Popular Nollywood actress, Ngozi Nwosu has fired a strong warning to Nigerian women.

She said: “Marriage is not a do or die affair. When domestic violence becomes too much, it’s best to walk away. If you accept it once, be ready to keep accepting it for the rest of your life.”

“My husband was a violent person. I remember one day he broke the kitchen door while I was boiling water, dragged me by my hair, and I started bleeding. That’s a day I’ll never forget.”

“I don’t know where I got the strength from that day, but I picked up a pestle, ready to defend myself, I was ready to go to jail. My neighbours even saw me naked.”

“Don’t stay with a man who beats you and apologizes later. Once it happens, it will happen again.”
