Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola is making headlines after making controversial remarks about cheating.
During a recent podcast interview, the veteran movie star stated that ninety-nine percent of Nigerian men cheat.
According yo her, infidelity is so deeply rooted in Nigerian culture that most men can’t escape it. She added that most of our men grew up following their fathers and grandpas to see girlfriends.
In her words:
“The majority of our men cheat. Your father cheated, sir. Sorry, I’m sorry. Your grandfather did. Polygamy, polygamy. Yes, my father has two wives.
I don’t know where this idea of fidelity came from in Africa. The reality is 90 to 99% of our men cheat, it’s ingrained in them. Some even grew up following their fathers to see girlfriends.”

The talented actress went further to say that Nigerian women should be realistic about relationships, instead of living in denial. According to her, leaving a cheating husband is not the solution as the next man they will be getting married to is also a cheat.
She added:
“You leave one man because he cheated, you go to another, the same problem. Jessie cheated on Beyoncé. Did she leave? No. So please, let’s talk about the reality we are facing.”
