Legendary actor's opinion about Marriage
Veteran actor, Pete Edochie has asked women who have cheating husbands to form the habit of placing condoms in his bags before he goes out.
According to Edochie, when a cheating man sees the condom his wife placed in his bag, he will know she has his interest at heart and will have a rethink whenever he wants to go astray.
Speaking during a recent interview, the actor said it is not in the nature of Nigerians to divorce and remarry repeatedly like white women. Speaking to married women, he said
“A lot of you run out of your husband's houses ...what is the excuse? He was cheating on me! Solomon had 1000 wives and 700 concubines. If your husband is cheating on you and he now decides to take many more wives, what are you going to do? Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
If you think your husband leaves the house and says he is going on a tour and he is going to have an affair outside, put a packet of condom in his bag. When he sees it, psychologically, he is going to think this woman has my interest at heart. If it is his intention to stray, he’ll pull himself together.
But you women are not even creative. You want to be like white women who keep on divorcing and remarrying. It doesn’t suit us. It doesn’t go down well with us. No!”he said
The actor also recounted how his 15-year-old mum was married off to his 40-year-old father many years ago. He pointed out that his mother was not in love with his father.
“My mother was not educated. She was not in love with my father. My father was almost 40 when his uncle told him it was time he got married. He told them to get a wife for him.
My uncle went out to a neighboring village and told them the teacher wanted to get married. The women came out. He looked around and picked one and that was it.
He brought this 15-year-old who didn’t have the courage to look at my father. She gave him ten children and was still shy. Seven boys and three girls”he said.
I'm a Man but everything this man said is pure toxic masculinity. In this new era, your dad can as well be regarded as a pedophile. A fourty year old man comfortable with a fifteen years old is wrong. A woman putting condoms in her man's bag means she's not safe with you (health wise), why then be with someone that put their lives at risk?
