Seun Kuti thinks married people should be made to stay together until their kids are 18

Father of one Seun Kuti says he's not married because he doesn't believe in the institution and thinks that there should be a law that forces married people to stay together whether they want to or not until their kids are at least 18 years old. Who agrees with him?

  1. The Kuti family have always been known for words of wisdom. Yes I quite agree with him. What is the essence of marriage if not for kids? They are 90% the reason .!!

  3. Funny enough, i totally agree with what he said. People shouldn't bring babies into the world in the heat of their love and passion only to abandon them to emotional and psychological torture when they feel it is time to move on.
    On the other hand,i am sorry for this sister who is a baby making machine for this dude who dosnt believe in marriage. Close ur legs sis and decide to live a meaningful life. My 5kobo.

    1. Yea he is right but let me also add that it is good also to make it a law that anyone who gets his partner pregnant will marry her in order to provide security for the child. A child shld grow wt the knowledge of his parents being husband and wife and not just partners.

  5. Based on the rate of divorce, violent and abuse in marriage these days, one wouldn't dispute his claim that marriage is not a wonderful institution, more and more people are beginning to lose fate in marriage, I have a female friend who feels same way also, but I still believe in marriage to be wonderful institution

  6. You don't believe in marriage? What do you believe in then...Adultery? 1 cor 6:19-20. BishopDammy#

    1. Adultery may be 'sinful' and may be causing its own problems here and there(broken hearts, free diseases etc) but atleast he's not deceiving himself by marrying only to cheat on his wife. I like a man who can admit he's not ready to settle down to avoid bringing misery to his family and making his wife nag then blame her for it.

    2. Please educate yourself he's not married living with someone you are not married to is called cohabitating and living with someone you are married to is marriage. So stop confusing people they are 2 different things and not one and the same

  12. Yes I agree wit him! Before u divorce urself over every dumb lil tins, can u please think about the effect on ur child. The kids suffer divorce!

    ReplyDelete
  13. He is making a solid point. I know people that recently got divorced, and I am thinking of what would happen to their kid. I am not family or anything to them, but I know the little kids well, and i feel a lot of pain for what they are going through, and what they will go through for many more years. It ain't good for on the kids.


    I get where he is coming from. What I would say is people should stop jumping into marriage without fully understanding themselves or because they feel they are getting too old. Too many separations and divorces out there right now.



    I don't think you can force people who don't want to be together again to stay together, but at least this can be curbed by prevention...'People, know how compatible you are with who you are getting married to. F Love...what's love got to do with it really?'


    On his suggestion, if the parents can stay together till the kids reach at least like early teens, it would still do a lot of good for the kids. Kids really need complete parenting...a mother and a father.

  14. Oh! I'm not surprised,whatever the snake gave birth to must be long.he's a product of his environment.
    And coming to his assertion that people should be forced to stay together till their children turns 18,what of in a situation where the first child is like 10 and the second 1,and the there's a possibility that the parents may stay together waiting for the last child to turn 18,and the first child gets married and start raising his own children.
    His proposition doesn't hold water.

  33. The first sentence in his opinion should not have been there, it made a very remarkable comment worthless. The other part especially the legislation is so perfect and my God. it will make a whole lot of sense. people are so full of themselves and selfish that they could careless about the innocent new generation the brought into existence.marriage is honorable in all and the purpose of marriage is divine and God's idea.

  37. You don't believe in marriage buh you believe in making babys.I don't really blame him his mentality comes from his lineage it runs in their family blood, but at the same time I think he made some sense by saying the couple have to stay together till the child is 18+ if they want to divorce but then pple have their own strong reasons why they divorce tho am against divorce but in a situation of life and death you don't stay put in the marriage.if the lady or guy die because of the abuse of the partner what will happen to the child u are trying to take all for in the name of marriage.so most times when ppl leave is not all about Ego their is more to it.lovely pix

  40. I SOLIDLY DISAGREE WITH HIM. WHY REMAIN IN A LOVELESS OR UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.

    IT IS EQUALLY DAMAGING TO STAY IN A MARRIAGE BECAUSE OF KIDS WHEN YOU ARE NOT HAPPY, BEING ABUSED PHYSICALLY AND VERBALLY ....WHAT MESSAGE ARE YOU GIVING THE KIDS THEN?

