Nollywood actress, Funmi Awelewa has revealed that women endure abusive marriages due to some factors.
According to the movie star, due to financial instability and in some cases their children, women stay with violent husbands and endure whatever comes with it.
She said, “Some women are enduring abusive marriages because they are not financially stable. Why would you stay in an abusive marriage when you can leave? But, because they are financially incapacitated, they endure it sometimes for their children’s sake?”
While explaining the importance of money, Awelewa expressed opinion that it does not give happiness.
“I am convinced that money is important because it would give one respect. If one does not have money, one’s talent and creativity would go to waste. Some rich people only patronise people that are rich.
“I believe that money is important but it does not guarantee happiness. I believe there are some uncomfortable things that one would experience if one does not have money. People would not respect one and sometimes, one may be ridiculed and silenced when one wants to talk. Without money, nothing can be achieved. One cannot lack money and be genuinely happy. When one has money, some people would assure one that they have one’s back, but if anything happens, they would abscond. The only way to help oneself and the people that matter to one is to be consistent,” the actress stated.
