What Exactly Is Wrong With The President's Statement Which He Made Inn Germany? by thaprofit88: 1:56pm On Oct 19, 2016
A few days ago, the President of Nigeria, Muhammad Buhari while addressing the press in Germany about his wife's previous statement said 'My wife belongs in my kitchen, living room, & other room'
Nigerians in their typical manner refused to digest the statement rather they started throwing punches at the President, not only because of their hatred for the president (some of them)but also because some are too educated they have become so illetrate hence every statement must be interpreted in the meaning 'they' have carved out for it.
Let me highlight a few words from the statement to help some of these educated illetrate people whose only strength is in seeing that the President fails in every area.
1. My wife belongs...... Here the President is obviously talking about no other person than HIS wife of 25years under whom she is a graduate, beauty therapist , cosmethologist, author, women rights activists and child rights advocate, and not any other persons wife.
Now for those of us still in our right mind the above dossier abt the first lady doesn't speak of someone confines to the kitchen, living room & other rooms
2. The statement has no gender imbalance as is wrongly being criticized for. He did not say 'Women belong to........ he said my wife belongs to......
Also for the right thinking minds who are married here i believe there are things u also allow and forbid ur wife from doing e.g. the clothes she wears, friends she associates with, etc will u allow any external force dictate to you how u should run ur family? The answer i guess is an emphatic No!
In my own opinion i believe the president did not mean all that he is being accused of in the statement he made. People are always looking for smoke where there's no fire.
In conclusion i believe the President meant something by the statement he made but what he did not mean is what is currently trending in the airwaves.
Lets think before we judge people.
God bless Nigeria

Nothing
Not a damned thing
Oza women may not know how to cook
Oza women may not want to get married
Oza women may be married to zeta males
Oza women may have booked vegetable for their husbands
Not Aisha
She's married to an alpha
And is willing to take care of him

U re correct OP. He only mentioned his wife and not women in general. We should leave the statement at that and not add extra. I have my exceptions to that statement though, not for the reason many people are beserk with it.
