Achraf Hakimi: "A teenager is his mother's son" - Mary Njoku reacts to footballer's divorce saga

Mary Njoku, a Nollywood actress, has shared her thoughts on the Hakimi divorce scandal, where the Moroccan footballer allegedly transferred all his assets to his mother’s name.

According to the actress, mothers, especially African mothers, are unlikely to completely stop caring for their teenage sons, even if they get married.

Njoku also commented that many of the contracts signed by Hakimi were done when he was underage, making it understandable that his assets were in his mother’s name. She stated that it might not be a deliberate attempt to defraud Abouk, and there may have been a legal or cultural reasons behind it.

How do you marry a teenager?

The Nollywood star also expressed the opinion that Hiba Abouk should focus on making more money for herself instead of trying to recover her ex-husband’s assets. She believes that going after his wealth is not the best solution to her problems.

According to Njoku, it is unreasonable to expect a teenager, particularly an African teenager, to be independent of their parents.

She believes that this is a cultural norm in Africa, and parents are expected to continue to support their children, even after they have left home.

Reactions: He was 19 then for Gods sake

Some netizens supported her position while some felt she was wrong, here are a few:

@3khouse_abuja: Am sure this contributed to there separation .cause he ask his mother to pay for things for him

@okongwuokwuma: The woman didn’t come for marriage,she has another thing in mind and she is a hurry and end up loosing everything.

@austin_bren: Most people never looked at it from that perspective,he was 19 then for Gods sake!

@ucheejombo: Then you shouldn’t allow him get married since he is still being raised by his parents.

@jacintaufuomagold: Finally.. Someone who shares my thought. If I had a teenage son who come into money early, I will definitely help guide him and manage his finances to protect him from himself. Let’s not even go into predators. Such wealth can easily lead a young man/woman to their destruction if they are not properly managed.
