"Men Contribute 95% To Failed Marriages” - Uche Ogbodo Sparks Debate by reportnaija(op): 4:19pm On Feb 10
Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has stirred widespread conversation on social media after making a bold claim about the causes of marital breakdowns.

In a post shared via her Instagram page, the actress asserted that men are responsible for as much as 95 per cent of failed marriages. According to Ogbodo, many unions collapse due to what she described as recurring negative behaviours by men, including neglect, infidelity, lack of accountability, emotional abuse and devaluation of their partners.

She further argued that societal norms often enable such conduct, making it easier for men to evade responsibility within marriages while women bear the emotional and psychological consequences.

“Many marriages fail because a significant number of men neglect, cheat, devalue, emotionally harm or betray their wives,” the actress stated, adding that the absence of accountability in relationships remains a major issue.

The statement, which has since gone viral, has generated mixed reactions online. While some social media users agreed with her perspective, citing personal experiences and cultural realities, others faulted the generalisation, insisting that marriage failures are usually the result of actions from both partners.

As expected, the post has reignited conversations around gender roles, responsibility, accountability and emotional health within marriages, with opinions sharply divided across social media platforms.

Maybe they should stop taking for granted men who live the opposite life she described.

Where did she get the data from?

That been said, for any marriage and relationship to work out, it’s the responsibility of both parties, relationship can’t be one sided efforts.

Lies. People are not actually paying attention to the cause of most of the marriage failure lately

The mentally of I am a lady, woman, it's not my responsibility to contribute financially to support the family is one of the cause of marriage failure lately.

The man you are expecting to be providing financial responsibility all the time might not even get bored all the time, but you see that once in a while, it cause rethink.

You are not disabled, you are probably educated, working yet you don't want to contribute financially to make the marriage, family work.

When you see most men that come house late at night always, apart from work excuse, those are the people not having good time at home. They have lost interest in talking. They just want to get home late and sleep

And what qualifications does she possess to make such a general assumption?

Give her a simple arithmetic test on percentage and watch how she fails like a bad brake but here she is talking about 95%
Re: "Men Contribute 95% To Failed Marriages” - Uche Ogbodo Sparks Debate by emkz: 7:15am On Feb 11
I don't agree.

The biggest issue I see in marriages are:

1. Lack of communication
2. Emotional detachment
3. Lack of friendship
4. Financial irresponsibility
5. Wrong association
6. Secrets
7. Immaturity.

A question many should answer: why exactly do you want to get married? Is it because others are getting married? Is it because of abundance of intimacy? Is it because of economic pressures? Is it because of needing a house maid? Forget about the reasons others have given. What is your own reason?

Exactly 💯
When they start complaining, na divorce dey load. They are never accountable to anything.
They never agree to what they contributed
They Lie a lot, yet complain about men.
In fact, Lying is cultural to them

shocked


Biggest lie ever..
I will say the truth the way it is. On this matter, women are the ones being responsible for most failed marriages. The way women act inside marriage, exuding highest level of wickedness is alarming. Majority did things you can't even imagine. Let's not talk about their behaviours towards the husband's relatives or their evil towards house helps or step children...men tolerate a lot in marriage I swear to God and condone their wives excessive.

Ask them what makes you end your marriage with your husband, majority of them will say one thing, that the husband cheat, but the truth of the matter is that married women even cheat more than married men. The reason men own blows alarm is that they did theirs nonchalantly.

Blaming Men for 95% of broken marriages or relationships is an oversimplification and not backed by evidence. Every relationship is different. Some failures are heavily one-sided, but most involve patterns between both people.
Her conclusion may reflect frustration, and personal experience which is bias.

Marriage and enduring relationship is between two consenting and matured adults who are expected to be responsible for the relationship or marriage, products of the marriage, success or failure of the marriage.

The moment one party starts deflecting and blaming the other for failure or challenges in the marriage. That is someone being irresponsible and perhaps guilty of unconscious or conscious destruction of the relationship or marriage.
Re: "Men Contribute 95% To Failed Marriages” - Uche Ogbodo Sparks Debate by brain54(m): 7:30am On Feb 11
Technically she is blaming women for choosing the wrong partners...

If men cause 95% of failed marriages then women must be choosing, tolerating and staying with destructive partners!

When he come to following western culture for trend many will oblige but when it comes to stats and analyst, they will decline.

If she was modern she will go will.modern stat and data that show majority of divorce ate instigated by women.
Re: "Men Contribute 95% To Failed Marriages” - Uche Ogbodo Sparks Debate by Host78: 7:31am On Feb 11
The available data says you're lying though.

Lesbian marriage which involves two women have a higher failure rate than heterosexual marriage which involves a man and a woman.

These lesbian marriages also suffers more domestic violence compared to man/woman marriages.

Gay marriage involve man/man has the lowest divorce rate and domestic violence.

Each time you introduce women to the equation of marriage, divorce rate spikes.

But yes, let's blame men undecided

From my experience n what she is saying, her opinion might be true cos it's the man dat makes the day in ye marriage.
If you marry a woman you always look down at or cheat on, then kiss that marriage goodbye from day one cos it won't work.
