Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola recently shared her take on Gender equality in a quick chat with TS Weekender.When asked to share her view on Gender Equality Bill, the actress said:
“I’m sorry I don’t think men and women should have equal rights in this case. I think the male should have more than the female, but it should be with proportion, maybe on a ration of 60 to 40.
The reason why I think so is because we women tend to be extremely domineering when it comes to issues and sometimes sentimental. Men can be detailed even though we are sometimes. So, there are proportions in all these things.
The role of a man can never be over emphasized. Even though I’m a woman rights activist, I still believe in the place of a woman and a man. The man is suppose to be a step ahead of the woman; you can never take that away.”
Do you agree with her?
Well, you gotta wake up then
U re still tinking backward den
That word dominate is not proper .
Go get life……
Onwuatuegwu Nelson onuohia go get a job I see you don’t have anything to do
@ ibezim that is the way to miss heaven my dear. And yes a man should be in control and love her wife and all that
That’s ma gyal
This is an indication of a good wife who belives in the Bible and would be submissive to her husband. Thank you Foluke
Truth well said,..thats a real African woman, that knows where she is from.
That is why you are & will always be on top of your pairs.
May it be well with you & may peace & happiness never leave your home. It is well with you Madame.
Hopeless human being, u dont want to be under man, thats why women are always disintegrating homes and families. go get a life
only weak women say this….and with this attitude you will always get less money than the man and have less power
Serious dreamer lol
Finelle Njoku onuohia your family members are hopeless, go get a job
Alwayz dreaming Lol
God has always created men to dominate women no question about that
God bless you!
Yes wife submit to your husband and man love you wife?
wise woman!,,u must b a wife material …..nt al abt being in d church 25/7,reading d bible witout doing wot it says.She may nt b too churchious bt undastnd dt a man supoz to b accorded d respect of being d 1st ahead of woman,dts hw God made it.Even d so called born again strongly believ in gender equality.infact God wil bless u,if say u neva old,i for lik marry u.
Is only a wayward women that will go against this and the will remain stagnant and hate all there life.
And men love, pamper and adore that woman with a woman hood.
U ‘ve no respect at all I pity you
Is she married i guess I can marry her that’s the one.
You ‘ll live long
Exactly spot on
She is the strongest woman bcz she caught what majority of women are missing and I tell the whole heaven is behind her
Collins M Ekele anuohia go get a job
You are lost my dear
She’s either a muslum or smokin crack…
I tell you this woman she is jewel she caught what you missed
I know most women will Disagree bc they wanted to be in control,you are a nice woman and a wife material too
Luke Chinzo lmao obviously not by that statement….thinking like a cavemen…..what that tells me is she needs to rely on a man, and that is not good you should be able to have your own independance as well as the support of your husband but not have to beg for things that is like entrapment that to me is jail emotionally….like a slave…I am no slave to nobody
You have low seif esteem.
The word dominate is not proper it means command , overshadow, i.e. It doesn’t give the wife freedom to express her love to the husband ….marriage should be base in Gods word … The man is the head of the woman is his helper and his wife…. People come to social media to pretend to say what they are not thereby causing trouble in people’s homes whereas they are the devils.
True African woman.
True to some extent
DO u need Me den
Dominate! Nko U0001f633…
I have nothing against men being in control…if that could happen that would be great……Women have never wanter to control you in the first place but we have been let to take control…….You see before all this Men were the providers….they used to make sure their families had everything they needed….then they decided they prefer chasing skirts and forgot their families…they started spending on the other women and forgot their responsibility……so the women took up the role so they can provide and that is when things began to go down hill……everything changed……men lost their power of being in charge……So if men did take their responsibility back…and learn to provide everything for the family then they will get back the respect they had lost.
Good foluke is in d bible wife must submit to there husband if not they ve not see divorce yet,is single mother u r talking now you going to see half mother soon with gender equality,go ask wat is going on in those country u want to copy about relationship nd rate of divorce
Very true. According to Genesis, God created man first in His image n likeness, then He put him to sleep n got a rib frm him n created a woman. If he wanted us to be equal, He would have created both male n female in the same way n same day. May God open our understanding in Jesus Name!
I doubt she has a full understanding of the word: Dominate.
sounds like men that want a women like this want a dog because dogs dont talk and obey and do things on command, humans don’t work like that and smart women are too smart to be that stupid to fall for that
I wish men were in control here in germany but they are not, the government handed the whole power to women and only women
So equating yourself to your husband is high esteem?this is why many ladies will remain single for a long time.
But age doesn’t matter in marriage or else if the Love isn’t there.
