselves happy by building good homes,” she said.
