The rate at which celebrities tie and untie the knot today is quite alarming and even frightening, so much that the idea of marriage scares some most people.
Issues definitely arise in all marriages, but the ability to manage the crisis makes the vows of the marriage worth taking.
However, many Nigerian celebrities seem not to be able to manage these crises and bail at the first knock of trouble.
Celebrities like Tiwa Savage, Toke Makinwa and more recently Lilian Esoro, could not hold the centre and helplessly watched as things fell apart.
In Tiwa Savages’ case, issues ranging from mental abuse, mistrust and theft were raised, while cheating and infidelity were the issues that led to the split in Toke Makinwa and Toyin Aimakhu’s respective marriages.
