Mary Njoku: Men Should Honour Their ‘God-Given Curse’ Instead of Demanding 50/50
Nollywood star Mary Njoku has weighed in on men insisting on splitting household bills equally. She cited the biblical punishment in Eden, where women were cursed with childbirth pain and men with the labour of providing food. She urged men to embrace their own “cross” rather than sharing women’s burden. Mary argues that each partner should bear the roles assigned in Eden gracefully. Beyond this, she has challenged the myth of the “independent woman,” encouraged men to support partners through postpartum changes, and defended mothers keeping their own names. She also backed IVF as a valid testimony for religious families.
