It has become common to hear of celebrity marriage
brake-up in Nigeria. In April 2016, the trending news topic
was the crash of Tiwa Savage’s marriage with her former
manager, Teebilz. Again, OAP and Show host, Toke
Makinwa announced the sudden crash of her marriage to
fitness trainer, Maje Ayida. Early this year, it became an
open secret that Tonto Dike’s marriage with Dr. Churchill
has crashed. Off course, these three cases are just a
case study of many celebrity failed marriages in Nigeria
entertainment industry.
Why is it that with the fame, fortune and good looks, our
celebrities’ marriages still don’t work? It has been a
strange phenomenon that the union of people in the
limelight hardly lasts, indeed. So the question is, why do
most celebrity marriages crash frequently?
See the reasons given by other celebrities for this:
Mercy Aigbe, Nollywood actress has this to say on why
celebrity marriages crash.
“ Nollywood marriages are more challenging because we are
constantly in the news without any breathing space or
privacy. Also, some journalists just get stories and are too
lazy to verify such stories before publishing them.”
Yvonne Jegede, another popular actress said: “ I don’t
think absence of humility is the cause of celebrity marriage
crisis, I think it’s because they marry for the wrong reasons.”
Folake Shadare, actress, believes that; “ Some of the
celebrities whose marriages crashed were not only unlucky,
but they probably married another person’s husband.”
Renowned Ghollywood cum Nollywood actress, Juliet
Ibrahim, says there are a lot of ‘evil spirits working
tirelessly to bring downfall celebrities’ marriages. For
Ramsey Noauh;
“ Most times, I would say to about 60 to 70 percent of the
time showbiz actually is one of the reason why marriages
crumble.”
Having heard from the celebrities on why marriage crash
among celebrities, we can now go ahead to hear the
lessons to take out from such ugly development. This
lessons are typically for aspiring couples.
1. Fame is dangerous to relationships for many reasons.
Spending time together is necessary to sustain a
relationship, yet celebrities tend to ignore this and only
focus on how to become more famous. For your
relationship to work, you must spend quality time with
your spouse. This lacked in Tiwa’s marriage as she was
often not available, according to Teebilz.
2. Fake life is bad. Most tend to live a life that is not
theirs. The pressure of wanting to create or give people
the impression of having a sense of perfection will
certainly make your marriage crumble. Put a stop to all
the pretence and be real to yourself. Toke and Tonto were
posting on social media of how good their spouse are,
whereas all wasn’t well in their relationship. They
pretended that their marriage were the best, until the
storm was too much to bear.
3. Infidelity destroys relationships. It is the most common
cause of most celebrity marriage break-ups in Nigeria.
Some spouses have left their marriages when they could
no longer bear the indiscretions of their unfaithful
partners. Teebilz accused Tiwa of sleeping with 2Face, Dr
Sid, and Don Jazzy. Tonto also accused Dr Churchill of
infidelity.
4. Don’t give room for jealousy in your relationship.
Jealousy is also a problem in celebrity union. If one, for
instance, has more fame, more success than the other, it
can cause problems if the other party does not have the
strength of character to cope with his or her partner being
constantly in the limelight. We can also attribute this to
Teebilz and Tiwa. Teebilz at a point became jealous of
Tiwa’s success.
5. Publicising your marriage on the media is dangerous.
By doing this, you give the media room for unnecessary
fake publications and attentions to your relationship.
