OAP Toke Makinwa and actress Toyin Abraham have used the death sentence issued to Maryam Sanda to justify their decision to leave their failed marriage.
Maryam Sanda got sentenced to death yesterday for killing her husband whom she stabbed to death on suspicion of cheating.
The sentence which was delivered by a High Court in Abuja has seen many Nigerians debating. Part of those who have reacted to the news includes Toke Makinwa and Toyin Abraham.
Toke Makinwa who is divorced from a marriage with Maje Ayida reacted to the news saying:
“I know some conversations are tough but they must be had, nobody is worth throwing the rest of your life in jail or even worse, a death sentence, anger is evil, choose your mental health and walk away always. It’s hard, it’s tough but one minute of anger can take away everything.
“They say divorce is not an option and it’s a sin, and it’s not our tradition but if you die or kill someone cos of anger, the same people that “said”will only cry with you as you throw your life away, try separation first and if things don’t get better, choose you.
“Life is tough, people are angry, there is frustration in the land. The only sanity you can guarantee is yours. If someone is threatening your peace pls separate from them, at least you can both be alive to raise your kids, and maybe one day find a resolve, stop testing yourself”
Toyin Abraham who recently got married to actor Kolawole Ajeyemi after divorcing actor Adeniyi Johnson also shared:
“if it’s not working please leave. I’m heartbroken. The baby. God please. I have never cried like this pls ALLAH”.
“They were happy. Pls leave if it’s not working. They will mock you but please just leave. God I’m heartbroken. I’m so down. Don’t care about what people will say cos people will always talk. GOD please for the baby”.
