A Wife Making More Money Than Her Husband Is Not A Big Deal – Kiitan Bukola

Nollywood actress and producer Kiitan Bukola has come out to say that she sees nothing wrong with married women earning more money than their husbands. She recently had her say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, there is nothing wrong with it since some women are born to rule, and she will only have a problem with it if the woman decides to be disrespectful towards her husband because she earns more.

Kiitan added that women who are more financially buoyant than their husbands should learn to remain humble and calm even while supporting their husbands with their own money.

Her words, “I don’t see a problem with it because some women are born to be great and they are born to rule. But just don’t be arrogant. Because you have money doesn’t mean you should disrespect your husband. Be peaceful, calm and respectful. You can even support your husband with your money.

As an actress, there are some men that cannot stand me, because they believe I will be seeing other men that are more financially secure. I see that as low self-esteem. As a man, you don’t need to have low self-esteem, you just need to be focused on whatever you are doing, as far as she respects you, and you haven’t seen her do wrong.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
