In a powerful statement, on-air personality Sandra Ezekwesili addressed women’s rights, emphasizing that no man has the authority to prevent a woman from going out.
On the microblogging platform X, Sandra asserted that no man should dictate whether his wife can go out or not.
In her opinion, this is not something to be expected or accepted. She asserted that she is struggling to understand the underlying reasons why this happens.
In her words: “Babes I promise you, your husband has no right to order you not to go out o. It’s not something to kiki about, it’s not something to look forward to and it’s not something to nod approvingly of. I’m trying to see the nuanced reason why this can/could happen and I am struggling.
“I told myself I’ll stop talking about these things cos we’re all living different lives and that means we’ll always see each other’s ways as off but alas. Informing your so about your movement is very different from ‘asking for permission’ and expecting a consequential answer.
“Are you trying to protect her or are you trying to control her? To show you CAN exert that control? Are you her father or her partner? Is the only way to ‘protect’ her to infringe upon her ability to go and come as she pleases (and is convenient for both your schedules)?”
Sandra’s message resonated with many women online, sparking a discussion about the importance of mutual respect and autonomy in relationships. She urged women to recognize their worth and not allow societal or marital expectations to diminish their freedom.
