Veteran Nollywood actress Toyin Adegbola, widely recognized as Toyin Tomato, has urged wives to reconsider divorcing their unfaithful husbands.

During an Instagram live session on Monday, the 62-year-old film star emphasized that marriage does not entail equality.

Adegbola further encouraged women to stay with their "unfaithful" partners while also advising them to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections.

“No matter how terrible your husband is, don’t ever think of chasing him out or leaving his house because you will have to beg later when your children have an important event,” she said.

“You as the woman have suffered in your marriage and if you leave, no single man will marry you. Stay in your husband’s house and just beg him to protect himself.

“I have a friend who buys packs of condoms for her husband whenever he is visiting Nigeria. When the man arrives, he will call me to let me know what my friend did.

“Won’t he sleep with another woman? Can a woman come to Nigeria and her husband buys her condoms? We don’t have equal rights and I will continue to say this.

“Please men, take us as your cross and see us as your first child. We have also married you and taken you as our first child because despite how wise men are, they are also very foolish.

“Whatever we want you to see is what you will see. Between us women and our children, whatever we want you to know is what you’ll know. So, because of that, I also don’t support having a joint account.”
