Move the hell on — Sarah Martins takes controversy to new levels
Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has once again waded into the family drama of Yul Edochie, defending the practice of African men taking multiple wives. In a recent Instagram post, the controversial movie star shared video recordings of a woman claiming that having more than one wife is legal in Nigeria.
Accompanying the videos, Martins wrote a lengthy caption indirectly targeting May Edochie, seemingly referencing her previous comments on the issue. She recounted her own personal experience of leaving her marriage after her ex-husband cheated on her with an older woman. Martins married her ex-husband at the age of 19 as a virgin.
In her post, Martins suggested that instead of making a fuss about sharing a man, women who are unable to do so should simply choose to leave. She expressed her belief that African men have the right to practice polygamy and that it is not the problem itself. She also mentioned that bigamy is considered a scam in Nigeria and warned against using it as a threat.
Sharing her own story, Martins revealed that she peacefully moved on from her failed marriage without seeking sympathy, despite marrying at a young age. She emphasized that her love was betrayed and she felt used, particularly after making efforts to maintain her decency for her future husband. When her husband fell out of love with her and chose an older woman, Martins decided to move on without bitterness.
Martins concluded her post by affirming that her experience did not deter her from giving love a second chance. At the age of 31, she emphasized that her romantic relationships have been limited, indicating that she remains attractive and desirable.
The actress’s social media post sparked controversy and mixed reactions from her followers and fans. While some praised her for speaking her mind and defending African cultural practices, others criticized her for promoting the idea of accepting infidelity and polygamy.
The ongoing family drama between Yul Edochie and his wife May has attracted significant attention on social media, with various individuals offering their opinions on the matter. Sarah Martins has repeatedly involved herself in the discussion, presenting her perspective and defending the choices made by African men regarding marriage and polygamy.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how others, including May Edochie and the wider public, will respond to Martins’ comments and the controversy surrounding the topic.
