Singer Sylvester Nweke has sparked debate with his comments on the potential downsides of financially empowering women.
During a recent appearance on the Honest Bunch podcast, Nweke suggested that a man’s challenges often begin when he starts a business for his wife or girlfriend.
“Your problem starts as a man the day you open a business for your wife or girlfriend. The day you empower your wife, that is the day your problem starts,” he explained.
Sharing a personal story, Nweke recounted a couple married for 50 years, only for the husband to discover through a DNA test that just their last child was biologically his.
“I have seen a couple that stayed 50 years in marriage and in the 50th year, they started having problem. This man had to go and do DNA and this man found out that it is only the last daughter that brought about their issue that belongs to him,” he said. He described the woman as “50 years of a Christian woman that stays at home, that does not go out anyhow! Somebody you can vouch for!”
Nweke also shared his opinion on women who keep their maiden names after marriage, claiming it indicates a continued tie to their father’s household.
“You are not married. You belong to your father’s house. Let that your father you are answering his name, marry you,” he added.
