‘I would meet a girl and tell her I liked but my wife was abroad’ - Yomi Fash-Lanso

What’s a man got to do but lie to the ladies, especially when they are desperate and want marriage at all cost because age is not on their side. At this stage, many ladies don't mind a married man.
Here's what popular actor, Yomi Fash-Lanso told Punch about his encounter with such ladies: 

You must have dated so many people before you got married?

When you talk about marriage, it is all about emotions. Because I knew I wasn’t ready for marriage, I went and bought a wedding band and started wearing it so that ladies would think I was married. I wore that band for many years. I would meet a girl and tell her I liked her and when she asked about my wife, I would tell her my wife was abroad. If she wouldn’t mind, we would date. 

If another girl saw us together, that one would be wondering if the girl was my wife. It made life easier for us. I wasn’t ready for marriage then. I knew marriage was a different thing and I didn’t want to make mistakes. 

I ran away from girls then because they were just too ready for marriage while I wasn’t. They would tell me their father was ready and that we should get married but I just didn’t want because I wanted to be the man, I wanted to be the head of the home.
