The Nigerian singer [Timi Dakolo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timi_Dakolo) posted on X, warning that staying in an abusive relationship and tolerating pain is not a testament to love, and that it is not the victim’s role to repair a partner’s brokenness. He emphasized that the capacity to endure mistreatment should not be confused with patience or character strength.
**What did Dakolo say?**
He wrote: "Dear anybody, suffering is not a proof of love. The amount of abuse you can take is not what patience is all about. It is not your job to fix broken people. Destructive tendencies is not character flaws. Even trained therapist gives up sometimes."
His message targets anyone caught in [abusive relationships](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence), urging them to recognize that abuse is a sign of a harmful dynamic, not a measure of devotion, and to seek help rather than trying to change the abuser.
