"I Am A Feminist" - Funke Akindele Reveals

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Popular Nigerian actress and filmmaker, Funke Akindele, has revealed that she is a feminist.

The box office queen made this known while advising the wife of popular skit maker, Kamo State, in a viral video on social media. She noted that she is a feminist, but she is never in support of women disrespecting their husbands.

She, however, noted that she believes that women are not the weaker gender, while urging men to treat women specially with respect.

Funke Akindele said:
"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.”
