Award-winning actress and one of TIME’s 100 most influential persons, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, in an interview with Punch Newspaper revealed that she does “not believe in gender equality,” and that men and women were not created by God to be equal in any way.
“I don’t believe in gender equality. I do not believe that God made
man and woman to be equal in any way. I believe that in every organised
institution, there is always a head and an assistant. It doesn’t mean
that one should take the other for granted or disrespect the other. I
believe the husband is the head of the home and the wife is an
assistant.
My husband is a pilot; I have flown with him several times and I
understand that there is a captain and a co-pilot; they are both
responsible for the passengers’ lives. But when there is a final
decision to make, it is up to the captain to make it. He is more
experienced and [therefore] the one with the responsibility. But any
mature captain will not ignore his co-pilot because the co-pilot is not a
cabin attendant. He is there for a reason. It just depends on how you
understand and play your roles. I believe women should understand this.
When a woman starts a power tussle with him, it tends to cause
friction in the home,” she said. One hell of a view for a 21st Century
woman!
