Popular Nigerian actress, Peggy Ovire has reacted to the disclosure by skitmaker, Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori popularly known as Kiekie, that she contributes to the payment of her family’s rent.
In the video, the mother of one passionately insisted that she can’t stay in a house and not pay rent.
She stated this during a recent podcast hosted by popular media personality Toke Makinwa.
According to Kiekie, sharing bills with one’s husband brings about respect and also lessens the financial burden on the man.
Kiekie’s statement was however greeted with divergent views.
While some praised the comedian for trying to lessen the financial burden on her husband, others insisted that it is the responsibility of the man to shoulder the finances of the home.
Taking to the comment section of the blog where the video was shared, Ovire urged the comedian to admit that she earns more than her husband.
According to her, it is her husband’s responsibility to pay the bills while her own responsibility as a wife is to take care of the home and be there for emergencies.
She wrote, “Just say you earn more than your husband Kiekie, then bills sharing is a must. It is my husband’s responsibility to pay the bills especially since he can afford it. Mine is to take care of the home and be there for emergency cases. My man won’t even let me pay jack.”
