A
Nollywood actress has told people to stop poke-nosing into her marriage
as no amount of infidelity will make her quit the marriage.
Nigerian actress, Foluke Daramola Salako
A Nigerian actress, Foluke Daramola Salako in a chat with Tribune
has said that infidelity will not make her leave her husband as she
openly admonished critics to leave details of her marriage out of the
public sphere and leave her marriage alone.
Salako further stated that her marriage is not a bondage but an
understanding union between two mature individuals and she knows how to
handle things in her home.
“This was not about someone sending a text to me about seeing
my husband with another lady, it is about people insinuating that
whatever he does on social media means that I am having problems with my
marriage. He was just reacting to the fact that our marriage is intact.
I want people to mind their business concerning my marriage. It’s
overflogged already, everything about me is my marriage, my marriage,
marriage!
"The pressure that Nigerians put on all celebrities and our
marriages is not making the relationship healthy, when everything about
you is let out to the media, there will be a problem, there will be
pressure from all angles, even if they see my husband with a woman, does
it mean he has anything to do with that woman? And even if anything
should go wrong at the end of the day, if someone tells me about it,
what does the person want me to do? Does the person want me to say I’m
not interested anymore?” the actress asked.
“I’ve always said that the only thing that can take me away
from my home is critical and emotional abuse. Infidelity can never take
me away from my home because I know how to handle it. I always tell him
that he can never find anybody like me. I know my man, I know myself and
I know what obtains in my home, so what’s the fuss about?”
She however continued, “My husband is a public commentator, he
talks about politics, social issues, education, and even featured in my
last film, the cobweb, nobody even talks about all these aspects of him,
it’s just my marriage, it should have been over flogged by now. I don’t
talk so much about my marriage, except when I post lovely photos
because I’m grateful to God for my family, only for people to start
saying when are these people going to break up or get separated.
"I have found that a lot of Nigerians are sadists and just want
to bring people to that place of sadness that they are, unfortunately,
no one will bring me to that place of sadness because my marriage is
intact, I’m happy with my life, it doesn’t mean we don’t have our
challenges because we are human beings, but if I have any challenges
with my husband, it will never be on the pages of newspapers or social
media. No matter what happens, it cannot degenerate to me leaving my
husband because he is not a wife beater or an abuser, but as for
infidelity, I can handle it very well.”
