“No ring, no entry!” — Laide Bakare bans men from her house until they pay her bride price

​Nollywood actress Laide Bakare is drawing a line in the sand when it comes to her private space, declaring that her home is strictly off-limits to any man who hasn’t officially “put a ring on it.”

​In a candid conversation that has since gone viral, the mother of three revealed her new iron-clad dating rules, insisting that the traditional bride price is the only valid “entry pass” into her residence. According to the screen diva, the responsibility of hosting should fall squarely on the man’s shoulders.

​”No man can come to my house until we are married,” she stated firmly. “He is the man; he should be responsible. He should come and carry me to his house. It is better for me to hang my clothes in your house than for you to hang your clothes in my house.”

​The controversial actress didn’t stop there. She further stunned fans by admitted she has essentially retired from the concept of “love.” While she is open to liking, respecting, and appreciating a partner, she made it clear that she is leaving the emotional heavy lifting of love aside in favor of a more practical, traditional arrangement.

​Despite recent social media posts showing her in matching pyjamas with colleague Odobodobo Motolani, Bakare was quick to clarify her status. She maintained that she remains “husbandless” and that her recent videos are strictly professional, reinforcing her stance that until the traditional rites are performed, her front door remains firmly locked.
