Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, has said feminism should be held responsible for the domestic violence women suffer in marriage.
The actor told BBC Igbo that modern women lack a basic skill like cooking to keep their husbands happy, adding that women are usually to blame for cases of domestic violence.
He noted that any woman who cannot cook has lost the right to refer to herself as a woman.
He stated, "Feminism isn’t something black humans are recognized for. Once a lady leaves her mother and father to meet her husband and takes his surname, she is to be submissive to him. If she wasn’t married, she will do anything she wishes.
"Women stroll and display off their behinds, it’s so that guys could find them. If you notice such a female and explicit your marriage interest, then she begins taking walks nicely. Our girls now plunge into feminism nowadays.
“They can’t even maintain their husbands anymore. Is that a great aspect? These women are schooled however numerous other halves now can’t even cook — one element that a girl have to be suitable in with a purpose to be capable of preserve her husband.
“My mother was now not knowledgeable but she might prepare dinner all styles of soups, which includes sour leaf, Oha, Ogbono, Okro, Egusi, Ukwa, and what have you. My father might usually get returned domestic hurriedly to eat what his wife had cooked.
“Today, our other halves can’t even cook dinner anymore. Women who can’t cook dinner aren’t intended to name themselves girls. And feminism is what reasons girls to be overwhelmed up in marriages. You whinge to a female and she retorts.
"It turns into unbearable, so that you stretch your arm and deal her a slap. Domestic violence begins. I don’t like seeing women crying as it hurts me deeply. But it's miles the fault of the woman herself a whole lot of instances.”
According to Edochie, feminism has no place in Nigeria’s subculture.
He persisted, “To be sincere, the knowledge of ladies is low. I’m no longer a misogynist but I’ve associated with them loads, even at paintings. Feminism has no place in our lifestyle. We don’t worship ladies because the whites do.
“In the west, girls should be part of forces and accuse a male colleague of assault. The guy resigns. This can’t happen in our way of life. As a younger female, if pedestrians don’t appreciate you, you’d weep for worry of not being lovely.
"I’m a sturdy adherent of way of life. Kneeling to place a hoop on a woman’s palms is not our culture. Any man who does that transfers the headship of his own family to that woman. Until my dad died at 96, he in no way knelt to recommend.
“It’s just like kneeling down on getting into a church due to the fact there’s a higher being to whom you’re paying admire. Men climb bushes to tap palm wine. How does it appearance if girls do the identical? Today girls dictate to men.
“It wasn’t like that during our days. How girls speak to guys these days isn’t how we have been raised. My mother turned into by no means beaten. My spouse and I have been married for 52 years. I by no means beat her. My five married sons don’t beat their other halves.”
