Popular Nigerian comedian Bovi has stirred fresh debate after revealing what he believes could make marriages healthier and more honest.

Speaking during a recent episode of the Dear Ife Series podcast, the entertainer suggested that every marriage should come with a five-year expiration date, after which couples can decide whether to renew their commitment or go their separate ways.

The comedian, who recently also made a controversial comment about divorce, argued that such an arrangement would encourage partners to put more effort into their relationships instead of becoming complacent over time.

According to the comedian, if a husband is no longer fulfilled after five years, he should be free to end the relationship without unnecessary complications.

He stated:

"Every marriage should have a five-year expiry date. If the man isn't happy, he should be free to leave. When there's just one year left on the contract, you'll see a lot of women adjusting their character."

"The deception in this statement is appalling. Everybody is not the same. If you want contract state it from the get go, don’t act forever love and come back in 2years for contractual agreement for 3years. That’s deceptive and evil. Everybody just say trash online."

"Once they put the cheat and loose half your property clause, both parties will definitely adjust their characters… besides why get married though?"

"This is the most myopic saying cos marriage is made of two individuals that came together to become one, he’s making it like marriage is about the man alone and only men deserve happiness in it, the woman’s happiness is also important and if she can’t get she can leave."

@badnis178092 noted:

"The funniest part is men always imagine women are the only ones who'd start acting different when the clock is ticking Some of the biggest performers you'll ever meet are men trying not to lose access to comfort."
