Speaking about receiving unsolicited advice from strangers about her marriage and life, Real Warri Pikin said:

If the person is older, I would just say ‘thank you’. But, I would go ahead to do whatever I want to do that I know is right. But if they are younger, I might insult them.

Speaking more about men taking care of the children and home and not leaving it to mothers alone, Real Warri Pikin shared saying:

If a man wants to be part of his children’s life, let him. It mustn’t be the woman’s responsibility alone. Many married women are single mothers because they are left to take care of the children alone with little or no support from their husbands. Women should stop being enablers. If your husband does not support you with chores and childcare, or if he used to support you and stopped, especially if the two of you are both working, you need to communicate with him about it. Two people are working but only one person comes back to do the chores; that is wickedness. If you are a housewife, that is an entirely different situation.

Speaking about why people call her husband a 'mumu', why they should stop, and the role of family in her life, Real Warri Pikin said:

They say I am controlling Ikechukwu. They should leave my husband for me. Once a marriage is happy, people will say the husband is a ‘mumu’ (fool), and that the woman is controlling the husband. I hear that a lot of times.

My husband and my children support me a hundred per cent. If my husband does not support me, I would not grow. Seeing that it is what makes me happy, he supports me.

It is good to see examples of fathers and husbands who actually help out in the house. I don't believe a man is a 'mumu' or 'being controlled' simply because he wants to help out with the children that he was part of bringing into this world. It's good to see Real Warri Pikin and her family highlighting and talking about this. What do you think about what Real Warri Pikin said?
