Popular Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has ignited a debate with her comment about Nigerian men on a live TV show.

Henshaw, who recently celebrated 32 years in Nollywood, stated that many Nigerian men are conditioned to see women as inferior, criticising the patriarchal mindset in the country.

The actress, in a statement on Arise TV, shared her concerns about gender inequality and the biases in the country. She also stressed that religious interpretations and cultural norms are among the factors that lead men in Nigeria to treat women unfairly.

“God created man and woman, He created the man first, no doubt, but he brought the woman from the side, not from the to head over the man or from under to be beneath him but beside, to reign beside him, to be fruitful, multiple and bring up children and grow together but Nigerian men see women as less than human that is why when you leave these shores and go somewhere else, they show you people pepper.

““You see us as this wood…even our laws, the violence against persons prohibition laws favours the man…A man is reasonably allowed to chastise his wife,” she added.

According to Henshaw, the intention of gender equality has been distorted by patriarchal ideologies.
