Nollywood actress Shola Kosoko shares her perspective on divorce.
In an interview with her colleague Biola Bayo, the Yoruba actress expressed her opinion on divorce, particularly as it impacts an individual’s life. She observed that when a woman finds herself in a precarious situation, she receives advise from various sources, but she must choose one.
She said that women should have the freedom to make their own decisions and that no marriage is worth a person’s life, using a well-known Yoruba proverb.
“I would say that advice will come from different angles and advice will vary. There is a Yoruba adage that says ‘If someone faces you, you should face them too”. It simply means you can take A advice, take B advice but when it comes to a point, you should be able to decide”.
