‘Learn to embrace your husband’s side chick for better mental health’ – Kudirat Ogunro urges women
Yoruba actress and filmmaker, Kudirat Ogunro, aka Kudi Alagbo, has advised married women to accept the fact that their husbands would have side chicks.
She said, “These days, one (a woman) needs to have it at the back of one’s mind that at home, one’s husband could be ‘my bear’. But, when he is outside, he becomes, ‘our daddy’. I believe that 70 per cent of men cheat; so for one’s sanity, one should know that a ‘side chick’ exists somewhere. By doing that, one can celebrate more blissful years in one’s marriage. This truth is bitter for some; but the earlier one knows it, the better for one’s mental health.”
Speaking on why she delved into making herbal products, she said, “Kudi Alagbo is the brand name I gave my herbal products. I am from a family where everyone has a knowledge of herbs. Unlike many who sell herbs online and don’t have the wherewithal, I am different because that was our family’s means of livelihood when I was growing up; and even till now.”
In 2019, Kudirat Ogunro revealed that she will allow her husband to have a girlfriend after their marriage in order to have a settled home.
Ogunro told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in an interview in Abuja that men are, by nature, polygamous.
She advised women to stop deceiving themselves by trying to wholly own their husbands.
“I’m not a jealous lover. In fact, when I get married, my husband has to have a girlfriend.
“That’s how my home can be settled and peaceful instead of him telling me ‘it’s only you baby’. No, I don’t believe in those words. I’m very serious. Men are polygamous by nature; so don’t let us fool ourselves,” the actress said.
