Chiwetalu Agu, a seasoned Nigerian actor, has emphasized the importance of conducting a thorough background check before tying the knot.
This advice comes in light of the recent divorce between singer 2Face and his wife, Annie Idibia.
In a viral video posted on Instagram, Chiwetalu Agu cautioned against succumbing to peer pressure and rushing into marriage. He stressed that marriage should not be entered into hastily, and encouraged individuals in unhealthy relationships to seek support or leave if necessary.
”Marriage is not a do-or-die affair. If you have an abusive partner, or 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 or because he is rich. That was how a lady was burnt to death by her husband. Now, who will take care of the kids? Is it the husband that killed you? Or the relatives who love their own families?
“Always remember to do a background checks before proceeding to marrying someone. She is beautiful or he is handsome; I want to marry him or her by all means, see you, see death.
“My mates are all married, but I’m still single, see you, see death. I pray we don’t make mistakes that will cost us our life in the name of marriage in Jesus name.”
