Pete Edochie Criticised Over Condom Advice To Married Women

Nollywood icon Pete Edochie rankled many feminists with his advice on how married women should deal with their cheating husbands.

In an interview with Adakari TV, Edochie advises women not to abandon their marital homes, even when their husbands are cheating on them.   Then he gave an advice that many are uncomfortable with. 

He said: “If you think the husband is leaving the house to go and have an affair outside, put a packet of condom in his pocket. Psychologically, he’s gonna think, ‘this woman has my interest at heart’. If it is his intention to stray, he’ll pull himself together. 

The advice stirred a huge debate on Twitter. 

Some men supported him for the creative advice, while some called the veteran thespian old school. 

Women and feminists slammed his suggestion. 

And here are some reactions: 

My future husband better be watching that Pete Edochie interview with bewilderment ....except he too can pack postinor in my bag whenever I’m traveling to “check” me 😅😂

I think they need to stop interviewing Pete Edochie. Especially on social issues.

The man is 74. His generation is entirely different from ours on social issues and gender matters.

Continuing to interview him is setting a trap to ridicule him and ruin his memory for all of us.

I see a lot of women on the TL, who are unapologetically in support of Pete Edochie’s narrative in that circulating interview, and it saddens my heart that as if it’s not enough that MISOGYNY and PATRIARCHY was promoted by this man, our women are embracing such MEDIOCRITY.

Somebody should tell these women Pete Edochie doesn’t give 2 fvcks about what they think about him. All this man wants to do is to drop his 2 cents irrespective of how you see it and would do it 1million times if he’s called for another interview

Pete edochie is very quiet awesome. He made sense in the interview like no other. How I wish women will learn. He says a pack of condom that's not enough just put 1 box of condom. #PeteEdochie
