Women Are Unfairly Burdened – Akah Nnani Joins #HeForShe Challenge

Nollywood actor Akah Nnani also joined in the ongoing #HeForShe challenge for married men, noting how women are unfairly burdened in the society of ours.
Akah Nnani took to Instagram to share pictures of him doing the dishes with smiles and emphasising on the need for men to support their wives, especially with the house chores.
According to him, a man is supposed to protect his wife from stress and in times like these *(of COVID-19), protect their kids from germs. Read his position below:”I believe a man’s responsibility is to protect the woman, his wife, from stress. In these times, fathers are to protect their kids from germs. Help your kids wash their hands. Protect your family from the social damage of having an absent father. We always talk about ‘wife material’ well, there should be #HusbandMaterial too then. We live in a world where women are unfairly burdened with the responsibility of caring for the home alone. They cook, clean, take care of the kids and all sorts… Then still have to do work. I’ve been married for over a year now and before marriage, I always knew I didn’t want domestic help.“
In my home, when she cooks I wash the bathroom, she sweeps, I mop. She is tired, I make the indomie. I wash the dishes. I also keep MY home. Because it is mine too. I know men can do better when we know better. This is why I am joining the #HeForShe campaign to remind my brothers that #GenderEquality should also be at home. Oh, the world would be so much better and we would be so much happier if we worked together to make every human feel valued.”

We stand with the women and use our voices for good. WE MOVE!!?✊?“, he wrote.
