Nollywood actress Ini Obong Edo has offered her perspective on the dynamics of relationships, asserting that some men perceive "overly successful" women as threats to their traditional role as heads of the household.
According to Edo, men often gravitate towards women they can easily "control" and who exhibit submissive qualities, a sentiment she shared during the latest episode of Toke Makinwa's podcast.


Edo delved into the challenges faced by strong and successful women, noting that their strength can be intimidating to some men.


She expressed, "Some men are threatened by women’s strength. Because we can come off as if we are doing too much. First of all, you’re a woman, you’re beautiful, you’re here and there…"


The accomplished actress went on to highlight the societal expectation for women to adhere to traditional roles, emphasizing that men often prefer women who conform to these expectations.


"Naturally, men want to see you [women] not so overly successful just so that they can pull you around, you can be the woman, cook and clean and do all the basic things that they’ve grown up to know is expected of women," she stated.

She’s not one I will classify as accomplished. I’m yet to see her in a foreign production.
