How does society react to domestic abuse, and why do so many victims stay? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the realities of abusive relationships, contrasting the Nigerian and UK experiences.

Drawing on professional insights and real-life reflections, we explore the cultural, financial, and emotional factors that make leaving so difficult, as well as the stark differences in how abuse is recognized and addressed in both societies. We also examine the unique challenges men and women face when seeking help or speaking out.

This is a sensitive yet necessary discussion that sheds light on the realities many face, challenges societal attitudes, and asks how we can do better in supporting survivors. Honest, thought-provoking, compassionate, and eye-opening—this is a conversation we all need to have.
