At least that is one of her wishes as she celebrates her 36th birthday today. Ikeji has had run-ins with many of her fans and haters who think she needs a husband to be complete, as is the case with many Nigerians who believe a woman should get married once she attains a certain age.</div>

But with her accomplishments, she is, in the eyes of many, not yet a complete woman. So as she adds another year to her age, she has openly voiced her desire with these words:</div>
