Comedian, Bovi Ugboma has proposed that marriages come with a renewable five-year expiration date.
He said this would help keep spouses on their toes and eliminate many of the challenges besetting marital unions.
The comedian stated this as a guest on the Dear Ife Series podcast, a snippet video of which is making the rounds on X.
He said, “Expiry is a very powerful word but I think every marriage should be renewed, for example, every five years.
“Within the two families, (there should be a conversation like), ‘Do you still want to marry? Come and take what has been happening’, especially in Africa where we are very communal.

“When your spouse knows there is a review coming one year from now, he’ll adjust.”
According to him, such conversation would trigger a probe into each spouse’s actions and decisions that could be negatively affecting the union.
Earlier this month, Bovi said he supports divorce in situations where marriages become unhealthy, arguing that ending a troubled union is often better than remaining in a relationship that leaves either partner unhappy.
“I celebrate when people get divorced because I feel it means one or both people were not breathing well in the marriage. I will not suffer anybody, nor will I want anybody to suffer me,” he said on The Morayo Show.
