Popular Nollywood actor, Afeez Owo has opened up to Nigerians about how social media nearly destroyed his marriage to his wife, actress Mide Martins.

He said: “The news of our separation went viral. And the fight became our first and the last fight as a couple. It was very serious but we later reconciled.”

“I think I didn’t handle it well because I angrily left the house after we had a misunderstanding.”

“Although, my intention was to spend two nights at a hotel and return home, but after she accused me of leaving the house, I now decided to stay away for more days.”

“She eventually came to apologise, and we reconciled. It was an issue we should have resolved between ourselves, but Social media made the matter escalate even more.”

In a post from April 2016, Mide Martins accused Afeez of moving out of their matrimonial home following an argument.

She stated: “About three months ago, after a minor argument concerning the well-being of his children, he moved out.”
