‘99% Of Nigerian Men Will Cheat,’ Says Actress Bimbo Akintola

Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola sparked controversy by stating that "99% of Nigerian men will cheat," during a podcast conversation with fellow actress Ayo Adesanya. Akintola argued that infidelity is a cultural norm deeply rooted in Nigeria's polygamous society, where cheating is seen as a generational practice.

She shared personal experiences, mentioning that her father and grandfather were both involved in polygamous relationships. Akintola emphasized that the idea of fidelity is not common in Africa, with the majority of men cheating.

She suggested that women should be pragmatic in relationships and not expect flawless fidelity. The actress also pointed out the reality of facing infidelity, referencing Jay Z and Beyoncé as examples.

Akintola's comments come after she opened up about her childless, single status at the age of 52 in a recent interview.
