Media personality Ifedayo Olarinde, widely known as Daddy Freeze, has urged Nigerian women to recognize their husbands as their “heads” rather than simply partners.
Daddy Freeze, known for his outspoken views on various societal issues, highlighted the distinction between African, Middle Eastern, Christian, and Islamic traditions, where the husband is traditionally regarded as the head of the family, contrasting with Western norms where spouses are often seen as equal partners.
In a video message shared via his Instagram account, the On-Air Personality (OAP) emphasized, “Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, and Efik traditions, as well as Christian and Islamic traditions, all say the man is the head of the house. In the Western world, your husband is your partner. Your husband is not supposed to be your partner; he is your head.”
While acknowledging cultural and religious variations, Daddy Freeze cautioned women to consider to whom they submit their headship carefully.
