Relocating Overseas Is Not For Every Marriage - Media Personality, Daddy Freeze Tells Couples

Daddy Freeze, the popular Nigerian media personality has sparked a debate with his recent comments on the effects of relocating abroad on marriages, highlighting the challenges faced by couples in such situations.

In a discussion, Freeze remarked, “Abroad is not for every marriage.”

He expressed concerns about how living abroad can change the dynamics of a marriage, particularly for women.

Freeze pointed out that living abroad can make women feel empowered and independent, potentially leading them to believe they can live without a man.

“Abroad gives women the illusion, it gives them the strength to believe that they can survive without a man, so the women don’t need you abroad,” he noted.

He also emphasised that while relocating may benefit some marriages, it can also lead to the destruction of others.

According to Freeze, financial implications play a significant role in keeping marriages intact in Nigeria.

“One of the reasons why a woman won’t leave you is because she knows the financial implications of leaving you but abroad there are no financial implications.”

He highlighted that in foreign countries, women can access support from the government for their children, making it easier for them to consider leaving a marriage.

The media personality acknowledged that while many people appreciate the dynamics of an ‘abroad marriage,’ it is not suitable for everyone.

He shared his doubts about his ability to survive raising kids or being married abroad, citing the high level of stress involved. “I’m not sure I can survive raising kids or being married abroad, the stress is a lot.”
