Nollywood actor and media personality, Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu, has expressed his views on the elevated rate of divorce within the Nigerian entertainment industry.
According to the comedian, the
primary cause of the frequent breakdown of celebrity marriages is the absence
of peace within these unions.
Nedu asserted his belief that
mental well-being constitutes a valid reason for divorce. He emphasized that if
marriage becomes a hindrance to one’s happiness, opting for divorce is a
reasonable choice.
Disagreeing with the notion
that individuals should endure problematic marriages as their “crosses to
bear,” he highlighted the importance of safeguarding one’s sanity.
Naija News recalls that Nedu
and his estranged wife, Uzoamaka, separated in 2018 following allegations of
paternity fraud made by the comedian.
In a recent interview with Hip
TV, Nedu said, “My take on divorce is, if it doesn’t work, then take a walk.
I’m all for peace of mind. Whatever is not giving me peace, I don’t want it. I
can’t come and go and kill myself.
“Some people tell you, it’s
your cross, carry am. No, na only Jesus dey carry cross. If you’re not giving
me peace of mind, then what am I doing with you? Absolutely nothing.
“I protect my sanity, which is
the most important part of who I am. I’m asking people to divorce, but ask
yourself if you’re going home every day because of the kids and not the person
you married. That tells you a lot. If the person you are married to doesn’t
give you joy, then what are you doing? If it’s not working, get out.“
