Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Abuja.
Eze, who works with one of the government hospitals in Abuja, said he had
informed his wife, Dorothy a week ago that her obsession to the popular soaps

“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 said.

prepare food for the family or burnt the food she was preparing because she was
watching Zeeworld and Telemundo.

According to him, this was after he had complained to her about the effect
Zee world and Telemundo on their marriage and the children.
“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.’’
