"I quit my marriage because of domestic violence" Moji Olaiya opens up

Actress Moji Olaiya says she quit her marriage because her husband was physically abusive. She opened in an interview published on Vanguard today. Excerpts below...
"I have no regret leaving my marriage but I regret not being under a man’s roof. It is not respectable in this part of the world. But I try to comport myself even as a divorced woman and as a typical Yoruba woman and to avoid scandal. I have a daughter to protect and cater for.
What was the cause of your failed marriage?
The marriage was not working so I had to quit. My partner went as far as abusing me so I had to leave to protect myself and my daughter.
You mean domestic violence?
Yes, domestic violence is just the right word.

Any man in the picture at present?
I am in a relationship but I am yet to be legally separated from my husband

      You are on point. They always always blame the man on domestic violence, when it's so obvious that no man can tolerate their dirty behaviors. Ashewo oniranu osi.

    I really applaud for taking the bold step to leave your husband due to DV. You made the right decision for you and your daughter anybody that condemns you will not understand the effect DV has on women lives and children. So my dear, keep your head high because it takes great courage for a woman to leave her husband mostly in our country without being chastised for doing so. So keep trying your best and stay positive always know that the safety of you and your daughter is top priority
