VIDEO: I Celebrate When People Get Divorced – Bovi Reveals

According to a report by PM News Nigeria on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, Bovi Ugboma, a stand-up comedian from Nigeria, has made waves by admitting that he “celebrates” upon hearing the news of a divorce.

He clarifies that his reaction is driven by concern for the mental health of people involved, not approval of the breakup of the marriage.

The comedian spoke up about his thoughts on marriage, long-term relationships, and the hidden struggles that many couples endure during an appearance on The Morayo Show.

He argues that divorce isn’t necessarily a tragic event; in some cases, it’s a relief for one or both spouses who have been through a lot in the marriage.

He went on to say that as soon as he hears of a divorce, his first thought is that the couple may have been “breathing better” after splitting up.

Since he thinks no one deserves to be stuck in a harmful relationship, he attributes his reaction to the need to let go emotionally.

“I celebrate when people get divorced because I feel it means one or both people were not breathing well in the marriage,” he said during the interview.

Furthermore, he emphasised that his viewpoint is influenced by the idea that partnerships should be characterised by emotional freedom and mutual respect, and that no one should be compelled to suffer because of external pressures or expectations.

The comedian went on to say that his remarks were not meant to be taken as a rejection of marriage. He insisted that they show his choice for openness and mental wellness over the passive acceptance of marital problems.

He pointed out that many couples have serious problems in their marriages and that remaining together isn’t necessarily the best choice for everyone involved.

Taking stock of his own life, he admitted that marriage isn’t always peachy, spilling the beans that he’s been married for 17 years and has had his share of challenges.

The long-term commitments required to maintain a home and family life over many years were, however, something he stressed in his own partnership.

The age of 29 was when I tied the knot. To keep a long-term union going, one must be consistent and put in a lot of work; he had been contributing constantly for 17 years.
