Renowned singer and skit maker Nasboi has urged Nigerians to stop using celebrity marriages as a benchmark for defining the institution of marriage. His remarks came in the wake of the ongoing speculation surrounding the reported divorce of veteran musician 2Face Idibia and his wife, Annie Idibia.
Nasboi criticized the tendency of some Nigerians to question the validity of marriage whenever a celebrity union fails. He highlighted the importance of looking closer to home, pointing out that many people’s parents have maintained successful marriages for decades.
In his words:
“One celebrity divorce, then you begin to say this thing called marriage is not for me. But you forget your parents that have been married for over 30-something years. Stop using celebrity marriages to define marriage. If you like no marry, na you sabi.”
Nasboi’s comments sparked a lively conversation online, with fans and followers sharing their thoughts:
• @tarikabor_: “If marriage is not for them, then hookup is their calling. Oboy, you can’t help who is on the ground not willing to stand.”
• @ashabul_jannah: “Absolutely! People forget that celebrity marriages are not the blueprint for real life. Look at the strong, lasting examples around you instead of chasing social media narratives. Marriage is what you make of it.”
• @patricknedu: “Leave the wereys to be lose guarding.”
Nasboi’s post serves as a reminder to focus on personal values and real-life examples of enduring relationships rather than drawing conclusions from the often tumultuous world of celebrity unions.
