“How do you marry a teenager and expect him to be free of his parents” — Mary Njoku speaks on Achraf Hakimi’s divorce scandal
Nollywood actress, Mary Njoku has spoken out regarding the scandal surrounding the divorce of Moroccan footballer, Achraf Hakimi.
According to the actress, it is unlikely that any mother, particularly an African mother, would completely let go of her teenage son, regardless of whether he is married or not.
Njoku went on to suggest that many of the contracts signed by Hakimi were likely signed when he was underage, and therefore, putting his assets in his mother’s name was not intentional.
Instead of attempting to recover her husband’s assets, Njoku believes that Hiba Abouk should have focused on making more money for herself.
Njoku also expressed the opinion that it is unreasonable to expect a teenager, particularly an African teenager, to be independent of their parents.
“How Do You Marry A Teenager And Expect Him To Be Independent Of His Parents? An African Teenager. There’s No Sane African Mum Who Will Let Go Completely Of Her Teenage Child. Pikin Wey Suppose Dey Do A level. Abi Because Na Star? Most Of The Contracts Were Probably Signed When He Was Under Aged. So It Wasn’t International.
“Every successful teenage athlete, there is a Mum, Dad, Guardian who believed in them more than they believed in themselves. A parent who put in EVERYTHING. Money, time, prayers, emotional and physiological support. tears, scolding. Someone who sacrificed the most they had just to make sure their CHILD stood out. A teenager BOY is his mother’s son. A MAN is his wife’s husband. She for wait small make he mature Or better still, made her own money.” She wrote.
