Curvaceous Nigerian actress Nkechi Blessing has rolled out some words of advice for couples in a recent interview.
The controversial screen diva kicked against the trending habit of taking marital issues to social media. She said that social media would not help, but turn the spouse to an object of ridicule.
Blessing told Saturday Beats that social media is not a family court; it is a platform for interaction, entertainment and advertisement.
She opined; “People think that coming to social media with their family issues would help. Sadly, it won’t help. It would only escalate the problem. It will also make one an object of ridicule in the eyes of the public.”
“The funny thing is that after spilling the beans, the parties would now ask for privacy. Social media is not a family court; it is a platform for interaction, entertainment and advertisement. I might have goofed with my life on social media in the past, but there’s always a time to retrace one’s steps.”
Blessing also added that if her partner cheated on her, she won’t walk out of her marriage. However, she doesn’t support infidelity.
The 32-year-old thespian noted that domestic violence is the only thing she cannot tolerate in marriage, adding that she would rather leave the union.
“A lot of ladies like to lie to themselves. The only thing I won’t tolerate in marriage is domestic violence. I would rather leave immediately, so that there won’t be repeated episodes. But, cheating is not enough to make me leave my marriage.”
“I do not support cheating because no woman wants to share her husband, but these are things that one cannot control. Men are polygamous in nature. If I see signs, I would have a heart-to-heart talk with him and also adjust my ways. I know humans cannot be satisfied, but I have to keep doing my best. There are a lot of attractive females everywhere, so it takes the grace of God for a man to stay faithful to a woman.”
Blessing also noted that she prefers respect to love and pointed it out that women also cheat, however, men’s sexual jaunts are popular.
“I prefer respect to love. If a man respects me, he won’t rub his infidelity on my face. People think that only men cheat, but women also cheat. It is just that men’s sexual escapades are more common. However, I don’t think anything can make me cheat on my husband. I am content and satisfied with him.”
Blessing is married to Opeyemi Falegan.
