Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele, a billionaire, has publicly identified as a feminist but warns she does not support disrespectful wives.

She bared her mind in her advice to the wife of popular skit maker, Kamo State.

Akindele said in a viral video on social media that despite her being a feminist she does not encourage women to disrespect their husbands and also urged men to treat women “specially”, stressing the importance of women’s economic power in the home.

Her words: “I’m a feminist but I don’t support a woman disrespecting her husband. Make sure you do what is right.

“I believe that we are not the weaker gender. Men are supposed to treat women specially with respect. Also men should not feel a woman belongs to the kitchen and talk to her anyhow.

“We women are strong, and bold. Our economic power is very important, that is why we should make sure we have the power and protect the power so we can support our husbands.”

Funke is a divorcee but has argued that the collapse of her marriage does not make her a failure.
