Veteran Nollywood actress Toyin Adegbola, fondly known as Toyin Tomato, has shared her perspective on the topic of divorce, advising women to remain in their marriages despite challenges.
During an Instagram Live session on Monday, the beloved actress addressed the issue of marital equality, stating that it doesn’t exist in marriage as many believe.
Toyin Tomato urged women to reconsider divorce, even in cases of infidelity, encouraging them to stay with their husbands while taking necessary precautions to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Her comments sparked conversation around traditional views on marriage and the complexities faced by women in navigating marital dynamics today.
Toyin Adegbola’s stance is rooted in her belief that every marriage will face difficulties, but it’s important to approach them with caution and self-care, particularly for women.
“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.
