- Bovi argued that when a woman contributes financially, her efforts should be acknowledged and valued.
- He highlighted the importance of empowering women to chase their dreams and achieve financial autonomy.
Renowned stand-up comedian Bovi Ugboma has shared his thoughts on the role of husbands and wives in the family structure, emphasizing the need for women to achieve financial autonomy.
Bovi stressed the importance of empowering women to pursue their goals and contribute financially, while also acknowledging the cultural expectation for men to be primary providers.
He argued that recognizing and valuing women’s financial contributions can have practical advantages, such as providing for themselves and their families in unforeseen circumstances.
Bovi also highlighted the potential negative effects of relying solely on men for financial support, emphasizing the need for mutual understanding and finding common ground.
“You have to understand that even those of us who are providing, our egos are easily bruised, not to talk of you sitting at home and expecting her to provide,” he said.
“And it is the spiral effect that is the issue. If you want to sit at home. If you want to do 50/50 with your wife, do it in peace. But understand that there are effects for your wives providing for you.“
Generally speaking, man is the provider. However, if the passion of a woman has pushed her to a level she can provide, you must recognize that power in the woman.
“I like a man who provides. That is what is cultural. If your woman is ambitious, then you have to find the middle ground. I provide everything in my home.
“Personally, a man should provide for his family. I also believe in today’s world, a woman should be encouraged to chase her dream.
“And if those dreams make her economically powerful then it is welcome. If a man dies what happens to the woman when she is not economically powerful? And if a man chooses to misbehave and say leave my house, what happens to the woman?”.
