Veteran Nollywood actress Toyin Adegbola, widely recognized as Toyin Tomato, has advised women to steer clear of divorce.
Speaking during an Instagram live session on 23rd of September, 2024, the role interpreter asserted that equality is absent in marriages.
She urged women to remain with their unfaithful husbands, while also recommending they take steps to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections.
“No matter how terrible your husband is, don’t ever think of chasing him out or leaving his house, because later, you will have to beg when your children have an important event. As the woman, you have suffered in your marriage, and if you leave, no single man will marry you. Stay in your husband’s house and beg him to protect himself.
“I have a friend who buys packs of condoms for her husband whenever he is visiting Nigeria. When the man arrived, he called me to let me know what my friend did. Won’t he sleep with another woman? Can a woman come to Nigeria and her husband buys her condoms? We don’t have equal rights, and I will continue to say this.
“Please, men, take us as your cross and see us as your first child. We have also married you and taken you as our first child because, despite how wise men are, they can also be very foolish. Whatever we want you to see is what you will see,” she said.
