On Tuesday, famous Nigerian actress Toyin Adegbola, also known as Toyin Tomato, sparked a heated debate with her advice to women facing infidelity in marriage, stirring up strong emotions and opinions.
The movie star, in an Instagram live session, encouraged women to stay with their cheating husbands for the “sake of family events.”
The 62-year-old movie star said: “No matter how terrible your husband is, never think of kicking him out or leaving his house because later you will have to beg when your children have an important event. As a 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 you.”
Toyin Tomato cited a personal experience and shared a story about a friend who bought condoms for her husband.
“I have a friend who buys packets of condoms for her husband every time he visits Nigeria. When the man arrived, he called me to tell me what my friend had done. Wouldn’t he sleep with another woman? Can a woman come to Nigeria and have her husband buy her condoms? We don’t have equal rights and I will continue to say that.”
Passionate supplication
The actress also made a compassionate call to men.
She said, “Please, men, take us as your cross and see us as your first son. We have also married you and taken you as our first son because as wise as men are, they can also be very foolish. What we want you to see is what you will see.”
