During their conversation about being a “complete” woman and if marriage validates people, Shanty Town co-stars Ini Edo and Chidi Mokeme discussed being a “complete” woman. Here are the opinions of Chidi Mokeme and Ini Edo on the matter, as well as why Chidi Mokeme thinks marriage is overrated. What he said was as follows.
The conversation started when both Ini Edo and Chidi Mokeme were asked “Who is a complete woman?” Both actors responded:
INI EDO: A complete woman? Who is even complete woman? I think how you feel completes you as a human being, if you have the conviction in your heart that you have achieved or you have gotten to the peak of your career, maybe life journey or if you feel your life is beautiful and you think that it is complete then it is complete. I don’t think there is anything that measures who is complete, it is relative.

CHIDI MOKEME: I think you don’t have to achieve anything materialistic for you to feel complete. A lot of times contentment makes you feel complete and happy with life.
INI EDO: Yeah, Chidi is right, some people are very contented with where they are, whether they have achieved or not they are just good, you know it is relative especially when you have peace of mind.
CHIDI MOKEME: Be comfortable in your skin, know yourself and who you are.
Then the interviewer asked both Ini and Chidi, “Do you both think marriage validates a woman?” to which they both responded:
INI EDO: I don’t think marriage validates even the man not just the woman
CHIDI MOKEME: l think again that takes us back to the society that we are in . The society places marriage on that level of importance, it also treats women very unfair with the impression that the women place are in the kitchen. A lot of women gets desperate to become wives because they feel that’s the only way they can feel fullfilled about life. Marriage is overrated over rated and it never validates anyone.
INI EDO: I mean we are all happy for those who find joy and are genuinely happy in their marriages. We are happy for them. Your piece of mind and happiness is all that matters, is not really about what anybody feel or think of you, it is about how you feel about yourself. I mean for me my own happiness is the most important thing to me anytime.
CHIDI MOKEME: So if the guy start sounds like Femi Fernandez and ends up like Scar, pack your bags and run.
