Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye, the minister of women’s affairs, has advised women not to respond angrily to their spouses.
Kennedy-Ohaneye issued a warning, saying that the woman may die if she responded angrily to her husband during a dispute.
She gave the warning on Wednesday in Abuja during a conference of commissioners from state ministries of women’s affairs in Nigeria.
As stated by the minister, “I am equally begging my women not to look for trouble, not even at home. Maintain peace in your home because if a home is peaceful, the woman has 80 per cent to contribute to that.
“If you need peace, you can equally achieve it.
“Keep your mouth shut. Talking back does not yield fruit, rather it leads to death and destruction, it leads to bringing up bad children for society.
“Keep your mouth shut, it does not make you a fool but a wise person. When the man is shouting and saying all sorts of things, act like a fool and keep your mouth shut.”