THAT woman talking is ok with her life,she is simply saying ,women should remember dat the men is always d head of the house,no human or woman is a slave,every wise man loves a good woman ,n not a woman trying 2 rule the family,so what are u saying.
Basil Osezele ohh so what you are saying is you men are above me in the house you are having a laugh….it is equal….
Women should always be submissive to their men . I can proudly say if my mom wasn’t submissive my father wouldn’t be treating her like a queen for 50 good years. My parents are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. #wisewomentakenote#. @ Luke Chinzolike u are so right my brother
Woman respect ur man,man love ur wife,period
Basil Osezele In modern times the wife and husband both share duties and help out with the cooking and cleaning its quite fun and cute I cook for my fiance and he does the dishes I even offer to help with dishes but he says he wants to do them to show how he appreciates my cooking, we work out things when we travel and our plans we are a team
I see wisdom in your post. This is what is expected of any “Educated” woman. The so called gender equality was raised out of pride.
Men ahead of their wives does not means, they are slaves but companions to their husbands!
It is only those women who failed to take responsibilities of been a wife that are agitating for gender equality.
Thats the truth of all time.
Basil Osezele you sound like a officer noooo it’s man loves wife, wife loves man, don’t say respect your man!!! that sounds horrible like you insinuate that I don’t because I don’t have the body language of a submissive scared female those days are over mate lmao the attitude of the days of being scared of your parents is over when you are a adult I do not like being told what to do I would rather be alone if a man was to treat me like that.
Now that’s my queen right there
MADAM abeg you too get sense! God bless you
Husband love your wife and Wife submit to your husband. I don’t understand this gender Equality because to love is greater than to submit. God knows the best. Women are so lucky because Men are given the harder tasks. No complain from me.
Candice Witehira…you sound so irritating.. My dear you ve Lot’s of problems..
(1) you re not a Christian so you don’t read your Bible..
(2) you commit formication by being with a man you re not legally married to… Correct those first… But for the issue at hand, if you don’t change you philosophy, you will undergo Lot’s of divorce,heartbreaks nd unstable marriages…
Adeyosoye Bankole Voice really? I believe in equality and I am getting married next year on valentines day I am getting a house with my fiance we are travelling the world we are building our company together so your theory is wrong…and it does give you high esteem actually I see strong women who believe in equality and are ridiculous confident women
She is neither of those.. But a woman that studies her Bible.. Nd apply them…
Really?! That’s funny, I’m sure Germany is not much of a Christian nation then. Am I right?
Wisdom Uche Godswill you are irritated by a strong personality I am baptised christian, I am allowed to have sex with my fiance if I like that is my choice, you are going off track the subject here is a lady is saying we should be dominated by a man in a general aspect…the bible not written by god or jesus but a bunch of so called disciples who you have to take your word on and the testaments just keeps changing
Wisdom Uche Godswill by the way christianity was a made up religion but ok go ahead….all I can do is think for myself I know what is right and wrong and you have to accept everybodies sexuality and people just being themselves and help everybody and not to have hate in your heart that is what I live by
You are as dumb as trump.
Adeyosoye Bankole Voice how many have you married since you are not single.
You do not have the balls to be called a man and you are not so proud of being a woman. You are suffering from depression
Okpa in this hot weather? Lol U r a real Enugu girl
Germany is 100% christian but catholic
Truth hurts and she has said it. Women, pls allow us to lead whiles you control us from behind. Lol
They will go home and play the good wife role and come here and deceive who they can.
Marriage should be once and that makes the question of ‘how many’ wrong. Plus she’s right except you want to question God (if you believe there’s one)
We need equality on sharing if resources …forget about her opinion. That should only be applied in the house
Well, giving the whole power to women is….. That to me looks somehow though
U r blessed mama, and may God bless yo house
To me gender equality is all about. Giving opportunity for opposite sex to succeeded in those things seen as for the other sex #my opinion #
It is scriptural, marriage is a life of complement.
When a woman thinks she knows all, my dear you lack natural wisdom and you are saying all these out of your own human understanding… I think you are just being foolish… You know nothing but you claiming to know all… That woman is an intellectual and I think she’s more reasonable and responsible than u.
Yes, she is very correct… We are all humans but there is always a need for a crown on the kings head… D man is the crown of d woman n he is always on top… The Holy Bible and Quran can support my comment…
Felix Benard you don’t even know me literally…you think because I am not bowing down to you and kissing your feet you think I am not reasonable and have no natural wisdom lol she is an actress that does not take intelligence but technique actually I have never heard of her. I went to the best university in my country and I will soon be owner of a fruits and vegetables company in europe dispersing the product around europe and making business in countries around the world but keep thinking what you are thinking, my thought process is the way it is because it is matured and evolved over and thats why I am in my postion right now.
