Veteran Nollywood actor Chiwetalu Agu has shared his thoughts on marriage and relationships, highlighting the importance of prioritizing one’s well-being and happiness.
In a recent update on his Instagram page, Chiwetalu Agu addressed both singles and married, offering guidance on navigating the complexities of romantic relationships.
The actor stressed that marriage should not be viewed as a necessity at all costs.
He encouraged those in unhappy or abusive marriages to seek help or consider ending the relationship, emphasizing that divorce is often better than remaining in a toxic situation.
Chiwetalu Agu also cautioned singles against rushing into marriage for the wrong reasons.
He advised against focusing on superficial qualities such as physical appearance or societal pressure, instead emphasizing the importance of thorough background checks.
In his words,
“Marriage is not a do-or-die affair. If you have an abusive partner, run for your life. If you are in a toxic relationship, run for your life. If you are not happy in your marriage, seek help or run for your life.
“Divorce is better than “rest in peace”. “I want to stay because of my children”. That was how a lady was killed. Now, who will take care of the kids? Is it the man that killed you? Or the relatives who love their own families.
“Always remember to run background checks before marrying someone.
“He is handsome; I want to marry him”: see you, see de*th. “My mates are all married, but I’m still single”: see you, see de*th.”