    IT IS BETTER TO BE SINGLE AND HAPPY AND RAISE A CHILD THAT WAY THEN TO STAY IN A LOVELESS OR ABUSIVE MARRIAGE.

    ALTHOUGH I AGREE THAT PEOPLE SHOULD THINK TWICE...INFACT 100 TIMES BEFORE JUMPING IN AND OUT OF MARRIAGES THESES DAYS.

  44. Suen Kuti, I really don't know how stupid you can be. Kindly enlighten us on the difference between a child from divorced parents and a child from unmarried parents. They will both have major security issues!

    Your own current situation does not provide any more security for your child than what you're criticizing.

    Marriage is not easy! You don't even have the balls to do it yet you're criticizing people who have and perhaps failed. Just shut up already!

  53. I agree wholeheartedly! This coming from a man who doesn't believe in marriage? Methinks, based on this, he would honour the institution more than many who claim to believe in it.

    His brother has similar views too right? Funny, Fela married plenty, he overmarried sef, yet his sons are against it.

    Too many ironies here.

  55. I over agree. It's annoying when u see adults divorcing over their little selfish ways without thinking of d impact on d kids. Marriage is not about d 2 plp involved it's way beyound that. D only problem in that law will b more spouse death cos I know a lot of plp will rather kill or die than stay in a troubled marriage. But d truth is that most times they are blinded by d enemy of man. Satan will not let them see d truth untill d damage is done.

  57. I totally understand that children go through a lot when parents decide to separate but you cannot "force" people to stay together when they can no longer tolerate themselves. How do you expect a couple to stay for 18years together when they cannot stand themselves for an extra day. Better they separate than force them to become murderers! Wish my brother had taken the "divorce route", his kids will still have a father, me a brother and maybe his wife..a friend! Its more traumatizing to loose a father than have one who only lives yards away!

    ReplyDelete
  58. I kinda agree wif him o jare... This whole divorce tin is gettin worse and the children are the ones who suffer the trauma and shame the most..... Buh finally,you can't force anyone to stay anywhere,it only makes matters worse #sighs#

Everything goes 4 divorce dis days e.g. Not gud in bed, holiday, shouting.......... Everything goes!

  75. I so agree with him, even at 26 the tot still breaks me down talk more of someone under 18, he has made a solid point.....The psychological trauma is out of this world, the fact that you blame yourself as a child that perhaps its your fault is not something you wish on your worst enemy. And then the stigma that your suitors family is so perfect that they will think you are not right for their son if they find out your parents are divorced is excruciating.... I can go on and on but lemme stop here.

What is the difference between a couple who cannot bear each other, having a divorce and moving on with their lives, and you that is not married to your baby mama,just because you have a child with her does not guarantee that you wouldn't leave her in the future: or even impregnate another woman!!! Why don't you marry her, she is good enough for you to impregnate, but not good enough for you to marry smh!!! Fucking bastard, and I know that just because she has a child for you, doesn't mean you wouldn't cheat on her or leave her, fucking retard!!! Whizman

  87. If you follow the precepts of marriage as espoused in the Bible,divorce is no biggie. Marriage is an institution ordained by God. "He who finds a wife f8nds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord" Bible says"Enjoy the WIFE of your youth; let her breast satisfy you at all times"

    Girlfriend/baby mama is not a WIFE.

  93. I Completely AGREE!!! I have seen first hand what broken homes can do to someone and trust me it aint pretty! Some parents even use their kids as bait to get money or whatever it is they want, they drag them into this Ugliness and most times the psychological effect never goes away from those children. Please I beg all you married people out there, before u get a divorce over sth realy petty which most times they are... think about those cute little ones u brought into this world that depend on you, look up to u, imitate u and see u as their rock! Please be that rock n don't break! Don't even crack because u are responsible for how your kids turn out and above all think "What would Jesus do" Cos trust me there is no peace without him.... God bless u all

  94. Seriously??So what happens when he find another girlfriend ?They all live happily together depending on when their "18 yr" time spree is up ba?. The fruit never really falls far from the tree.

  95. He is totally right!. iam in support of it. people mix things up a lot. if the marriage produced children then it is no longer just you & your spouse. It’s now three parties involved. just because the child can’t voice his/her opinion doesn’t make him/her less important. Self centered people just make decision without thinking about other parties involved. it is called a FAMILY not you yourself alone. Even when people change… you wait till the children get a say in the matter. So everyone knows why things are the way they are!

  96. I absolutely agree with him
