Nigerian iconic actress, Ngozi Nwosu has opined that physical assault should be the only ultimate ideal reason why a woman should abandon her marital union.
Speaking as a guest with her junior colleague, Biola Bayo, on her show, Talk to B, she detailed that women should not exit their marriage if infidelity plays a big role in their bond.
She added that women should only consider leaving their union if their partner are abusive.
She explained that once a man starts physically abusing his spouse, he wouldn’t stop, urging women who are a victim to exit their marriage.
She finalised that she called off her wedding with her ex-fiance because he was beating her even though she was pregnant.
Her words:
“I had to choose between my profession and to marry a guy, and I chose my job. He gave me an option, and I chose my job.
“At one point, I regretted that decision, but after that, I was like, ‘Oh wow, thank god I chose my path”
“I didn’t talk about it to the press; this is the first time I am saying it. I left him because of the battery. For me, infidelity, yes, but it isn’t enough for you to let go of your man. But, if it’s battery, I advise any woman to, in fact, not take any of their property and run for your life because they will never stop. Once a man lifts his hand on you, he won’t stop.”
“For me, infidelity, yes. But it’s not really enough for you to let go of your man. I called off my wedding two days before because that day, he gave me a beating of my life. I was pregnant then, and I was like, is this what I’m entering? Because he has never done it before.”
Fans stormed social media and voiced their opinions.
