Most Nollywood Actresses Have Left Their Husbands – Pete Edochie

Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, says he is shocked most actresses in the Nigerian movie industry have left their husbands.

Edochie, in a recent interview, spoke about the spate of failed marriages in Nollywood.

He referred to Chioma Akpotha, Ireti Doyle and Tonto Dikeh’s failed marriages.

The 76-year-old actor said most women make the mistake of thinking that the grass is greener on the other side.

The film star said women should take their wedding vows seriously and remain in their marriages for better or worse.

Edochie also argued that men and women are not equals in the home.

“In our culture, a man does not kneel to offer a ring to a woman,” he said.

“If you come to our industry today, most of our girls, who got married two or three years ago, have all left their husbands.

“I was even shocked to hear that Chioma Chukwuka, Ireti Doyle, and Tonto had also left.

“You know, you take a vow when you are getting married for better or worse. Not for better for us but for better or worse.

“You will always think it is greener on the other side. That is the mistake that we all make,” he added.

Edochie and his wife, Josephine, celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary in October 2022.
