Newly wed actress, Monalisa Chinda- Coker who had her only child, Tamar Chinda, 8 years ago, is now ready to have another child.
The movie star cum producer in a chat with Genevieve Magazine revealed that she’s ready to have another child for her new hubby, husband Victor Tonye Coker whom she has known for 27 years.
‘Yes, I am going to have a baby for him, he deserves it’
She also talked about how she knew Tonye was her God sent hubby!
“I wanted to know more about his character so I watched how he interacted with his family, God, the people around him and his personal business. All of these checked out and even exceeded my expectations. There was so much peace even with his family and friends. I had to give myself this pep talk “Monalisa you are not a child, you are in your forties what do you want? A tall dark handsome and wealthy man? You have seen all that.” I searched within my soul and honestly the first time I knew I had found THE ONE.’

also talked about the pressure on women to get married: Your man will
come as long as you are not looking at what makes other marriages work.
Do not be fazed by people jumping down from the moon for the sake of pre
wedding shoots and think yours has to be like that. Yours can be in the
farm. Look at the substance that makes the man and not the theatrics. I
didn’t do a pre-wedding shoot because I think I am too old for
pre-wedding shoots. I made mine unique in my own way.
On Life As A Single Mum In Nigeria: It is a bit of challenge
when you have to do everything yourself. You do your school runs, put on the
generator, you cook, go to the stores all by yourself. If your mother is not
there to give you advice, you advice yourself or talk to God and for me the Holy
Spirit was always guiding me. Marriage is always a better option for any woman
who is single in this country. Forget 30, once you attain 35 and counting, men
in this country call you a dead engine. In your presence they might pretend to
admire you but once your back is turned they are cursing you. The way mature
single women are treated in this country is traumatic. If you see a post on a
successful single woman, majority of the comments are “Go and marry!” But are
they going to marry themselves ? At the same time, women should be open minded
about marriage
Meanwhile, here are some photos that show that Mona has been a really good mum to Tamar.
