“I’ve Been Separated For 4 Years” – Kanayo O Kanayo Recently Opens Up on His Crashed Marriage
Last month, veteran Nigerian actor Kanayo O Kanayo went on Nedu’s podcast, The Honest Bunch, to address the difficulties of his marriage.
The renowned actor said that he has been separated from his wife for over four years. During the program, KOK discussed the topic of marriage and divorce, indicating that his knowledge of divorce only improved after coming to Lagos.
He mentioned that young couples in the city have a certain attitude that he feels is damaging to marital stability.
According to Kanayo, most Igbo men despise divorce. He stated that rather than quitting a problematic marriage, many people prefer to stay and endure it.

“I never knew anything about divorce until we came to Lagos. The Igbo man prefers to d!e in the marriage than divorcing”

You didn’t know what divorce is doesn’t mean there are no civilized igbo then that doesn’t know about it. So divorce is not a tribal thing. Any small thing the Igbo man. No tribe is perfect.”
@Timothy_Dikachi said: “This is so true. Only some new generation Igbo men that go into marriage with divorce plans on sight.”
@macnamuna said: “I’m not surprised, most of them there fathers married 4 or 5 wives and no one left. And people give there daughter out for marriage base of character and family background, but today the only criteria you need as a man to get married is money.”
