Outspoken media personality Ifedayo Olarinde, better known as Daddy Freeze, has encouraged Nigerian women to view their husbands as the “heads” of the household rather than as equal partners.
Daddy Freeze explained that in African, Middle Eastern, Christian, and Islamic traditions, the husband is considered the head of the family. This is in contrast to the Western view where marriage is seen as a partnership.
In a video posted on his Instagram account, he stated, “In Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, and Efik traditions, as well as in Christian and Islamic traditions, the man is considered the head of the house. In the Western world, husbands are viewed as partners, but your husband is not supposed to be your partner; he is your head.”
