Daddy Freeze to Nigerian women: Your husband not your partner, he’s the head

Popular Nigerian On-Air-Personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, aka Daddy Freeze, has sparked controversy by declaring that a husband should not be viewed as a partner, but rather as the head of the household.

Daddy Freeze spoke in a video shared via Instagram.

Both African, Middle Eastern, Christian and Islamic traditions, according to him, regard the husband as the head of the family and not as a partner like in the Western world.

“Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani, and Efik traditions as well as Christian and Islamic traditions, all say the man is the head of the house. In the Western world, your husband is your partner.

“Your husband is not supposed to be your partner, he is your head,” the OAP said.

However, he advised women to be careful who they “submit your headship to.”

Daddy Freeze was born in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, to a Nigerian father and a Romanian mother.

He spent most of his early years in Ibadan, where he attended the International School Ibadan.
