When asked in a recent interview with
Punch
how a woman can have a successful marriage, actress Omotola said she
doesn't believe in gender equality and women should understand that men
are the heads of the family. Omotola has been married for 18 years so I
think she qualifies to advise other women. What she said below...
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 understood that here 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 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 struggle for power tussle with him, it tends to
cause friction in the home. The woman should give the man the respect as
the head of the home and also prove herself as a worthy co-pilot. He
needs to see you as a reliable co-pilot. Continue..
