Nollywood actor, Etim Effiong, has stated his opinions on why female celebrities are not often seen in the media soliciting for funds.
On the latest episode of Bahd and Boujee podcast, the co-host, Moet Abebe, had asked the actor why male actors, especially the veterans, are often seen soliciting for funds.
Etim stated that men are naturally the ones that provide and they are often burdened with worries and challenges.
He said men tend to solve most of their troubles themselves till they can no longer do so hence the need to cry out for help and in most cases, financial aid.
Etim went further to state that men also tend to assist women behind the scenes making the weight a bit lesser for them compared to the men.
He said, “Traditionally, in the society that we all exist in, women have been largely men’s responsibility.
“So whenever there is a problem with the woman, men are quick to rise up to the occasion and meet that need or solve that problem.
“Whatever culture you come from in Nigeria, it would be a taboo to the men when the women in that culture have a problem and the men are not solving it.
“So, if you flip that, the converse of that is when the men have issues, the men need to solve the issues. Women are not going to rise up to solve the issues for men largely. Men have to sort themselves out.
“And when a man reaches a point where he can not solve his problems, he is not going to go to a woman, he is going to go to the world and be like, ‘Guys, I’ve reached my limit. I cannot help myself, come help me.'”
