TVC Presenter Tope Mark-Odigie, has given clarity on her controversial statement that men own women.

Tope in a post she shared on her social media handle this evening, said she does not in anyway support this idea where women are objectified and handed over as some property to men as our culture dictates. She says she hopes that the comments will help bring to the fore the need for this cultural mindset to be expunged.

Read post below;

“I have seen multiple tweets, comments, prayers and curses.

Let me set the records straight.

My comments on the show depict the reality of our society, which I don’t agree with, but is our TRUTH.
It is our CULTURE, we don’t need to like it, but we must not play ostriches.

We must face it head on and address it.

As long we celebrate the buying of women (in the name of TRADITIONAL WEDDING) our men will feel entitled to do whatever pleases them with their possessions.

We must change this negative culture that has perpetually “OBJECTIFIED” women.

Culture has evolved over many generations.
We have continually expunged parts that do not serve us – like the killing of twins and albinos.

It is time to expunge seeing women as Properties .
It is time to expunge buying and selling of women.
It’s time to expunge all violence against women.”

I said the same thing sometime ago and people called for my hand(they can't have my head) . Nigeria women that ask for equality in marriage after her family collected thousands from her husband in the name of marriage/bride price are deceiving themselves.


Let's analyze marriage in Nigerian way.


Step 1. You asked for a girl's hand in marriage and she accepts.

Step 1. You do introduction.

Step 3. You fix date for the traditional marriage and her people bill you heavily.

Step 4. If if you bring the items in the list and they're satisfied with what you brought and the bride price or selling price, you can sugar coat it bride price to make them feel better.

Step 5. They will hand their Daughter over to you and she changes her name immediately. That's change of ownership for you.

If the above scenario doesn't appear to you as pure business arrangement and transaction then I don't know what will.



You own what you pay for. Even a kid knows that

It just gets worse.

Good one " Tope Mark-Odigie

Fucking Feminist
You all shall die

This lady does say a lot of shiit

Hmmm

She said nothing wrong. Her logic is spot on. Women in general hate the truth thus the vitriol she got.

Traditional marriage is sexist against men. It's a pity a lot of men don't realise it. If you pay for love, you're being short changed.

Is she subtly saying that traditional marriage should be abolished?

When she for don lock up she still dear escalate issues for hersef......mtheeww.....make i dey go jareh i don vex

I thought broadcasters had troll accounts for such statements? It’s a practice in the industry.

Honestly, our culture is part of our problem.




By the way, I just wished 30% modern-day ladies are like these smart.

Men own women . There's no denying that .

Even president buhari once told his wife she belongs to the other room .


In the olden days. Women are seen but not heard .

So the TVC presenter is on point .

Men are the leaders of women

Women are the most confused set of beings

Of course men own women.... In economics a commodity is anything that can be purchased with money... Ladies of this generation sell themselves to the highest bidder... They are commodities.

She is only making noise so that she will be more popular. She should meet Ben Bruce for common sense lesson.

Finally, Your View makes it to Nairaland.
She has 3 sons...
