Nollywood Actor Kalu Ikeagwu on Escaping Domestic Violence: “God Kept Me Strong”

Nollywood actor Kalu Ikeagwu has shocked fans by revealing that he was once a victim of domestic violence while stuck in a toxic relationship.

In an emotional interview, the actor opened up about the dark chapter in his life.

He said that like many young people, he ignored red flags and found himself trapped in a harmful relationship.

He added that he has since learnt never to assume that someone will change.

Kalu credited his survival to his faith. He said that it was the fear of God that helped him stay calm and in control during violent episodes.

Thankfully, he managed to escape the situation and says he is better for it today.

The actor advised people to seek partners who truly fear God and to avoid hypocrisy by being the kind of person they also want in a partner.

He warned that people from dysfunctional families often carry the same issues into relationships, making background checks important.

Talking about the rise in toxic relationships in Nigeria, Kalu said that the media might talk about it, but unless the root causes are addressed and laws are properly enforced, the problem will continue.
