I celebrate divorce when marriages become unbearable, says Bovi

Nigerian stand-up comedian and actor, Bovi Ugboma, has said he supports divorce in situations where marriages become unhealthy, arguing that ending a troubled union is often better than remaining in a relationship that leaves either partner unhappy. Speaking on a recent episode of The Morayo Show posted on Monday, Bovi said he sees divorce as a relief for couples who are no longer thriving in their marriages. “I celebrate when people get divorced because I feel it means one or both people were not breathing well in the marriage. I will not suffer anybody, nor will I want anybody to suffer me,” he said. The comedian, however, stressed that his views on divorce should not be interpreted as a dismissal of the challenges associated with marriage. Reflecting on his own experience, Bovi revealed that his 17-year marriage has not been without difficulties.

It has not. I got married at 29. I have been providing for 17 years nonstop,” he said. He also spoke on the traditional expectation that men should provide for their families, while encouraging women to pursue their ambitions and attain financial independence. According to him, women who are driven to contribute financially to their households should have their efforts acknowledged and appreciated. “If a woman’s passion drives her to provide, her contributions should be recognised and respected,” he added.
