A Marriage Counsellor, Mrs Adeyemi Omoseye, has attributed the high rate of divorce in Nigeria to imitating the western culture through the social media.
Omoseye said this in Ilorin on Tuesday while speaking in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN).
She said couples in Nigeria were used to forming their lives after the western culture.
“In a country like Nigeria, no matter how well we think or repackage it, divorce is still unacceptable and to some people it is shame.

“The rate of divorce in the country is increasing, especially with domestic violence is also on the rise.
“Often, it is the issue of money and expecting too much from each other that causes problems between couples.
“Couples can be over demanding, expecting too much, which indirectly puts pressure on their relationship.
“People now have access to social media where they see couples in the west live a life of fantasy, posting pictures of bliss.
