If I talk now, una go say Ijele, you dey worry.” She drew a vivid analogy, stating, “Goat and yam no dey stay together, simple,” to emphasize her belief in strict boundaries for marital relationships.
Edochie didn’t stop there. She questioned why some men allow their exes to visit their matrimonial homes or spend time alone with them, noting how this often leaves their wives in emotional and mental turmoil. “Imagine your ex visiting your matrimonial home to cook for you as a married man.
