Veteran Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has stirred conversation with her bold take on infidelity, saying that 90–99% of men cheat by default.
Speaking during a podcast with fellow actress Ayo Adesanya, Akintola explained that cheating is very common among Nigerian men and has become almost normalized in the culture.
The discussion began after Adesanya read a message from a lady seeking advice about her unfaithful boyfriend. Responding, Akintola said: “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% of our men cheat, it’s ingrained in them. Some even grew up following their fathers to see girlfriends.”
Advising woman not to be living in denial, she said: “You leave one man because he cheated, you go to another, the same problem. Jay Z cheated on Beyoncé. Did she leave? No. So please, let’s talk about the reality we are facing,”
