Nollywood actress Anita Joseph has ignited a fiery conversation online after directly questioning married men about their apparent reluctance to wear wedding rings. The actress, who finalized her divorce from MC Fish in December 2025, took to her Instagram platform to pose the thought-provoking query.
A Candid Question Sparks Debate
In her recent post, Anita Joseph asked a simple yet loaded question aimed at married men. "But men, why una no Dey wear una wedding tings?" she wrote in a mix of English and Nigerian Pidgin. She further hinted that this would not be her last word on the subject of marriage, promising that "This Year una go hear quotes Tire oh." This public musing comes just weeks after she openly discussed the painful end of her own five-year marriage.
Reflecting on a Painful Journey
The year 2025 was a tumultuous one for the actress. Her marriage to comedian MC Fish ended after five years, a split she confirmed in December. Anita described the experience as a difficult journey marked by pain, healing, and profound self-growth. She emphasized choosing grace and faith throughout the ordeal.
Insiders close to the couple revealed to bloggers that the marriage endured severe challenges. These included the tragic loss of two pregnancies—a stillbirth and a miscarriage—and alleged incidents of domestic violence. Since becoming single, Anita has stated she is not looking for a new partner, emphasizing the need to heal from a relationship that lasted "8 years and 11 days."
Netizens Weigh In With Mixed Reactions
The actress's post quickly went viral, attracting thousands of comments from followers with diverse opinions. Many shared their personal experiences with wedding rings, while others questioned the focus on jewelry over substance.
User joynnk0512 shared a touching tribute: "It's not all of them, my late husband wore his wedding band till the day he died. I was the one that removed it from his hand the very day he died at the hospital."
Others, like mrs_chiudo and realmay_19, noted that their husbands are diligent ring-wearers, with one even having a permanent mark on his finger from it.
However, some commenters disagreed with the premise. Angelctp stated, "Tbh, I don't wear my wedding ring. And am not bothered if my husband wear it or not. What will happen will happen." Another user, preizskincare_cosmetics, supported this view, saying, "Mine doesn’t, u won’t even see Jewelries on his body... it’s not really by wedding rings thou."
The post also attracted lighthearted and unrelated comments, with some followers complimenting her beauty and even noting the presence of her dog in the photo shared.
This public discourse on marriage symbols follows a previous report by Legit.ng where a popular seer, Bright, sent a spiritual warning to Anita Joseph and MC Fish about their divine calling, stating they could not run from it.
