Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has sent a strong message to women in unhappy marriages, advising them to choose self-love over suffering.
Speaking on fidelity in marriage on, the mother of three described herself as an advocate of 50-50 and insisted that faithfulness should go both ways.
According to her, men should take responsibility for their actions instead of making excuses for cheating.
In her words: “I am an advocate for 50-50 in marriage. If you want me to be faithful to you, stay faithful to me. You just want (sexual) satisfaction? It’s a desire that you can control. You can control yourself; you are not an animal. Why can’t men stay the same? Why do men always make excuses for their failure? They always make excuses for their stupid behaviours.”
The actress also urged women to know their worth and not be afraid to walk away when a relationship is no longer serving them.
“First, you have to know who you are as a woman, know your worth, what you want, and also love yourself enough. If you love yourself enough and know what your deal-breaker is in a relationship, and your wants and needs are not being met, then what are you doing in that relationship? I am not an advocate for suffering and smiling. If it is not working, you don’t have to die there”
