Veteran Nigerian actor Patrick Doyle, known for his prolific work on screen, has seemingly stirred controversy with a pointed social media post directed at his former wife, fellow actress Ireti Doyle.
The estranged couple, once regarded as a powerhouse duo in Nollywood, parted ways a few years ago, but the bitterness appears to linger. Taking to Facebook, Patrick Doyle shared a cryptic message that many speculate is aimed at Ireti.
In a scathing comment, Doyle lamented that "the worst thing that can happen to any man is entering a marriage with a partner who constantly attacks his ego and self-worth." The post has since sparked a flurry of reactions online, with fans and critics alike reading between the lines of the veteran actor’s words, further fueling rumors of unresolved tension between the former couple.
His words read:
‘’Nothing tests a man’s essence as when his ego and dignity are rubbished by a humiliating snub or gesture from a person with whom he once shared intimacy At such times, it is best not to react in the moment but rather pause and consult your maker. More importantly, never address a humiliation from such a person in the public space.”
He continued, “There is a Yoruba adage that literally translates as “The world should never see the perspiration of a husband on the chest of his wife.” Meaning whatever a man does for, to and with his wife whether ex or current should remain between them.”
A Remark About His Friend’s Ex-Wife
Mr Doyle didn’t stop there, he went further to narrate the experience of a friend of his. He mentioned that his friend’s wife humiliated him in public by taking away his dignity.
His post reads further,
“A dear friend of mine is hurting as a result of his ex-wife’s actions, which appear to humiliate him, and he has responded publicly.
I understand his hurt, and to an extent, I understand his reaction. However, understanding his reaction and endorsing it are 2 different things. Everything my friend had to say was already in well known to us his cronies and associates and really wasn’t the business of the general public.”
In conclusion, he wrote,
“Now that he has made it a public issue, the wise and the foolish will feast on it, thereby extending the shelf life of the humiliation and prolonging his anguish.
An anguish he should have surrendered to God, who would have consoled and restored his dignity in no time. In my opinion, no one must have the power to trigger me into handing over my anguish to a mixed multitude for their perverse entertainment.”
