Akuapem Poloo explains why she prefers dating to marriage; ‘I’ve never been single in my life’

Actress Haniya Rosemond Alade Brown, alias Hajia Fati, has revealed her mother has joined the Islamic faith just as she famously did three years ago.
She spoke to Nana Romeo, revealing her mother was now called Aishatu, in step with Islamic tradition.
“[My son] is also called Mohammed,” she added.
It came to light during the conversation on Okay FM that Ms Brown, popularly called Akuapem Poloo, had recently given birth to a daughter. She declined to mentioned the two-month-old's name, however.
“I’m anticipating one more child,” she gladly announced.
While she said she would marry “very soon,” she added it would only happen when “my husband arrives”.
“There is someone and plans are underway. After producing the child [with me] he’s left to work. It’ll take money to do the wedding so he needs to go work for that,” she explained.
Poloo indicated it was her heartfelt prayer to Allah that she would make a family with the unidentified man, although she would later note it would not be surprising it she never tied the knot.
She said her pregnancy and delivery were not publicised due to her “change in mindset and the man I’m now with doesn’t like such things”.
“I’m under control. Something is now controlling me,” she lightheartedly added.
According to the award-winning actress, she met her man during an event.
She revealed, “I’ve never been single in my life.
“The moment there’s a breakup, I’m with someone else. I’m a woman. Excuse me to say, even the female lunatics on the streets get pregnant.”
When she reflected on her past dating experiences, she disclosed she had been with “about seven men,” with the longest relationship spanning eight years.
Rosemond Brown explained to an astonished Romeo “dating is sweeter than marriage.
“I’m not saying marriage is not good. But I prefer dating. Let’s stay together as though we were married but marriage itself entails a lot of [unpleasant] things.”
She observed how, in her view, “dating is not difficult but the moment the ring is put on the finger, it brings a lot of negative things.
“It's very stressful.”
To explain the oddity, Poloo offered that while dating was competitive, marriage bred complacency.
In addition, she noted how difficult it was for female divorcees, especially, to get remarriaged.
“This is why it's difficult for women to divorce their husbands even when they are abused,” she continued, noting it was easier for men, given their economic advantage, for instance, to remarry compared to women who had to wait for a suitor who was undeterred by their previous failed marriage.
This complication made marriage undesirable to her, she emphasised.
If she would ever get married, she said, “it would be as Allah wills,” and not by her design; thus, no one should be surprised if she stayed in the dating cycle perpetually.
