Veteran Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola, has set social media abuzz with a bold statement about relationships and infidelity among Nigerian men.
In a recent interview, the award-winning actress asserted that “90% of Nigerian men cheat,” a remark that has since stirred heated reactions both online and offline. Akintola, known for her outspoken personality, explained that her statement was drawn from personal observations, experiences of close friends, and trends within society.
According to her, infidelity has become normalized among many Nigerian men, leaving women to endure pain in silence or choose to walk away. She also noted that while cheating is not peculiar to Nigerian men alone, the culture of silence and justification makes it more rampant and damaging in the country.
Her comments immediately divided opinions. Some Nigerians agreed with her position, saying that infidelity has indeed become a common issue in marriages and relationships. Others, however, criticized her for generalizing, insisting that many men still value loyalty, commitment, and integrity.
The actress’s statement has since gone viral on social media, with thousands of posts and debates on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. While some hailed her courage for speaking her truth, others accused her of exaggeration and painting Nigerian men in a bad light.
This controversy is not the first time a Nigerian celebrity has sparked a debate over fidelity. In recent years, conversations about love, loyalty, and cheating have remained a recurring theme in entertainment and public discourse.
