Nigerian singer, Timi Dakolo has added his voice to the spate of divorce that is fast becoming a norm in Nigeria.
Why it matters: Nigeria is a relatively conservative country, just like the rest of Africa and, the increasing drive towards divorce might pull down the strict ideologies of respecting societal norms, aside from divorce.
Here’s what Timi Dakolo says:
The way people are making divorce look like something cool… like your marriage vow means nothing. It makes me wonder what they though for better for worsee meant. If you weren’t sure, why did you ho ahead? Don’t give love a bad name. You guys are the problem not that marriage is bad. This shallow and impatient generation.. fix yourself. Marriage is for two complete adults. Don’t enter into it with your incomplete self. Marriage will not make an incomplete person complete. You should come into it prepared and complete. But, what do I know? Am I not just a musician?
The bottom line: The lackadaisical attitude by “immature guys and girls” towards trying to solve their marital problems is baffling. Many of these divorcees see resolution as a complete of “precious time”. Just like Timi Dakolo has noted, “marriage is for complete adults”.
