Popular comedienne, Anita Asuoha, aka Real Warri Pikin, has opened up on the challenges she faces being a public figure and the public opinion about the relationship between her and her husband.
She disclosed that people often insinuate that she controls her husband because of the support he gives her.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, she said, “They say I am controlling Ikechukwu. They should leave my husband for me. Once a marriage is happy, people will say the husband is a ‘mumu’ (fool), and that the woman is controlling the husband. I hear that a lot of times.”
Noting that her husband and children completely support her brand, she said, “My husband and my children support me a hundred per cent. If my husband does not support me, I would not grow. Seeing that it is what makes me happy, he supports me.”
Regarding those who give her unsolicited advice about her marriage, she said, “If the person is older, I would just say ‘thank you’. But, I would go ahead to do whatever I want to do that I know is right. But if they are younger, I might insult them. If a man wants to be part of his children’s life, let him. It mustn’t be the woman’s responsibility alone.”
The comedienne, who made a social media post during the week referring to some married women as single mothers, emphasised what she meant. “Many married women are single mothers because they are left to take care of the children alone with little or no support from their husbands,” she said.
Proffering suggestions on how women can get their husbands to help them, she said, “Women should stop being enablers. If your husband does not support you with chores and childcare, or if he used to support you and stopped, especially if the two of you are both working, you need to communicate with him about it. Two people are working but only one person comes back to do the chores; that is wickedness. If you are a housewife, that is an entirely different situation.”

In her contribution, demibabygurl said: “The funny thing about this issue is that its the women that are even spoiling these men. Aside the fact that they all failed to train their sons well, they still give stoopid advices to young women. Once they see your husband cooking, the next thing is ‘You’re so spoilt ,is your husband meant to be cooking for you’. So tey, many fathers can’t even chanfe diaper of their children because they have apportioned gender roles. Our mothers are at fault here. I blame them so much for not training the male child well“
