Controversial Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu has given his unsolicited opinion as regards the raving issue ‘divorce’.
in an Instagram post on Friday, the actor said celebrating divorce should be normalised because not many dare to walk away from bad marriages.
The actor added that divorce proves one’s bravery and achieving freedom from bad unions is a feat worthy of celebration.
He wrote: “We need to normalize celebrating divorce and stop making it. Look like a funeral. Divorce is not a sign of failure, it’s a celebration of bravery and freedom,” he began.
“People who don’t celebrate their divorce anniversaries are being ungrateful to God because so many people are still in bad and unhappy.
“Marriages that they are unable to walk out of, so if you are lucky enough to walk out of a Marriage that does not bring out the best in you, please celebrate. It takes a special grace from God to achieve that freedom.”
His post has however stirred a lot of reactions from netizens who kicked against celebrating such feats.
#Damilolaogunsi commented, “When do we realize that except for physical violence and continuous adultery, two humans can put aside their pride and work on their marriages?
“The effect a messy divorce or any divorce has on the psyche of the children is monumental. It’s a bit understandable if one parent is deceased, but a tearing of the fabric of marriage hurts everyone. I think we need to normalize working on things first.”
