Popular Nigerian singer Harrison Tare Okiri, professionally known as Harrysong, has sparked online discussions after questioning why women rarely publicly acknowledge the good qualities of their husbands during divorce proceedings.
In a post shared on Instagram, the singer asked, “When will that day come during a divorce when the woman will come out in the public to say, this man is a good man?”
Harrysong’s comment immediately drew attention from fans and social media users, prompting debates about marital dynamics, accountability, and societal perceptions of divorce.
The singer’s question suggests a broader reflection on how relationships are perceived and narrated, especially in the public eye when marriages end.
Many users weighed in with varied perspectives. Some argued that a woman divorces a man only if he is not good enough for her, implying that the concept of a universally “good man” is subjective.
One anonymous commenter stated, “If you were good to her, she wouldn’t be divorcing you. No woman in her right senses divorces a good man. If she is divorcing you, you are not good for/ to her. Period.” Another added, “A good man can never be divorced, that’s why that day will never come.”
Others highlighted the role of circumstances such as financial challenges or personal growth in marital breakdowns.
One user noted, “Women now abandon their partners immediately they have a challenge with cash flow and trust me, they will confirm the men as good even declare his positive contributions to their lives’ journey.” This comment sparked discussion on how material considerations can affect modern relationships and perceptions of spousal goodness.
Some contributors suggested that societal norms and expectations make it difficult for women to publicly commend their ex-husbands during divorce, as divorces often involve complex emotions, resentment, and the need for personal closure.
A commenter expressed, “Divorce happens when both parties are irreconcilable. At that point, they can hardly remember the good qualities that the other person possesses. So this your wish is far-fetched.”
While many agreed with Harrysong’s sentiment, others dismissed it as unrealistic. Some argued that praising an ex-spouse after a divorce is uncommon, as emotional hurt and personal conflicts tend to dominate the narrative.
One social media user bluntly stated, “A good man is personally defined by his wife. If you are not meeting her standards of a good man, you are not. Stop the campaign.”
Despite the differing opinions, Harrysong’s post has succeeded in prompting conversations about marital expectations, respect, and accountability. It also highlights the influence of public figures in shaping debates around social norms and personal relationships.
In an era where divorces and marital disputes often play out publicly on social media, the singer’s reflection invites a deeper consideration of how relationships are valued, remembered, and narrated.
Whether or not women will ever publicly acknowledge the goodness of a spouse during divorce remains uncertain, but Harrysong’s question has certainly sparked a much-needed dialogue about respect, appreciation, and honesty in relationships.
