Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, is presently under heavy criticism on Twitter for giving a marital advice to women whose spouses are unfaithful.
The actor had shared a video on his verified Instagram account where he advised women to put condoms in the bags of their husbands if they suspect him of cheating.
Edochie said, “A lot of you right now are not in your husband’s house. You say that ‘he was cheating on me’. Solomon, I think, had about 1000 wives and 700 concubines. If your husband is cheating on you and now decides to take many more wives, what are you going to do? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
“If you think that your husband leaves the house and says that he is going on tour and he is going to have an affair outside, put a packet of condom into his bag; tell him that you have packed his bag for him. When he sees it, psychologically, he is going to think ‘this woman has my interest at heart.’ If it is his intention to stray, he will put himself together.
“The thing is that you women are not creative; you want to be like white women who keep marrying and divorcing and marrying. It does not suit us; it does not go down well with us. No.”

I think they need to stop interviewing Pete Edochie. Especially on social issues.
The man is 74. His generation is entirely different from ours on social issues and gender matters.
Continuing to interview him is setting a trap to ridicule him and ruin his memory for all of us.

The funniest part of this Pete edochie dilemma is the fact that you guys think a man who is willing to cheat on his wife will 1) see a condom and it will prevent him from cheating 2) cares about protecting his wife from STDS https://t.co/Y4zpctpWPc
