Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, also known as Nedu, is a well-known Nollywood actor and media personality. He has expressed his thoughts on the high divorce rate in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

The comedian disclosed that the primary cause of the frequent dissolution of celebrity marriages is the absence of harmony in their unions.

Nedu stated that he thinks mental health issues can be a legitimate justification for divorcing, stressing that divorce is a good choice if being married makes one’s happiness less likely.

He criticized the idea that unhappy marriages should be accepted as one’s “crosses,” arguing that maintaining one’s sanity is crucial.

Nedu recently said, “My take on divorce is, if it doesn’t work, then take a walk,” in an interview with Hip TV. I’m all for mental tranquility. I don’t want whatever is preventing me from feeling at peace. I cannot leave and commit suicide.

Some tell you to bear your cross and move on. No, only Jesus bears that cross. What am I doing with you if you’re not bringing me comfort? Nothing at all. The most essential aspect of who I am is that I guard my sanity. I’m not advocating for people to get divorced, but consider if you’re returning home every day for your children and not your spouse. You can infer a lot from it.

What are you doing if the person you are married to doesn’t make you happy? Get out if it’s not working.

According to News, Nedu and his divorced wife Uzoamaka split up in 2018 after he accused her of falsifying her paternity.
