"YOUNG MEN WHO SHOULD BE IN CHARGE OF THEIR DESTINIES HAND IT OVER TO WOMEN. THIS MAKES YOU ALL FOOLS" MR. EDOCHIE STATED.
When asked why these hash comments, the veteran Nollywood actor said, we try to copy white people but he believes in the sacrosanctity of our culture, the essence, the core of our culture.
The white man kneels down to propose to a girl. He asked if we know what it means, the girl takes over the family and this is the reason why whenever you disagree with your wife overseas, you are kicked out and your wife takes the house.
Don't we know that? Pete Edochie asked.
