    Why women must not divorce a cheating husband – Veteran actress spills

    Veteran Nollywood actress, Toyin Adegbola, better known as Toyin Tomato, has urged women to remain with their unfaithful husbands, as there is no equality in marriage.

    The 62-year-old in a recent Instagram live session, advised women against divorcing their philandering husbands, instead encouraged them to take precautions against sexually transmitted diseases.

    “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.”
