Pack condoms in your husband’s bag to end cheating – Pete Edochie advices [VIDEO]
Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, has said Nigerian men of today are weak and that’s why women can afford to talk to them as they please.
The 73-year-old actor who made this known in a video posted on his Instagram account, said a cheating man who sees a condom his wife placed in his bag, will know she has his interest at heart and equally have a rethink whenever he wants to go astray.
He said, “If you drop your father’s name to answer the name of your husband, you are bound to be submissive to him. How can a woman go out of the house in the morning, come back in the night reeking of alcohol and the husband demands to know why she is late in coming home and what does she say? “If you know what is good for you, just get out of my way let me go, and sleep.”
“They can afford to say that today because the men of today are very weak. If she said it in our own time, she will never be in one piece again and I mean every word of what I am saying.”
The revered actor added that when he was younger and newly wedded, women were lovable and would never insult their men as is commonly practiced today
He said, “We got married when men were men and our women didn’t insult us that way. The way women insult men these days, I begin to imagine, is not our character. Our women used to be beautiful things we loved, that we loved to hold close that we loved to cuddle. Today they are turning into vixens, what is really going on?”
He further urged Nigerian women to be creative in their marriages and stop emulating white women who divorce and remarry.

A year ago, the respected movie star also stirred a controversy about marriage and relationships when he kicked against the idea of Nigerian men getting down on their knees to propose to women.
In a video that went viral in February 2020, the ‘Lion Heart’ star said, “Any young man who gets on his knees to propose to a girl, is not just an idiot, he’s a bloody fool, a compound buffoon”.
He added that the act was a replication of the foreign culture which could mean that the women would eventually take over the house.
Just in case you’re wondering why Pete Edochie has since been trending, Nigerians have reacted to this with an outburst. See some reactions below:

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.

Pete Edochie will not kill me. ??
My Oga say if you put condom in a man's bag, reverse psychology will stop him from cheating.
Bold of him to assume awon omo Oduduwa will even help you use your condom. ??

Pete Edochie will keep saying whatever he likes. At least he's not pretending to be progressive. That's how he genuinely thinks and he won't change for anybody. Don't waste your outrage.

Pete edochie is an old man yes, but his words make you reflect on the nonsense a lot of Nigerian women endured and still endure given how he's still dishing out company secrets of the patriarchy to young men and continuing the cycle.
So people have a right to be upset.
