Following the alleged divorce of veteran gospel singer Paul Nwokocha, a comment stated: “Maybe he’s from Imo State,” implying that men from Imo State are known for divorcing their wives.
This is a harmful stereotype that unfairly labels an entire group based on isolated cases. Divorce is a personal decision influenced by various factors, not a product of one’s state of origin. Such generalizations promote division and reinforce negative biases. Instead of making baseless assumptions, discussions should focus on the real issues surrounding marriage and personal responsibility.
