Popular Nigerian comedian and streamer, Carterefe, has revealed that he has no plans to get married, insisting that he does not expect his position on marriage to change as he gets older.
The 24-year-old entertainer made this known during a recent interview with British media personality Madame Joyce, where he spoke about his age, career and personal plans.
Carterefe, who has become known for his activities as a comedian, content creator and streamer, dismissed suggestions that he may eventually change his mind about marriage.
Speaking about his decision, the Nigerian streamer explained that he would rather dedicate his time and energy to building his streaming career.
According to him, his work has become his major priority, and he considers streaming to be the most important commitment in his life at the moment.
“I am 24 years old. I was born in 2001, but I don’t know why people don’t believe me,” he said.
“I don’t want to get married, and I won’t change my mind with time. I got married to my job. I want to focus on streaming. That is my baby.”
His comments have generated conversations among fans, particularly because marriage is often viewed as an important milestone for young Nigerians.
However, Carterefe appears determined to follow a different path by prioritising his career and personal ambitions.
The comedian’s comments highlight the growing influence of streaming in Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
Over the past few years, streaming has become an increasingly popular career path for young Nigerians, with creators using platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and other social media platforms to build audiences and generate income.
For entertainers like Carterefe, streaming provides an opportunity to combine comedy, gaming, conversation and live entertainment while interacting directly with fans.
His decision to describe streaming as “my baby” shows the level of commitment he has towards developing his career.
Rather than dividing his attention between marriage and entertainment, Carterefe said he wants to concentrate on becoming better at what he does.
During the interview, Carterefe also addressed confusion surrounding his age.
The entertainer stated that he is 24 years old and was born in 2001, although he joked that people often refuse to believe his claim.
His clarification comes as his growing popularity has generated increased interest in his personal life.
At 24, Carterefe is still relatively young, and his decision not to marry reflects his current personal priorities rather than necessarily representing a permanent position that cannot change in the future.
Nevertheless, he was clear during the interview that he does not expect to change his mind simply because he gets older.
Caterefe’s statement has sparked a wider conversation about marriage, career and personal choices among young Nigerians.
While many people consider marriage an important part of adulthood, an increasing number of young professionals and entertainers are choosing to focus on education, business, financial independence and career development before considering marriage.
For Carterefe, streaming currently occupies that position.
His statement also demonstrates the changing nature of entertainment careers in Nigeria. Unlike previous generations, young entertainers can now build careers through digital platforms without necessarily depending entirely on traditional television, radio or film.
As Carterefe continues to grow his audience, his streaming career could potentially become an even bigger part of his identity as an entertainer.
For now, the comedian appears comfortable with his decision.
Whether his views remain the same in the future remains to be seen, but his current message is straightforward, Carterefe is choosing his career over marriage and wants streaming to remain his primary focus.
His comments are likely to continue generating reactions online as fans debate his decision and the changing attitudes of young Nigerians towards marriage and relationships.
