Ossai Ovie Success, the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, has voiced concerns over the prevalence of infidelity among Nigerian married women residing overseas. In a candid revelation, Success disclosed that during his travels abroad, he was approached by a Nigerian married woman who propositioned him for an extramarital affair, highlighting a broader trend of infidelity among Nigerian women living abroad.
According to Success, his encounter with the married woman prompted him to inquire further among his friends who had been living abroad for over 15 years. They confirmed his suspicions, revealing that infidelity among married women is not viewed as taboo in foreign countries, contrasting with the cultural and religious norms prevalent in Nigeria.
The Senior Special Assistant cautioned husbands with wives residing abroad to remain vigilant, particularly in light of the perception among some married women that cultural or religious constraints that discourage infidelity in Nigeria no longer apply overseas. Success emphasized the universality of the principle that cheating is detrimental to relationships, regardless of geographical location.
Success’s remarks have sparked discussions about the challenges faced by couples in transnational relationships and the cultural differences influencing attitudes towards infidelity.
