Nollywood actor Charles Inojie has stirred controversy after sharing his unusual views about marriage and divorce.
The actor argued that couples often struggle because they have moved away from what he described as God’s original plan.
Speaking during the BeerParlourTalkShow podcast, Inojie made a controversial claim about the role of side relationships in marriages.
He said, “One of the reasons the rate of divorce is high is because we humans have left God’s original design for marriage.”
Inojie then suggested that extramarital relationships could help some couples remain married during difficult periods.
He explained, “For instance, God knows marriage would not be easy, that’s why He created side chicks so that when things are hard at home, the man can use the side chick to save the marriage because side chick is very important in every marriage.”
The actor also shared a story about a married man who allegedly escaped a plane crash after an unexpected event.
According to Inojie, the man had travelled from Lagos to Abuja for a conference before planning his return home.
He said the man later spent time with another woman before heading to the airport. Inojie claimed the woman became emotional and followed him to the airport.
He quoted her as saying, “Who are you? Go and ask my story. Anyone that knows me knows I’m bad, but you see this one that you did, no one has ever done it to me before.”
The actor said the woman continued crying during the journey, prompting the taxi driver to urge the man to hear her out.
