Hundreds of marriages collapse each month in the northern city of Kano.
A couple who live in Nigeria’s “divorce capital” are being hailed for their long marriage having recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
"In all my marriages I have only spent four years with a spouse - so to see them on social media celebrating this milestone was refreshing,” she said. Hundreds of marriages collapse each month in Nigeria’s most populous state, whose capital, Kano city, is the commercial hub of the north. Aminu Daurawa works for the Hisbah to address the high divorce rate. One of their solutions is to offer a second chance to people and better prepare them for married life.
She was the one who felt they would be a good match - but they did not tie the knot for another 12 years, giving them ample time to get to know one another.One man with a reputation for making successful matches says that is key. “A lot of people go into marriages with the wrong mindset, which is why they get disappointed after some time.”
