Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has sparked reactions with her marital advice on how to deal with one’s in-laws.
In a recent interview with Morayo Afolabi Brown of TVC, she said if one’s spouse’s family doesn’t like them, they should try everything possible to make it work.
Omotola noted that some parents are hell-bent on disliking one person, regardless of what they do, because of prejudice. She admonished those with such in-laws to walk out, as it isn’t worth it. Omotola noted how marriage is already hard, and starting without love and support only makes the journey tougher.
“I will advise that if the families of the spouse don’t like you, try everything you possibly can to make them understand you. But there are some parents that are hell-bent on not liking you regardless of what you do, they already have a prejudice”.
