Nigerian on-air personality, broadcast journalist and comic actor, Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, better known as Nedu has tendered an unreserved apology to women, following his comments on Achraf Hakimi‘s divorce saga.
Nedu after the news of the Moroccan international divorce broke out, took to his Instagram page to share a video where he asserted that women now see marriage as a poverty alleviation scheme.
The Radio presenter also insisted that love is dead and the marriage institution is now all about money.
He wrote: “I don’t know if you people have seen that video or the pictures or the message of that PSG footballer called Hakimi who claimed to be 24-year-old and his wife is asking for a divorce. And demand 50 per cent of his property.
“You see that marriage is dead? In fact, if people believed anything in marriage before, with what’s happening in marriage in the whole world, people wouldn’t want to get married anymore. Most women, many of you, make some people not be interested in marriage because you have turned the thing into a poverty alleviation scheme.”

However, after facing a barrage of criticism on social media over his remarks on women, Nedu, once again returned to his Instagram story on Sunday, to tender a public apology to everyone affected.
In the now-viral post, he acknowledged that since his salary comes from his fans, he does not have an option and would rather concur with whatever they say.
”Sincere apologies to those hurt by my Hakimi video. It’s totally taken out of context. Regardless, I sincerely apologize. It’s you guys that’s paying my salary, so whatever doesn’t sit well with you all won’t be entertained by me. God bless you all. Love and light.” Nedu wrote.
