Popular actress, Funke Akindele, has urged women to have economic power and protect it.
She, however, believes this is not to compete with men but for wives to be able to support their husbands.
She notes this even as she says although she is a feminist, she does not believe women should disrespect their husbands.
In an interview with comedian Kamo State, she explains, “I’m a feminist, but I do not support a woman disrespecting her husband. Do what is right. I believe that we are not the weaker sex or vessel. Men are supposed to treat us specially and respect us. Men should not also feel that a woman belongs to the kitchen and can be talked to anyhow.
“We women are strong and bold. Also, our economic power is important; that is why we should make sure we have the power and protect it so we can support our husbands.”
