Gifty Nana Afriyie, the wife of popular Kumawood actor Oteele, has opened up about the emotional toll of repeated infidelity and the drastic measures she is prepared to take if her husband’s unfaithfulness continues.
In an interview with ZionFelix, Gifty candidly expressed her frustration, explaining that if she catches her husband engaging in another extramarital affair, she would not hesitate to do the same. She argued that women have endured the pain of betrayal for too long, and unless men experience that same pain firsthand, they are unlikely to change their behavior.
Gifty reflected on her own experience, stating that she has witnessed her husband cheat on her multiple times. As a result, she has reached a point where she believes that mirroring his actions might be the only way to make him understand the emotional devastation caused by infidelity. She admitted that being cheated on is an incredibly painful ordeal, one that she is no longer willing to suffer silently.
In addition to addressing the issue of infidelity, Gifty also shared her views on polygamy. While she does not object to the idea of her husband marrying a second wife, she made it clear that her consent would come with conditions. According to her, she would expect to receive a two-story building, be relocated abroad, and be gifted cars. Furthermore, she emphasized that her children’s wellbeing must be fully secured before she would consider supporting such a decision.

If her husband fulfills these requirements, Gifty explained, she would not object to him marrying as many women as he desires.
Despite her assertive stance, Gifty admitted that she often wrestles with the desire to walk away from the marriage entirely. She has voiced her wish for a divorce on multiple occasions, including just the day before the interview. However, she acknowledged that her husband has a way of calming her down during such moments of frustration. What ultimately anchors her in the marriage, she revealed, is a blend of patience and a deep concern for their children.
Oteele’s wife recounted how her children become visibly distressed and emotional whenever she hints at leaving, especially when she tells them she’s traveling. Their reactions, she noted, are often filled with suspicion and tears, making it difficult for her to follow through with her intentions to leave.
