Popular Nollywood actress, Stella Damasus has advised women to learn martial arts for self-defence against abusive partners.
She stated this in an Instagram post while reacting to comments that trailed a short clip of her upcoming effort that she earlier shared.
In the clip, a woman catches her husband cheating and immediately uses her martial art skills to deal with him, instead of the typical reaction of screaming or sobbing.
However, the actress denied promoting domestic violence by sharing the clip.
Damasus said she shared the clip in a bid to show a different side of the story that Nigerians were used to.
According to her, Nigerians were used to the typical local movie that portrays men beating or sending their wives packing.
