Veteran Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola, is trending after making some controversial statements about cheating during a podcast interview.

According to her, infidelity is so deeply rooted in Nigerian culture that most men can’t escape it.

In her words: “The majority of our men cheat. Your father cheated, sir. Sorry, I’m sorry. Your grandfather did. Polygamy, polygamy. Yes, my father has two wives.

I don’t know where this idea of fidelity came from in Africa. The reality is 90 to 99% of our men cheat; it’s ingrained in them. Some even grew up following their fathers to see girlfriends.”

Bimbo went further to say that women should be realistic about relationships, instead of living in denial.

She added: “You leave one man because he cheated, you go to another, the same problem. Jessie cheated on Beyoncé. Did she leave? No. So please, let’s talk about the reality we are facing.”
