Sandra Iheuwa, a businesswoman, recently revealed the reasons for her divorce from ex-husband Mr. Thompson, also known as Royal Hair.
She revealed on the Honest Bunch podcast with Nedu Wazobia that the marriage ended because Thompson expected her to be a traditional, domesticated wife.
She recalled an incident during her high-risk pregnancy when he insisted on her cooking, which she found extremely unfair.
Iheuwa also talked about the difficulties of dating Nigerian men. She stressed the importance of finding a kind man because many men expect their wives to suffer and endure hardships in order to be considered a ‘good wife.’ Iheuwa, on the other hand, made it clear that she could not live up to these expectations.
She went on to say that Thompson, despite having a paid chef, wanted her to cook. He recommended that she at the very least supervise the chef in the kitchen. He also chastised her for not cleaning up after herself, despite having a maid. Iheuwa, as a CEO and successful businesswoman, thought these demands were unreasonable.
In response to misconceptions about her personality, Iheuwa stated that she is not a troublemaker by nature, but she will defend herself if necessary.
During the interview, she revealed her efforts to meet her husband’s expectations by cooking and cleaning, only to be confronted with pretence accusations.
She also clarified that her child’s father, Ubi Franklin, was never her husband but rather a boyfriend.
”Telling a heavily pregnant woman with high risk to cook when she should be resting is the height of wick*dness. One thing I have learned about dating a Nigerian man is making sure he is a kind man because some of these men want to suffer you and expect you to endure so you will answer good wife. It can never be me.”
