The Minister for Women Affairs, Barrister Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye has advised Nigerian women not to argue or fight back with their husbands at home.

The Minister during a Conference of Commissioner of State Ministries of Women Affairs in Nigeria, held in Abuja, said avoid trading words, this would prevent physical assault that may likely lead to injury or death.

“I am equally begging my women not to look for trouble, not even at home because If a home is peaceful, the woman has 80% to contribute to that. If you need peace, you can equally achieve it.

“Keep your mouth shut. Talking back does not yield fruit, rather leads to death and destruction, It leads to bringing up bad children for society. Keep your mouth shout, It does not make you a fool but a wise person. When the man is shouting and saying all sorts of things, act like a fool and keep your mouth shut”

“After a while, watch him, If he is good man, he will come back to apologise. If he is not good one, ignore him. Have what you want to do in your mind, but when we show who we are and we fight back, most times, it leads to hitting, you could be injured”

“The same man that injured you will comeback and and say sorry. What will you do? Will you kill him? Even If we come out to fight for you and you lose your eye, are we going to replace the eye? So prevention is better than cure”, she said.
