Veteran Nigeria singer Onyeka Onwenu, has revealed her marriage once left her constantly depressed to the extent that she knew she wanted out.

While speaking about her failed marriage with Media Roomhub magazine, Onwenu said she was saddled with the responsibility of raising her children.

She said her husband refused to help with the children’s tuition and even made demands of her that left her without a social life.

Onwenu, advised women not to remain in toxic marriages because of their children, because those children will even suffer more if they lose their mother.

“Unless it happens to you, you really don’t understand the sacrifices that women make. It’s about the love thing, it’s about the children as well. We want to preserve a home where there is a father and there is a unit.

But, if it’s going to take your life, get out fast, run! Because your children without you will suffer more.

And by the way, you don’t need to be in an environment where there is emotional trauma, and emotional abuse.”

“And there were years where I was constantly depressed and my children noticed. On my fiftieth birthday, my first son was asked what she wished his mother, and he said something that struck me.

He said he just wants the mother to be happy. I was surprised, I was shocked that I didn’t fool these guys.

And I took a decision that day to fight for my happiness. My fulfillment, my joy and not waiting for my husband to take care of me as he used to, and should do. I decided to do all of that for myself and there was a change.

So, don’t wait to be killed. You have children, and you have to be alive to take care of them. Also, depression is not a good thing.”

Onyeka Onwenu known for keeping a low profile on her private life for the first time opened up about her marital life in her 2020 memoir titled “My Father’s Daughter”.

“In this book, I am, perhaps for the very first time, setting the records straight with respect to my connubial relationship. Yes, I was married. I married a man I fell in love with in 1984. We have two children: Tijani and Ibrahim. (Ibrahim later changed the first letter of his name from I to A, and thus became Abraham.) My husband is Yoruba, and was a Muslim when we met.”. She wrote.
