The waka music aficionado, Queen Salawa Abeni, has said that men still pester her for love despite turning 57 recently.
The veteran musician told Saturday Beats that she has learnt to treat such men with respect while turning them down.
“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.”
While decrying the rising spate of broken marriages especially in the entertainment industry, Abeni said that every man or woman needed a companion; therefore people must make their marriages work.
She said, “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.”
