Media personality, Kelechi Ikpe has said that one of the reasons why depression is on the rise is because men are disturbed by women taking up leadership roles.

Four African women sat down to discuss the rise in depression in our society in the 21st century. The group was made up of Lolo Cynthia, Kelechi Ikpe, Rafieka Williams, and Wathoni Anyansi.

As they spoke about depression, Kelechi came up with a point that she believes has led to the rise in depression. According to her, A lot of men are depressed because a lot of women are taking up leadership roles.

Kelechi Ikpe's opinion has generated massive outrage on Twitter with a lot of users calling her out.

Following the social media outrage, Lolo Cynthia took to Instagram to explain what Ms Ikpe meant.

Cynthia wrote:

This part of the video where @kelechitalks gives her. Opinion have led to huge outrage on twitter. -

Let me say this, I believe we are quick to jump on anything that remotely discusses gender because of the clime we at - that being said, I am not innocent because the heading was click bait; for this I take full responsibility. -
However this was an interesting point and we were corrected that depression might not be the best word to describe it.. -

In this society we live in, we can be honest and realistic that there are a lot of changes happening especially with women. The last century have led to lots of breakthroughs FOr women and also brought up conversation around the roles we had once taken up. -

I believe that many of us have our identities attached to these roles and with this shift, it can be overwhelming to find where you belong in the ever changing world. -

My co-host made sure to highlight that both genders were struggling with this shift as women have also had to step up into certain roles that they didn't have to engage in before. -

It will do us no good to continue to give into the outrage! We can't fight for change and not be willing to discuss how these changes are affecting the dynamic of day to day activities and our views on identity and life in general. -

We should not be feminist. We should be humanist.

Hope she has taken her own LEADERSHIP role too

Leadership roles?

That comment can only come from a faulty brain. I thought it was from a man, until I found out that it was actually from a woman.
How can a woman tell what goes on in the mind of men?
4 women sat down to discuss the rise in depression in the society, but focused on men only. As if women don't get depressed too.

Illogical nonsense!! Ugly feminists!!

See her black face like improper fraction!

Rubbish!!!!
In her mind now she has made a point
She needs to just sit down and be a listener so intelligent people can talk.

Oh, they would be more at peace if females had the only options of either being a maid or a wh0re right ?

A right thinking male will take that as a healthy challenge to aspire for greatness and not the norm.

Let them increase their depression medication dosage and learn to get used to it.

Forward ever, back ward never.

Her face shows she's depressed..... She needs help

Wow... Seriously?

Do women enjoy the feeling of being oppressed or hated? Looks like many have this persecution complex, always looking to prove that men are against them. Whereas men love women more than women love themselves.

This lady is comically stupid though. Leadership roles ni. Aren't we talking about the same majority of Nigerian ladies that have been hyperventilating because Falz said he detests transactional sex?

The economy is getting tougher, yet men still face so much pressure to become rich, else they may never get two things they crave for - respect and love. A man is far more likely to get ridiculed for being broke.

in slaying abi..

just negodu

I guess most Nigerians are not very smart especially the women.

The men who are depressed by what is talked about are bullshit

Beautiful nonsense from a daft feminist!

They should not be

I think there is something wrong with you.

If you like, send only your son to school and leave your daughter behind so your son can feel better about his sister not getting educated and living her life independently.

You are a big fool and you don't deserve to be a mother.

Shut up and use your brain for once.

When I made that comment, I wasn't referring to the women . I was referring to the males who are supposedly depressed over other people's progress.

Go back to school so you can learn how to read and understand things properly.

Market woman.

Women have taken jobs men would have taken in government and private sectors, leaving men frustrated.
