Women Are Afraid Of Leaving Abusive Marriages Because Of Laziness – Iyabo Ojo

Iyabo Ojo, a Nigerian actress, has said women are always scared of leaving abusive marriages because they lack the will to face the attendant challenges.

In an Instagram live session on Saturday, the movie star said it is unfortunate that women have continued to suffer series of abuses in their marriage because they are lazy to walk away.

“Women are always afraid of walking away from bad relationships because they’re lazy. A bad marriage is a bad marriage no matter how you want to paint it,” she said.

The 43-year-old also said she had been overwhelmed with complaints from many married women seeking her advice on what to do, having endured abuses for years.

According to the mother-of-two, women must come to terms with the reality that marriage is not a do-or-die affair as often preached in the society.

She added that women enduring abuses should learn to walk away to avoid depression.

Citing herself as an example, Ojo said women should articulate survival plans whenever they feel that their marriage is headed for a crash.