Very correct. But, not total domination anyway.a woman should be allowed to initiate or debate on issues favorable to the family.
U done finish?
True take my dear
You just quoted the Bible.
Candice Witehira,i rebuke that spirit of lesbianism that is speaking through you,now receive common sense in jesus name…
Mystic Uzo Ezeadi hahahahaha don’t try use jesus name for your own benefit that is wrong…and I just don’t go with weak men, what i mean by a weak man is a man that won’t let his guard down and is willing to be vunerable and listen, you are threatened by a real women who is more smarter than you
All I see is a bunch of males in here complaining against me because I stand up for myself no females here going against what i say what does that say?
Amaka Nwodo Idimogu… If not bcos u no go accept, I for marry u… U too smart jor… true to God u Smart pass Smart Phone… In fact na from ur smartness smart phone get dat name “smart” from…
If a man stick to his role as d head & d woman as a helper there’ll be peace, d head protects & cares, while d wife assists & submits. Our faith/religion{Christianity, Islam etc} recognise these critical roles & no amount of “destructive civilization” will disrupt this mutually progressive arrangement and relationship. Men should LOVE & respect their beloved wives….. on d other hand a domineering wife is a perfect recipe for a crashing Marital Union. Let our rights be respected by each other & let happy homes flourish. Two Captains don’t head one Ship.
Don’t mind her, she hasn’t got a clue what she’s talking about
May God Almighty bless your marriage.
Here to read ladies’ comments
Look dear, you still re not a Christian.. It doesn’t show in your claim about the bible. Cause a true Christian who believe and desire to live like Christ will know that the bible was not just written by bunch of disciples but was inspired by God himself.. Now the bible say that a woman should SUBMIT to her husband for the husband is the head of the family even as Christ is the head of the church… A true Christian not a hypocrite will believe that..
It’s a sorry situation but God is still in control .
Secondly.. A Christian is someone who live her life for Jesus not someone who does what she want… What will you tell Jesus?? That he saved you and u couldn’t obey him but commit formication?? Too bad dear. Just too bad..
Wisdom Uche Godswill read properly I am baptised christian and know the true facts before you spit fairytales it is a made up religion anyways go away with your nonsense of preaching, you go to church I will go on my business trips and I will pray to good at home goodluck in your life lol
Yup this is the correct way.
This gender equality stuff is common among igbo woman and South South women. Naturally, Northern women are submissive to their husbands. An average igbo girl would want to enjoy equal right with the husband , but would want the husband to be 100% in-charge of every expenditure including taking care of her family and her relatives. She would disrespect the husband in the name of gender equality and when the husband tries to correct her, she would term the husband “an illiterate” or uncivilize. She would tell him that in the western world i.e civlize society that women have right over their husbands. But, she fail to realise that we are Africans and such is not our culture or way of life . That’s why you see Such imported culture clashing with our culture and way of life and consequently leading to rampant divorce and waywardness in our society. African Women should learn to marry and live like Africans. Simple.
Women can run the home no doubt.. But it can never be justified that a man and his wife re equal.. No dear that’s not correct.. The Bible says that a woman is a helpmate to her husband not the other way.. It doesn’t mean she is a slave..no just that she has to be humble to her husband…
Wisdom Uche Godswill the bible says…. do you have the capability to think on your own? well I been trying to help your bible out but the men in my life keep wanting to do everything for me lmao
@Mary, u described d word ‘dominate’ and again contradicted it urself. U said its not proper for man to dominate d and u said again that man is d head of the woman? If d man as d head cannot dominate, why is he d head then? Just want to learn pls.
Women marries men in western world. So we’re not surprised by your reaction.
I don’t believe in gender equality, the bible doesn’t teach and I do not believe in a man dominating his wife. Where there is domination, there is no love or respect and the wife’s views are not considered. It is more like dictatorship. Do not forget that it was when God cursed the woman that He said the man would dominate you. While the duty of a woman is to have deep respect for the husband, it is NOT the duty of the man to dominate the wife, rather the man’s head ship should be displayed in a loving manner as the christ lead his disciples in a loving manner, treating his disciples with love and respect. Listening to their views, taking their weakness into consideration and lovingly correcting their errors. If men truly study how Jesus acted while on earth and emulate his example, their marriage would indeed be a lasting and very happy one.
