Nigerian media personality Nedu has tendered an apology to Nigerians for his recent comment about the institution of marriage.
It was earlier reported that Nedu took to social media to say that ‘marriage is dead’ and that women have now turned it into a poverty alleviation scheme.
He said this in response to the recent discourse about footballer Achraf Hakimi’s wife, who allegedly demanded half of his fortune after filing for divorce, only to learn that he owned nothing because all of his properties are in his mother’s name.

His statement angered many of his followers, who dragged him for saying marriage is ‘dead’.
Reacting to this backlash, Nedu has now publicly apologized to those offended by his statement. He also explained that his words were misunderstood and he didn’t mean it literally.
He wrote on his Instastory:
“Sincere apologies to those hurt by my Hakimi video.. It’s totally taken out of context. Regardless I apologize. Na una dey pay me salary so whatever doesn’t sit well with y’all won’t be entertained by me. God bless una.
