PETE EDOCHIE BLAMED FEMINISM FOR THE RISE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND BROKEN MARRIAGES.{PHOTOS}

  Speaking to BBC Igbo, the veteran actor stated that feminism isn't our culture as Africans.   He said when a woman leaves her parents and follows her husband, she's to do whatever her husband wants her to do.   He further stated that in most cases of domestic violence, women are to blame because they are no longer submissive.   He also complained that women today don't know how to do basic things like cooking to keep their husbands happy, despite getting a formal education.   He said his mother didn't get a formal education, yet she cooks a variety of dishes very well in a way that's pleasing to his father. "Any woman who cannot cook cannot call herself a woman, no," he said.   He continued: "This thing called feminism, that's what leads to women getting beaten in marriages. "When you talk to a woman, she will respond to you. When she responds to you, you won't be able to bear it so you'll stretch out your hand and beat her up."

  Authorities in the United Kingdom have slammed a £125,000 fine on Loveworld TV channel, owned by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, for airing conspiracy theories about Covid-19 that were unproven. On December 1st 2020, the TV channel had aired a 29-hour programme called the Global Day of Prayer, during which several unfounded claims were made about the coronavirus pandemic. These claims included the notion that the outbreak was ‘planned’, that the ‘sinister’ vaccine can be used to implant ‘nanochips’ that can control and cause harm to members of the public and the theory that the virus was somehow caused by 5G. Following a detailed investigation by Ofcom, the communications regulatory body in the United Kingdom, it was concluded that the programme breached broadcasting rules by sharing ‘potentially harmful’ claims about COVID19. This marks the second time in a year that Ofcom has petitioned Loveworld for making unsubstantiated statements about coronavirus. In a statement released, Ofcom concl
