Omakwu questioned why some men expect their wives to remain faithful while they maintain relationships with other women outside marriage.
She described the attitude as a double standard, arguing that a husband who cannot accept his wife having another man should not expect to have another woman himself.
She further observed that men may find it more difficult to forgive their wives for infidelity, whereas women are often more willing to forgive unfaithful husbands.
According to the reports, Omakwu said: “You know men cannot stand adultery. It is easier for a woman to forgive a man. A man will never forgive a woman.”
She challenged men who engage in extramarital relationships to consider whether they would accept similar behaviour from their wives.
“What is good for the goose is good for the gander. If a woman cannot follow a man, you can’t follow a woman,” she said.
Omakwu also emphasised that marriage involves deliberately choosing one person and committing to that individual despite challenges that may arise.
She explained that choosing a spouse means deciding to remain together through difficult circumstances, rather than pursuing other relationships when problems emerge.
“When you decide to choose one person to marry, it means I have looked at all the men in the world and all the women and I decided you are the one. So come rain, come shine, we are together,” she added.
The remarks have drawn attention to questions of marital fidelity, forgiveness and unequal expectations placed on husbands and wives.
The comments were reported by several Nigerian online news platforms, including The Gazette, VerseNews and NGN.com.ng. The reports attribute the remarks to a video shared on Omakwu's social media page.https://www.facebook.com/share/1cdPDwAgjS/
