Popular Nigerian singer, Onyeka Onwenu, in
a recent interview has shared her experience while she was married as a young
woman.
The veteran singer and actress in the interview with Kikilomo Atanda-Owo
disclosed that staying in her marriage would have ended her life, even though
she did not want the marriage to end.
According to Onwenu, it was not good for her and her kids to stay in a
marriage where she was depressed. The singer disclosed that she was carrying
the weight of the family while she was married.
She said, “I went through my marriage, it was difficult because I
really did not want my marriage to end but I could not take it anymore, it
would have killed me.
“I always say this and that is the truth. It was not good for the
children to live in that kind of environment where the mother is depressed, the
mother is carrying the weight of the whole family.”
