Wedding rings are quite valuable in Nigeria. Akin Lewis, a professional actress, says it is unnecessary, and that wearing a ring does not prevent young women from having affairs with married men.
Lewis, who stopped wearing a ring many years ago, told Sunday Scoop that he appreciated the marital institution even though he didn’t believe in wearing one.

“I’m one of those folks who doesn’t have to wear wedding rings to prove that they’re married.” Every married man is in peril; regardless of whether he wears a ring or not, ladies will come. I’ve been in this business for quite some time.
“Physicians get to the point where you don’t refer to them as doctors any longer.” Because they have more experience than consultants, they are referred to as “mister.” So, I think I’ve reached the point where I don’t need to wear a ring and my wife isn’t troubled by it,” he explained.
Many guys, he claims, cheat on their wives while wearing their rings all the time because most women don’t care.
He added, “Even these ladies want a man with the ring. The reason is that he is not likely to marry another girl because they are not ready to marry and he is likely to have money. They believe that if he has provided for his family, he must have money. They like the man with the ring because they feel single guys are still struggling.”
Having experienced two failed marriages, Lewis stressed that he did all his best to patch his first marriage, but he had no choice than to move on.
He said, “When my first wife wanted to leave me, I made efforts to make things work, but I couldn’t save it. I went into another marriage that did not work out as well. I didn’t want to stay single for too long because I knew I would become promiscuous. This is my third marriage and it is working out fine.”
