The former president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, has revealed one of the misogynistic beliefs of his late father.
While speaking during a drama presentation titled “Aremu Omo Asabi”, held to mark the 66 years remembrance of Obasanjo’s late mother, Mrs Benice Obasanjo, he said his only surviving sister didn’t go to school because his father believed that a woman would end up in the kitchen no matter how educated she is.
“I was the only one who went to school because my father believed that no matter how educated a female child is, she would end up in the kitchen”.

A week back, actress Caroline Danjuma had advised her gender in relationships, noting that as a woman living in Nigeria, as long as a man is richer than you, he will always be right.
Advising them, she told her gender to get themselves well-developed and financially, spiritually and mentally secure so that they would be able to give themselves to a man who is kind, loving and caring and loves them the way they deserve.
