Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has shared his views on marriage, gender roles, and family leadership during an appearance on Bae U’s ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast.
During the conversation, Bae U asked Pete about his thoughts on becoming a househusband.
Pete cautioned against a man praying for a situation where his wife would be responsible for providing for him.
“Don’t pray for your wife to feed you. If you get into such a situation, you’d like to take poison and die,” he said.
Pete went on to explain his position on a man proposing to a woman, arguing that kneeling to offer a woman a ring amounts to giving her leadership of the family.
“If you step down on your knee and you offer a woman a ring, you are conceding headship of the family to that woman,” he stated.
When Bae U asked him to take back the statement, Pete stood his ground.
“I will not take it back,” he replied.
