Veteran Nigerian actor, Chiwetalu Agu, has given an important piece of advice to singles: always do a background check before marrying someone. His advice comes at a time when the public is still talking about the recent divorce between singer 2Face and his wife, Annie Idibia.

In a video that’s quickly gaining attention on Instagram, Agu warned people not to rush into marriage due to peer pressure or the fear of being single. He emphasized that marriage should not be a matter of life or death. If you’re in an abusive or toxic relationship, it’s better to leave than stay. He encouraged people to seek help if they are unhappy in their marriage and advised those in dangerous situations to leave immediately.

Agu shared the tragic story of a woman who was killed by her husband, urging the public to take marriage seriously and not make hasty decisions based on appearance or societal pressure. While it’s natural to want to be in a relationship, your safety and well-being should always come first.

His message was clear: don’t let the pressure to marry lead you into a dangerous relationship. Always do a background check before getting married and remember, it’s okay to leave a toxic relationship for your own safety and happiness.
