Actress, Moji Olaiya, has admitted in a recent interview why she had to quit her marriage although she somehow wish things were different.
According to her: ‘A woman needs a man in her life. There are things a man would do that you cannot do as a woman but I have no regret leaving my marriage, but I regret not being under a man’s roof. It is not respectable in this part of the world. But I try to comport myself even as a divorced woman and as a typical Yoruba woman and to avoid scandal. I have a daughter to protect and cater for.The marriage was not working so I had to quit. My partner went as far as abusing me so I had to leave to protect myself and my daughter.Yes, domestic violence is just the right word.’
She further added that she’s in a relationship, ‘I am in a relationship but I am yet to be legally separated from my husband.’
