Nollywood veteran actress, Ngozi Nwosu has advised women not to leave their man or marriage because of infidelity.
In a recent interview with her junior colleague, Ngozi noted that infidelity alone should not be a reason for a woman to end her marriage, emphasising that physical assault is a more significant deal-breaker.
She recalled how she called off her wedding due to her partner’s physical abuse, even while she was pregnant. Ngozi stressed that once a partner becomes violent, it’s unlikely to stop and urged women to prioritize their safety above all else.
She said,
“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.”
