Currently a single mother who recently quit her third marriage, she is optimistic that her fourth marriage can still be a reality but depends on the kind of man. She emphatically said that Nigerian men cannot stand successful women as this is a factor for lasting relationship.
Ms Wright added that Nigerian men do not know where to draw the line between a celebrity cum public figure and a wife at home. That most men feel when a society woman is among men, she thus sleeps with them – it is a sad situation she said.
On the issue of the next marriage, Ms Wright said if the man’s card tally with hers she may go into the forth marriage, but she will lay her cards straight on the table. She added that the coming man must take her as ‘Bukky Wright’ not the actress he sees in the movies or on social platforms. However, she says getting a man to accept her, the way she is, is difficult, that she is a social giver.
