Nigerian actress and filmmaker, Funke Akindele, has publicly identified herself as a feminist.
Akindele made this revelation while advising the wife of popular skit maker, Kamo State.
Speaking in a viral video on social media, the actress noted that despite her feminist nature, she does not encourage women to disrespect their husbands.
While also urging men to treat women “specially”, she noted the importance of women’s economic power in their home.
“I’m a feminist but I don’t support a woman disrespecting her husband. Make sure you do what is right.
“I believe that we are not the weaker gender. Men are supposed to treat women specially with respect. Also men should not feel a woman belongs to the kitchen and talked to anyhow.
“We women are strong, and bold. Our economic power is very important, that is why we should make sure we have the power and protect the power so we can support our husbands.”
