"Keep your marriage out of social media' - Betty Irabor advises

I totally agree with her. I'm sure marriage is hard enough but bringing it on social media will probably make it harder - when people start to share unwanted opinion. See more tweets after the cut

    2. Sorry,not all men cheat,everybody is likely to cheat, not all men alone, it takes a disciplined man /woman that respects his/her body hun? So cos ur dad cheated on ur mum doesn't mean everyone is not disciplined.

  21. When your business is everywhere, the 'other men and women' know you there's trouble, everybody can now use you as case study, how about just keeping that man or woman happy at home no matter the challenges, settle them at home. Olaniyi

  24. So true, thinks that make they bring up happens a lot in other people life's , to me the celebrity's are cause of their problems, they use their marriage for publicity stunt forgetting that a real thing in their life's. They are somethings that even ur parents are not supposed to know but now they make it public tru social media n the media's are not helping matters.

  27. More hysteria and paranoia on what kills a Nigerian marriage. Being publicly nice to a spouse isn't what derails a relationship. It's how you mistreat each other behind closed doors that does.

  35. It is only FOOLS that broadcast their marriage activities on SM. People like Toke. Even if your husband cheat on you, must the world know? Handle your business privately. The public r there just to RIDICULE you and not to render any HELP

  36. Engaging a 3rd party in a relationship is not advisable.... Even if there's a problem btw husband and wife... They should settle it amicably within their selfs... #gbam www.spicyjoevibes.com

  38. I don't think marriages crash because you expose it on social media. Let's stop looking for more external forces to blame. If it does, very rarely. Yes, you may feel your relationship is lacking when you start to compare it to the 'glossy' images couples post on social media. But it's everyone's prerogative to do as they wish on social media. When marriages fall apart, it wasn't because it was on social media, it is just that having it on social media let's everyone know your situation and so you may feel worse after it crashes bcos you were putting up all these perfect appearances which is now no more, so social media may enhance the feeling of shame when a marriage crashes but it is NOT 'the' reason why relationships fail.

    I'm sure a lot of you here saying well said well said will like to post some pics of you and your significant other on social media but is that paranoia and fear of humiliation when if it ends that stops you. If people can post other good news on social media (or in Linda's case she can post her multi million naira purchases.... Rightfully so because she earned it) and you are not scared, why can't you most the man/woman that gives you the greatest joy (if they really do). It's all part of your life. But of course there is a line to be drawn. Don't share advice when there is fire in your home or don't come and be posting private messages but you are free to declare your love however you wish. #imdone

  42. @MEETDREALEVANS® Betty Irabo has been married for 31 years and counting, so don't call her ''Another Toke'' cause she ain't. She is experienced and has the right to give such advice. before commenting at times, you should have done a proper research about who she is and her family background. I don't blame you, young people of these days don't read or do proper research and as such tend to comment ignorantly and blindly on social media sites.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Gbam!!! But because of the fake lives people live these days, they have to put up pictures to show "haters" that they are on the trend bus!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Of course she's right. When you bring your marriages on social media, it seems as if the clock starts ticking and the timing for your marital woes is set. Its as if olofofos are patiently waiting while sniffing around for troubles to leak to bloggers. Then, a little issue gets blown out of proportion and everybody starts advising the woman to leave. To save face, she acts rashly to salvage her dignity and when it backfires, they'll start crying wolf. Na u do urself
