In Nigeria, there is a lot of respect for culture and tradition. The institution of marriage is very much respected.
Will the idea of open marriage be celebrated or criticized in a country like Nigeria?
For those wondering what an open marriage is, let's look at the Wikipedia definition "Open Marriage is a form of non-monogamy in which the parties of a dyadic marriage agree that each may engage in extramarital sexual relationships, without being regarded by them as infidelity, and consider or establish an open relationship despite the implied monogamy of marriage."
Forget the big language, what they are saying is that an Open Marriage is a marriage where there is an agreement to have affairs outside of the marriage.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett are said to be practicing open marriage. Of recent, the issue of Open Marriage became a subject of discussion in Nigeria when Cynthia Obi-Uchendu, wife of Ebuka Uchendu- the popular media personality, tweeted that:
"I've always said that there is absolutely nothing wrong with having an open marriage."
These caused a lot of controversy among Nigerians and the popular Instablog also put it up on its Instagram page and it got a lot of exciting comments.
Trust Nigerians not to disappoint with their comments:
Nigerians have talked their talk. What is your own opinion on Open Marriage?
