Chichi Neblett chooses career over marriage

Ghanaian actress Chichi Neblett has told NEWS-ONE that though marriage means a lot to women, she would not hesitate to choose acting if she is pushed to make an option between marriage and her acting career.

Chichi is a mother of one and has been in Ghana’s movie industry for the past nine years. She was formerly married to actor and producer, Roger Quartey, but the marriage hit the rocks after Roger was alleged to have married another woman.

“Well I can't say yes, and I can't say no either. As a woman you will always need a husband to make a family. So I can't say I will choose my career over marriage and I can't say either that I will leave my career for a man too, because no man wants a liability as a wife.

“My career is very important to me. The so-called husband can leave you at anytime. But with you career, once you put in your all, and making your ends meet, even if he leaves you, you can stand on your feet because you were not so much of a waste product. But trust u me, I think both of them are very important. So it’s hard to choose one. But, if I am pushed to choose one, I will choose my career,” she explained.
