Gbam!!!
Are you one of those perturbed by
the incessant cases of divorce among the celebrities? Worry no because popular
and respected Nollywood director, Chico Ejiro has addressed the issue.
He opened up on why Nollywood marriages
don't work in an interview with Yes
International Magazine.
In his words:
But in Nollywood, why marriages
don’t work; one day I will go and give them a small lecture. I’m sorry to say
this – the girls feel they are too big, above the men, while the guys, those
ones that cannot manage their marriages, believe in what we call king kong.
King kong believes I’m too much,
who is this woman? So, until they can come together, you the lady, you are
submissive…you cannot have a husband and 24 hours you are on locations,
everyday you travel round the world, next tomorrow you are in one party in
London and you say you are a married woman. How will it work? Or because you
are richer than the boy, you cannot cook for him, you employ a house girl or
your younger sister to be talking care of your husband. E be like Fela song –
she go say I be lady! Your husband smokes, you smoke, your husband clubs, you
club, you wan talk say I am a star. Why? Because one big billionaire is
investing money on you. When you go out, all the people are shouting super
star, super star, super star. So, they should separate their lives and
marriages from acting and become humble. But there are some good examples in
Nollywood o! All of them are not just bad.
We have people like Chioma
Chukwuka – Apotha, she has been keeping her marriage; Omotola Jalade has been
keeping her marriage, Sister Joke Silva. A lot of them have been keeping their
marriages. So, those who cannot keep theirs should go and learn from those who
keep their marriages.
