Renowned gospel artist Justina Syokau recently opened up about her nearly decade-long period of singleness following her divorce. Widely recognized for her hit song “Twendi Twendi,” Syokau entered into marriage in 2012, only to experience its dissolution the following year.
In a sincere revelation, Syokau shared her perspective on relationships, underscoring the crucial importance of responsibility in a partner.
“In today’s world, I’m not interested in a man who excels only in momentary pleasures. What I seek now is a responsible man,” Syokau remarked, emphasizing the necessity for men to bring more than just love and physical intimacy to the relationship.
Emphasizing the significance of financial stability and partnership in her future relationships, Syokau stressed that responsibility forms the bedrock for addressing other aspects of a relationship.
“When a man is responsible, we can tackle other aspects of the relationship. If a man cannot contribute to rent and utility bills, he becomes a burden. Even if he excels in other areas, he must be willing to work. You can’t hire a girl and expect a man to be idle,” Syokau elaborated.
During an interview with Comedian Consumator on his TruthBeTold show on YouTube, Syokau candidly reflected on her singlehood, expressing contentment with her freedom.
“Being single is enjoyable because you’re free, and it’s been almost nine years since I walked out of my marriage. I left my marriage with a child and chose to remain celibate because I didn’t want to face temptation again, and I have responsibilities to take care of,” she shared.
Syokau highlighted the importance of staying true to oneself and avoiding potentially harmful situations.
“It’s preferable to be on a dry spell than to fall into temptation. It’s better to have a child with a man who would leave you to raise it alone,” she said.
Acknowledging the challenges of her journey, Syokau admitted that maintaining celibacy isn’t easy, especially for those struggling to control their desires. However, she affirmed her dedication to the chosen path.
“I’ve been on a dry spell for this long because I fear getting into another difficult situation,” she said.
