Dakore Akande Urges Women to Choose Peace Over Ego in Relationships

Respected Nollywood actress and wellness advocate, Dakore Akande, is sharing heartfelt wisdom on marriage and her words are resonating deeply with women across the continent. In a thoughtful message, the actress emphasized that marriage is not about chasing perfection or always being right, but about cultivating understanding, patience, and emotional maturity in a relationship. “Marriage is not about being perfect. It’s about understanding each other, growing together, and finding peace in the little things,” Dakore said. She went on to challenge a common dynamic that often causes tension in relationships: the subtle competition for control or superiority between partners. Speaking directly to women, Dakore offered insight into how communication can either build or break a home. “I’ve learned that when a woman tries to act like she knows everything especially in front of her man it can make him feel small. It can make him feel like his voice doesn’t matter. That’s how distance starts.” Her message calls for intentional gentleness and wisdom in speech, particularly during disagreements. “Even when we know the right thing, how we say it matters more. You don’t always need to win the argument or prove your point. Speak with calm. Speak with wisdom. Speak with love. Use soft words and let your heart lead.” Dakore’s perspective, shaped by her years of experience in both marriage and public life, underscores the power of respect and empathy in sustaining long-term commitment. “Let your husband feel heard. Let him feel respected. You don’t need to agree on everything. Just walk together in peace.” In a world where marriage is often glamorized or oversimplified, Dakore’s reminder cuts through the noise with refreshing clarity: "Marriage is not a battlefield. It’s a partnership. One heart, two souls, building one home." Fans and fellow women have praised her for using her platform to spread messages of love, balance, and emotional intelligence especially in an era where social media often promotes quick fixes and shallow ideals. Dakore's voice stands as a beacon of modern wisdom rooted in timeless values a gentle call for women and men alike to build marriages that heal, rather than harm; that unite, rather than divide.

Veekee James Faces Backlash Over Marital Advice to Sister in Law

Popular Nigerian fashion designer and influencer, Veekee James, has found herself at the center of heated online debate following comments she made regarding marital intimacy specifically advice she gave to her sister-in-law. The remarks, which surfaced in a recent video clip, have drawn criticism from some social media users who believe her views were overly simplistic and potentially harmful, especially given her large platform and influence among young Christian women. One critic wrote, “Veekee James is a pick-me. Women like her are the reason Christian men get away with abuse. She speaks with no experience and spreads toxic marital expectations.” The user, who did not hold back, accused Veekee of misrepresenting Christian values and encouraging submission in ways that may overlook deeper issues like emotional neglect or abuse in marriages. The critic also voiced concern about the enthusiastic tone Veekee used when giving her advice, calling it “immature” and “irresponsible.” While many followers have come to Veekee’s defense, praising her for sharing her beliefs and promoting marital intimacy within Christian values, others argue that her messaging lacks nuance and could mislead women who are in more complex or difficult relationships. So far, Veekee James has not publicly responded to the criticism. The incident highlights the broader conversation around public figures giving relationship advice, especially when faith, gender roles, and cultural expectations are involved. As social media continues to amplify voices on all sides, the need for balanced, informed dialogue remains more important than ever.
