Buhari Insists: Aisha Belongs In My Kitchen, She Should Stay Out Of Politics by BeeBeeOoh(op): 1:38pm On Oct 16, 2016

President Muhammadu insists the place of his wife, Aisha, is in the kitchen.

On Friday, Buhari said his wife belonged in the kitchen, and “the other room,” apparently a euphemism for the bedroom.

He had said this at a press conference after a closed-door meeting,with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, in response to an interview Aisha granted the BBC, where she said that his government had been hijacked.

In the interview, Aisha had also said that she might not support her husband under the present circumstances if he seeks re-election in 2019.

“I don’t know which party my wife belongs to, but my wife belongs to my kitchen and my living room and the other room.” Buhari had said.

“It is not easy to do away with opposition or people who did not follow you along your campaign trail. I hope my wife will remember that I was on the field for 12 years; I tried three times, the fourth time I managed to succeed. And I ended up the first three times in the Nigerian Supreme Court, so I claim superior knowledge over her and the rest of the opposition and I succeeded.

“It is not easy to satisfy the whole Nigerian opposition party or to participate in the government.”


In response to a backlash from the statement, Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, said the president was only joking.

But in an interview with DW’s Phil Gayle, Buhari reiterated his position, saying the function of his wife was to take care of his home:

DW: Recently your wife criticised your choices for top jobs, and you responded by saying “I don’t know which party my wife belongs to, but she belongs to my kitchen and my living room.” What did you mean by that, sir?

Buhari: I am sure you have a house. … You know where your kitchen is, you know where your living room is, and I believe your wife looks after all of that, even if she is working.

DW: That is your wife’s function?

Buhari: Yes, to look after me.

DW: And she should stay out of politics?

Buhari: I think so.

I can't blame him cos that's how it is in the North. Their wives are Limited to kitchen and other rooms, even to enter the husbands bedroom, you must fill forms.
That's the reason why this president keep saying this, but he should know he is saying it in a wrong way in the presence of wrong people and also at a wrong time.
He should know that, his wife as the first lady can't just keep mute and be a kind of ghost. Not possible.

Many woman fought for the freedom of women so as to participate in the society and it's also to relieve the men.

Mr President, know this, what you're trying to do now is to limit the women. You're going back to the time of old. And also my own wife o will not be Limited to the kitchen, some rooms and other rooms, but will own the house as a whole and will also contribute to the society positively. Think well and make restitution privately i suggest

Women should say no to the #OtherRoom

Bros there's no 1st lady in our constitution. Buhari was elected not her and she's not holding any political appointment. She can advice the president and shes not supposed to know everybody appointed into key positions. She should 1st takecare of her husband and make sure he has sound health and mind so he can perform his job better. If he dies now all this her noise nobody will even bother listen to her.

Exactly my thoughts, He's almost 74 and he's from one of the most backwards places on earth when it comes to women's rights. I am not shocked to hear this from him.

But as a president,he should know better and think about the young girls and women of his country. He's sending a very harmful message about women and he should publicly apologize and change his views.Sadly enough, Aisha has been one of the most active first ladies, his other daughter has been involved in a lot of projects all over. These are not women who belong to the kitchen. He has insulted them and their achievements.

Am not going to take sides here
But what's the best kind of response when your wife decides to go against you publicly........

when she knows she can freely do that in the OTHER ROOM
Re: Buhari Insists: Aisha Belongs In My Kitchen, She Should Stay Out Of Politics by Earth2Metahuman:
Yep

it's obvious Aisha knows nothing about politics..

And instead of making her husband look weak and like an ediot, I would also suggest she stays in the kitchen.

Even if your husband is Hitler, you don't criticize him publicly.. That's how politics work.

In as much as Buhari statement degraded women, I think he wants to avoid the mistake Jonathan did, allowing PEJ into politics messing up the election.

Re: Buhari Insists: Aisha Belongs In My Kitchen, She Should Stay Out Of Politics by Omeokachie: 4:15pm On Oct 16, 2016
But when she was mounting the podium across the nation mobilising and campaining for you you did not give her that advice!

The lame attempt by this president to paper over the cracks which his unpresidential remark has done to the psyche of the nigerian woman is nauseating.

hello testing the mic 1....2



see as I rush grab land 4 site



Its high time they stopped interviewing buhari with
English language pls.He might have one thing in mind
but doesn't know how to put it so he say another
thing.Illiteracy is the worst disease.


Buhari must be forgiven. He is terribly ill and the illness
affects his ability to remember events clearly, particularly
recent events. There is always a flicker of memory of
past events in a disjointed fashion with reawakening of
primitive sensory perception in a tenacious manner. He is
terribly helplessly handicapped. We should not always
hold him for his words and actions. The national tragedy
is that people are profiting from his handicap and ill-
health. Instead of offering help as a national duty.
