Ngozi Nwosu canceled her wedding one day before the ceremony after her partner attacked her repeatedly. The Nollywood veteran described how the man pulled her hair with such force that she bled, prompting her decision to abandon the relationship despite family pressure.
She warned women against tolerating domestic violence. The actress remembered her partner smashing through a kitchen door while she heated water, then dragging her by the hair as neighbors witnessed the assault.
Nwosu said she grabbed a pestle to protect herself and felt prepared to face the consequences of imprisonment. She refused to sign the marriage documents when relatives urged her to continue with the plans.
The performer advised against forgiving abusers who apologize after attacks. Violence repeats itself once accepted, and marriage does not require enduring physical harm, Nwosu said.
