Prominent media figure, Ifedayo Olarinde, better known as Daddy Freeze, has encouraged Nigerian women to view their husbands as their ‘leaders’ rather than their equals.
Daddy Freeze points out that in African, Middle Eastern, Christian, and Islamic cultures, the husband is traditionally seen as the family’s leader, a concept that differs from Western norms where the husband is considered a partner.
In a video message disseminated through his Instagram profile, the radio presenter stated, “In Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, and Efik cultures, as well as in Christian and Islamic teachings, the man is universally recognized as the family’s leader. In contrast, in Western societies, your husband is your equal. Your husband is not meant to be your equal, but your leader.”
He concluded by cautioning women to be discerning about to whom they ‘delegate their leadership’.”
