The Minister for Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye, has advised women against talking back to their husbands, warning that doing so may lead to death.
She made the comment during a Conference of Commissioners of State Ministries of Women Affairs in Nigeria held in Abuja.
Kennedy-Ohaneye emphasized women’s pivotal role in maintaining a peaceful home, attributing 80 per cent of a harmonious household to the woman’s contributions.
She urged women to prioritize peace, stating, “Keep your mouth shut. Talking back does not yield fruit; rather, it leads to death and destruction, it leads to bringing up bad children for society.
“Keep your mouth shut; it does not make you a fool but a wise person. When the man is shouting and saying all sorts of things, act like a fool and keep your mouth shut.”
