Media mogul, Mo Abudu, has opened up about her personal life, speaking on heartbreak and the importance of self-worth in relationships.
In an interview with Toke Makinwa, the 62-year-old said if she ever cries, it will be because of work, not a relationship.
“Heartbreak. Nobody can break my heart. It’s not possible. There’s no such thing as heartbreak at my age. If I cry, it’s not because of a man. It may be because of my work,” she said.
Abudu also shared advice with women, particularly younger ladies, that no woman can force a man to commit if he is not interested.
She encouraged women to recognise when a relationship is not working and walk away rather than invest time and emotions in someone who does not value them.
“Listen, you cannot make a man be in a relationship with you. If he wants to be, he will. If he doesn’t want to be in it, he’s kidding you. Leave him. Move on. He doesn’t want to be there,” she said.
“You have to get over it, because you need to read the writing, guys. It is easy. Don’t downgrade yourself in front of anybody. And to young girls, don’t downgrade yourself. He will sleep with you. He will deceive you. He will lie to you, and you’re still there. Doing what? Pressure of what? Or be with a man, a man who doesn’t want you?”
The media entrepreneur further warned young women against allowing men to take advantage of their feelings while offering little or no commitment.
According to her, some men stay in relationships without genuine intentions, leaving women hoping for commitment that may never come.
“You know in your gut that he’s messing around. True. Because he hasn’t called you for two weeks. He’s ghosting you. He’s telling you he’s busy doing what? Chasing somebody else,” she said.
“If you see those kinds of people, leave them alone. Those types of people don’t want you. Please ladies. Anybody can have you. But what does it take?”
