Woli Arole, the Nigerian comedian-turned-cleric, has spoken out against a deeply ingrained misogynistic mindset found in certain cultural and societal circles, challenging outdated views about women's roles in marriage.
In an Instagram post, he directly confronted the erroneous ideology that women should remain silent or lack the agency to express their opinions within the marital union.
Arole noted that a woman's voice being suppressed in marriage is fundamentally flawed and counterproductive to a healthy partnership.
He emphasised that the biblical or cultural concept of submission, often cited in discussions about marital roles, does not equate to a woman being voiceless or intellectually diminished.
Arole went further to highlight the critical importance of a woman's voice in the home, suggesting that it can sometimes be the key to resolving challenges or bringing clarity to complex situations.
"The ideology that women cannot talk or have opinions in marriage is wrong Men, submission doesn't mean dumbness; your wife is your help meet. At times, the salvation of the home will be in her mouth," he wrote.
