Kanayo O Kanayo opens up about his experiences with marriage

“I never knew anything about divorce until we came to Lagos. The Igbo man prefers to d!e in the marriage than divorcing” - Kanayo O. Kanayo 

In a recent interview, veteran Nigerian actor Kanayo O Kanayo talked candidly about his matrimonial difficulties.

The seasoned actor discussed the challenges of marriage in an appearance as a guest on Nedu's podcast, The Honest Bunch.

Kanayo acknowledged that he had not seen his wife in almost four years. KOK discussed marriage and divorce throughout the session, revealing that his understanding of the subject had only evolved since moving to Lagos.

He said he thought young couples in the city had a mentality that undermines the stability of marriage.
