“My Wife Wants a Divorce After I Spent 15 Years Funding Her Nursing Education in the US”Okey Bakassi

According to a Post by MKD on Facebook Official account on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, Nigerian comedian and actor Okey Bakassi has reportedly shared a painful relationship experience involving the sacrifices he made to support his wife’s education in the United States.

According to the statement attributed to him, he spent 15 years working and using his earnings to pay his wife’s nursing school fees while earning his income in Nigerian naira. However, he claims that after years of supporting her educational journey, his wife is now seeking a divorce.

Okey Bakassi’s account has drawn attention to the challenges some couples face when their marriages are affected by long periods of separation. He explained that his wife had cited the length of time they had spent apart as the reason behind her decision to end their marriage.

The situation raises questions about the difficulties couples encounter when one partner must make significant sacrifices to support the other’s education or career development. In some cases, opportunities that require couples to live in different countries can place considerable pressure on their relationships.

For partners who remain behind to provide financial assistance, the expectation may be that their efforts will eventually lead to a more stable future together. However, maintaining emotional closeness while living apart for years can be difficult.

The account attributed to the comedian also highlights the importance of communication, shared expectations and mutual commitment when couples make major decisions that affect their future.

Although financial support can play an important role in helping a partner achieve educational and professional goals, sustaining a marriage may require more than financial sacrifices alone.

The story has the potential to spark conversations about commitment, distance and the responsibilities partners owe each other throughout their marriages.

The statement was shared in a post on the official Facebook account of MKD, although further details about the reported divorce request have not been independently established.
