Veteran Nigerian actor Kanayo O Kanayo recently appeared on Nedu’s podcast, The Honest Bunch, where he discussed the challenges surrounding his marriage.

The veteran actor disclosed that he has been separated from his wife for nearly four years.  During the episode, KOK reflected on the concept of marriage and divorce, revealing that his understanding of divorce deepened only after moving to Lagos.

He pointed out that a specific mentality exists among young couples in the city, which he believes is detrimental to marital stability.

According to Kanayo, most Igbo men strongly dislike divorce. He said that instead of leaving a difficult marriage, many would rather stay and endure it.

Netizens Reactions..

You didn’t know what divorce is doesn’t mean there are no civilized igbo then that doesn’t know about it. So divorce is not a tribal thing. Any small thing the Igbo man. No tribe is perfect.”

@Timothy_Dikachi said: “This is so true. Only some new generation Igbo men that go into marriage with divorce plans on sight.”

@macnamuna said: “I’m not surprised, most of them there fathers married 4 or 5 wives and no one left. And people give there daughter out for marriage base of character and family background, but today the only criteria you need as a man to get married is money.”

@JerryIkenna8 said: “Isn’t he divorced??? Haven’t seen his wife in any of his pics family recently.”

@DayoIge5 said: “Lagos Is iconic and legendary. Everything you thinknin Nigeria. Lagos comes 1st. Think of making money through social media. You will get to Lagos. Divorce knowledge, you will get to Lagos. Lagos is ironically an independent nation…..”
