That's her opinion, just like everyone else she is entitled to her own. So must the world come to an end because Omotola is not in support of gender equality? undecided
Omotola is a very popular person, who knows you? Her opinion counts a lot. She is rich famous and even submissive. What a woman! She is worth her weight in gold.

God purnish gender equality! Lazy women! This is a woman that can afford marrying 15 men, but lays low before her husband- virtuous woman. When people like Linda Ikeji are making opulence look easy, some sit and type gibberish with the phone purchased by their MAGArin.
I will love to cook and sweep for a women like omotola and mercy johnson- true role models unlike Rihanna and lady gaga that expose their nudes online.

well im not really bothered by it because I find it quite redundant that a person who does not believe in gender equality would still promote the equal treatment of all human beings before the law cheesy



http://thenationonlineng.net/new/omotola-jalade-ekeinde-on-child-marriage/

how can you call for "justice and equity" when you don't believe in gender equality then? How can one promote justice and still claim that she doesn't believe in equality of all genders. Is justice not treating everyone equally before the law? you can never understand some people carefreewannabe grin

but the again this is Africa, equality means a whole new different thing. Gender Equality= women oppressing men. grin

To me, omotola doesnt know the meaning of gender equality. even in a blog where this her view was posted, a lot of comments criticised her and had to help her define what Gender equality is to her. well, to each one his own o.

The frst few comments in the first page have described her to be so. And the comments were made out of ignorance/no knowledge of whom omotola really is. I dnt have time to go back and forth with anybody becos its pointless. Her marriage has lasted this long because her husband is veeeery understanding and doesnt envy her success. Can you say the same of most men today? I do not envy her success at all. what is there to envy? i admire women who are successful and independent. I only made my comments to let others know that Omotola's husband has some baggage to endure from her. its more of tolerance from her husband than from her thats keeping the marriage going. A typical nigerian man with huge ego would remain married to an actress by the grace of God, with a lot of maturity and understanding. we all know the kind of lives these actresses, even married actresses live so lets stop pretending not to.

And please, no time for back and forth with you.
Yh no back and forth but quick question, it seems you know her and her family intimately, are you family?, friend of the family or neighbour or are you a colleague?. I really want to know pls.

Thanks dear, can I call you dear? grin

“I don’t believe in gender equality. I do not believe that God made man and woman to be equal in any way. I believe that in every organised institution, there is always a head and an assistant. It doesn’t mean that one should take the other for granted, or disrespect the other. I believe the husband is the head of the home and the wife is an assistant."

"My husband is a pilot, I have flown with him several times and I understood that here is a captain and a co-pilot. They are both responsible for the passengers’ lives. But when there is a final decision to make, it is up to the captain to make it. He is more experienced and the one with the responsibility.”

“When there is a quarrel, I usually apologise first. He doesn’t say sorry. Overtime, I have come to realise that it is an ego problem. Even when he knows he is wrong, he will rather do every other thing or buy things for me than say, ‘I’m sorry.’ Fortunately, the ‘sorrys’ are not too many. He is very responsible and more hardworking than me. By God’s grace, we have been able to understand our routine.”

Opinion:
Are you surprised that her marriage has lasted so long and will continue forever? I'm not implying that women should be subjugated but most modern ladies try to take the God-given place of their man hence so many crashed marriages nowadays.

Pls drop your concurrences or disagreements below. #1luv

@red
Are husbands more experienced in everything? I am sure, they are not.

Imagine a husband, who is a doctor is married to a woman, who is a teacher.

If their child is sick, he will know better what to do. When it comes to choosing the right school, the wife will be better suited to make the decision.

It is too simplistic to say that a husband knows everything better.

It would be much smarter to make use of the husband and wife's talents and abilities in each and every situation accordingly.
Sometimes the husband has all that it takes to make the right decision, other times the wife will be the better decision-maker.
It is called pragmatism.

Instead of giving someone the right to make the final decision based on gender, we should let people make final decision based on their expertise, experience and talent.



@green

It is funny that she says that her husband has ego issues. grin grin grin

Na im the person vex. no fit answer her question. This is why i feel that her husband is being very permissive towards her as compared to how some men here beating chest would towards their own wives.

There are decisions that you have to make for yourself even when you are married. This does not mean that you cannot discuss them with your partner.

There are decisions that you have to make together.

I didn't know that a woman's place according to our African cultural values was, " engaging in amorous physical contact with numerous men, all in the name of acting", "promoting equal treatment of a girl child in society" and spending more time pursuing your career than you do bringing up your own children.

@crackhaus, you keep harping on someone looking up to Emma Watson as not ideal but I tell you,age has nothing to do with stuff like this. Emma May very well be more knowledgeable about life than some 30 year olds. No be una dey talk say age is not a number?

Just 2days ago an 18 year old girl got into the house of law makers as the youngest law maker in the history of this state. It was all over the news. She beat big older MEN and women to get in there. Had to put college on hold first to serve her tenure and then to continue her education later.

When ppl have distinguished themselves,then maybe you should just ignore their age and listen to them when they speak.

And if you go further to name another 3males, I will name another 10females cheesy

Besides, you won't see/hear Inyanya or Flavour complaining that they are being objectified or that women only want to sleep with them.
Can you say the same of females?
If a young man jumps on Tiwa Savage to grab her azz on stage, she will scream harassment and be acting like that's not what she intended - to be desirable.

Leave her kids and trot the globe. Spend nights in different hotels alone or with Colleagues, hire cooks and house keepers and every other thing that makes other women evil. With such a husband,she can afford to be anything she wants to be and take any stance she wants to take.


I would love to read her opinion again if the husband had been the quit your career and face the home kind of man.

our issue is that you are the ones who don't know the meaning of the "head of a family" to most of you, having a pennnis is all that's needed to qualify as the "head of the family". Our argument is that what determines that a person is the "head of the family" is his character actions and not his gender.

Emma Watson has distinguished herself in what?

When Angelina Jolie is there to talk about life and choices, you're telling me to pay heed to a little girl? You must be kidding.

Nairaland pseudo-feminists, ask yourself:

- Why am I a feminist?

- Has there been a time I was oppressed or made to feel less than I am by a man?

- What is my purpose?

hehehe. She's just lucky. Instead of her to keep quiet and enjoy her man,she's putting sand in the garri of those who have real inequality problems.

Because I have a husband who let's me be me,it would be unfair of me to diss those who actually have a reason to want changes because I don't even know what I would do if I were in their shoes. Maybe I would do worse.

Say the man had put a lid on her success or tried to stifle her growth,I wonder if she wouldn't be divorced now and bearing the title of evil divorced feminist.

Many actresses stopped actively featuring in movies and tours after their marriage. Those who tried against their husbands wishes ended up divorced because they couldn't keep up with the pressure from the men to quit. They couldn't handle the insecurities that kept popping up especially when they were away for weeks in other states or countries spending nights with men their husbands don't know. Such a thing can hinder a career tremendously.
These other human actresses tried and couldn't work it out because their human husbands understandably couldn't endure such tensions in the relationships and they finally break up after trying to work it out unsuccessfully.

Now because she's very lucky to have a man who ignores what other men can't ignore and stayed married to her despite scandals and every other thing,she's suddenly the perfect woman and super mom.

How women can be insensitive to others while trying to answer mrs goody two shoes.
