Ace comedian and Nollywood actor, Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome better known as Ali Baba, has told women to insist that their insecure male partners quit their jobs if they earn more than them.
He gave the advice in a post he shared recently on his Instagram page, while responding to a trending story of a man who forced his wife to quit her job because she earned more than him.
While questioning the veracity of the story, Ali Baba noted that the self-worth of such men were tied to financial status, and they became weak when faced with prosperous women.
The thespian argued that the man should be the one to quit his job rather than asking his wife to resign.

Speaking via his verified social media handle, Ali baba wrote, “Who are these women falling for such lies? If you earn more than your man, let him quit his job. Nonsense! Who are these lazy bumcums peddling these stupid narratives?
“If you are earning N10 million a month, and your husband earns N1.5 million, how does it make sense to resign? That means the man’s confidence is financially driven and anchored. Insecurities my foot.
“So, Stedman will tell Oprah Winfrey to resign. Who is bringing up these men with self esteem that is defined by financial status? Instead of being challenged and driven to upgrade your financial status.”
