Women are prone to things that could provoke a man to raise his hands on them – Yemi Blaq talks domestic violence
Women are
prone to things that could provoke a man to raise his hands on them – Yemi Blaq
Nollywood
actor, Yemi Blaq, has waded into the issue of domestic violence that has destroyed
the homes and happiness of many Nigerian thespians.
Giving
advice to actresses who find themselves in such unpleasant situation, Blaq said
the only solution is for the victim is to take a walk. He said;
“Domestic
violence can be identified early. Once you see that a man possesses that trait,
just take a walk. Don’t bear it or try to change him, it might get worse.
“Well,
people would ask ‘what if the actresses are the ones instigating the violence?’
Yes, we all know women are prone to such things that could provoke a man to
raise his hands on them. Most times, it’s not easy to swallow but that’s not an
excuse at all. A man should always be a man and know where to draw the line. Be
responsible and take a walk from that situation too.”
When Blaq
was reminded of the widely-held impression that Nigerian actresses are prone to
infidelity, the soft-spoken movie star disagreed with such assumption.
“I don’t
know a group of people called celebrities. But I know that as an individual,
one can be prone to all sorts of things. I think being in front of the camera,
be it as a singer or actor exposes you to all sorts of things. You know what I
mean? But it all depends on what you want for your life and how you want it to
go.
“As an
actor, I have found myself in some compromising situations, but it’s not
necessarily about me being an actor. Every other person or persons can as well
find him or herself in such a dilemma too, the main issue is how you deal with
it afterwards; how you handle the situation and walk away.
“For me, I
always act differently in all of such situations, because they are not alike. I
majorly put on my trainers and walk away as fast as I can.”
On how he
deals with some excessively stubborn fans that wouldn’t let him be at public
places, the actor maintained that he is always equal to the task.
“At some
point, stubbornness is a good trait in human beings and I am also a stubborn
person, so I know how to handle those kind of female fans when they come my
way,” he stated.
