Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has taken to social media to express strong views about the value and influence of women, warning men that mistreating them could lead to serious consequences.
In a passionate Instagram post, Edochie described women as spiritual, virtuous, and substantial beings who align with God’s heart. She stressed that women hold the power to build or destroy a man, and their treatment can significantly impact a man’s success and happiness.
“A good woman is the engine of every home. Argue with your keypads, na me talk am and na out of experience. Behind every successful man, there’s a good spiritual woman. Believe it or not, women are spiritual, virtuous, and substantial,” she wrote.
The actress cautioned men against emotionally and physically abusing their partners. She warned that once a woman feels unloved and decides to leave, the man may face emotional and spiritual downfall.
“Women work with God’s heart. They have the power to make and unmake you. You could be doing well today with one woman you care about, but the very moment you stop showing her love, start hitting her, talking down on her, cheating on her, sleeping outside, rejecting her food and frolicking with ladies on the night street, your glory as a man starts dropping drastically. By the time she gets fed up and decides to walk away, trust me, your life will be in misery, and you will begin eating your own tears,” she stated.
Edochie further emphasised the strength and resilience of women, countering societal narratives that label them as weak. She urged men to treat their partners with love and respect to enjoy peace and prosperity in their homes.
“It’s simple: do not cause someone’s daughter pain and frustration, because your life as a man can be jeopardised. Every right-thinking woman is a strong vessel. And she is not as weak as the saying has labelled her to be. The heart of a woman plays a vital role in the success or failure of her man. Treat your woman well and enjoy your home in peace,” she added.
