The Nation Newspaper My first wife divorced me for being 'insensitive' - Stanley Okorie
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Okorie shared candid insights into his two failed marriages, acknowledging his own shortcomings.
“I wasn’t a caring husband. Sometimes, if my wife did her hair, I’d say, ‘I’m going to the studio, come ooo.’ No, that’s not nice. I wouldn’t remember her birthday because there was a time I was doing all the job , and people would call me from London, pay for my ticket, and I would go and do the music.
“Economists call it opportunity cost. In my first marriage, I was very, very insensitive. If I had been more mature—of course, I married very young—I wondered why she wasn’t seeing all the work I was doing. I failed on that score. “After that, I went through a second divorce. At some point, my wife died. My son died. Some of the songs I sing were my escape from my sad reality, and they helped me deal with it to some level. But I tell you, there’s no method of dealing with a problem better than confronting the problem. So music wasn’t fair to me on that score.
