Media personality, Blessed Godsbrain Smart popularly known as Captain Smart has advised men not to allow marriage to stress them. He suggests that men should not endure bad marriages but instead leave when things go south. According to him, the African man is coached to give telenovela love, which is far from reality.
Speaking in a discussion on TV3’s Ladies Circle on the topic: Men’s physical health, Captain Smart stated that no man should seek advice from outsiders, including their wives, on how to maintain their marriage and address their needs.
“Men should not allow marriage to stress them. If it’s not good for you, quit! The African man is being dogmatized to believe these things. So, we’re being poached and coached to give out telenovela love at home. I am not for that.
“I am a typical African man. I am not talking about romance; I can be caring, I am loving, I’ll help you do what I think I need to help you do. You don’t dictate to me what I should help you do,” he said.
He added, “Nobody should even try to dictate to me how to live with my woman. I sleep with her, we live in the same house, so I know her far better than even the father that gave birth to her.”
He believes a husband knows his wife’s needs and how best to treat them, adding that listening to society to manage homes is “some of the things that are killing the young married men in town, but they don’t know.”
