Pete Edochie Talks Chioma Chukwukwa, Other Celebrity Divorces in New Interview

For many months now, there have been speculations that actress Chioma Chukwuka may have gotten a divorce, and now during a new interview with Chude, it seems Nollywood veteran Pete Edochie is confirming the story.

During the interview, Pete Edochie was asked about his controversial stance that men, not women, are leaders. In giving his answer, Pete Edochie doubled down on that notion, and also spoke about a number of celebrity divorces including Chioma Chukwuka, Ireti Doyle, and Tonto Dikeh. Here is what Pete Edochie had to say.

During his interview, Pete Edochie was asked "You were quoted as saying "in our culture men lead, it's not the woman that leads". People were uncomfortable with that because this is the era of women's empowerment and feminism. What did you mean by that?" He responded:

PETE EDOCHIE: When you go to marry, your wife drops her father's name, and assumes yours. You can't have two people as captains on a ship. Women convert houses into homes. If you don't have a woman in the house, your house can never be a home. My wife just came in now, she's a lawyer. I have lived with this woman for the past 53 years. Nobody has ever come in here to say "Pete stop beating her, you will kill her", no. Why? Because I never saw my father beat my mother. So I cannot say I learned from my father how to beat mama. No, I did not. I want to think about things that would help us progress, not influences that will drag us backwards. Why are men wearing earrings? What's the inspiration there? Most of these influences come from outside the country. They don't help us. In our culture like I said, a man does not kneel down to offer a ring to a woman. And again, men and women are not equals in the home. No. There has to be a leader. You see, women are free to express their opinions.

If you come to our industry today, most of our girls who got married some 2/3 years ago have all left their husbands. From beginning to the end. I'm even shocked to hear that Chioma Chukwuka has also left her husband. Ireti Doyle, Tonto. You know, you take a vow when you're going to get married - for better, for worse. Not for better, for us. For better, for worse. You will always think it's greener on the other side, that's the mistake that we all make. Try to be satisfied with what you have within you. It goes a long way.
