Nollywood icon Pete Edochie rankled many feminists with his advice on how married women should deal with their cheating husbands.
In an interview with Adakari TV, Edochie advises women not to abandon their marital homes, even when their husbands are cheating on them.
Then he gave an advice that many are uncomfortable with.
He said: “If you think the husband is leaving the house to go and have an affair outside, put a packet of condom in his pocket. Psychologically, he’s gonna think, ‘this woman has my interest at heart’. If it is his intention to stray, he’ll pull himself together.
The advice stirred a huge debate on Twitter.
Some men supported him for the creative advice, while some called the veteran thespian old school.
Women and feminists slammed his suggestion.

I SEE A LOT OF WOMEN ON THE TL, WHO ARE UNAPOLOGETICALLY IN SUPPORT OF PETE EDOCHIE’S NARRATIVE IN THAT CIRCULATING INTERVIEW, AND IT SADDENS MY HEART THAT AS IF IT’S NOT ENOUGH THAT MISOGYNY AND PATRIARCHY WAS PROMOTED BY THIS MAN, OUR WOMEN ARE EMBRACING SUCH MEDIOCRITY.

70+ IGBO MAN. I THINK THEY NEED TO STOP INTERVIEWING PETE EDOCHIE, MORE ESPECIALLY ON SOCIAL ISSUES. BECAUSE THE MORE YOU INTERVIEW HIM, THE MORE IS SETTING A TRAP TO RIDICULE HIM….
