Nigerian actress Jaiye Kuti shared her personal experiences and shed light on a troubling statistic concerning the state of marriages in Nigeria.
According to her, 85% of Nigerian women express the desire to leave their marriages.
The actress acknowledged in a recent interview that cultural differences are the main reason why most couples struggle in marriage.
Jaiye Kuti’s own harrowing journey echoes this sentiment, as she confessed to having attempted to end her marriage three times.
She continued by saying that men, on the other hand, make it look easy to end a marriage because of their self-serving urge to cheat.
She said;
“If you ask hundred women, 85% wants to exit their marriage. I even tried to leave like thrice. The issue is when you marry someone from a different tradition and when a man wants to get married, he would treat and pamper a woman well but the second marriage and children are involved, everyone will start to show their true colours. Also, men can be egocentric in nature; and also can’t be stopped from cheating.”
