TV Addiction: Abuja Doctor To Divorce Wife Over Addiction To Telemundo

A Pediatrician based in Abuja, Mr Chibuzor Eze has threatened to divorce his wife of so many years for her addiction to popular foreign soap operas, Telemundo and Zeeworld.

He said, “I will divorce my wife if she doesn’t stop with this Zeeworld and Telemundo obsession.

“I told her last week that I was fed up with how her obsession with these channels was making her to neglect her duty as a wife and mother.

Yet she keeps watching these shows when she’s supposed to be partaking in more important things like taking care of the children and cooking reasonable food for us.”

Eze, who works with a government hospital, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Thursday that he had already informed his wife, Dorothy that her obsession to the soaps was interfering with her marital life.

The pediatrician said he had to buy food from restaurants some times, as his wife had either forgotten to get what the family would eat ready or burnt the food she was preparing because of Telemundo.

“Tell me, is this not enough to sue for divorce. As a doctor, I have a very hectic job and should come home to eat something and relax.

I have purchased foods from restaurants four times in the last week, because I came home to an empty pot or burnt food and this is unacceptable.” he insisted.

He continued, “This is after I talked and complained to her about the effect Zee world and Telemundo are having on her.

On Tuesday, she forgot to pick our 10-year-old daughter from school because she was watching her shows.

“If these careless acts continue, I will be forced to leave her, because I won’t appreciate coming home to a burnt down house one day .’’
