The Minister for Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye, has cautioned women against talking back at their husbands.

Kennedy-Ohaneye warned that talking back during misunderstanding with the husband might lead to the woman’s death.

She issued the caution at a Conference of Commissioners of State Ministries of Women Affairs in Nigeria on Wednesday in Abuja.

According to the minister, “I am equally begging my women not to look for trouble, not even at home. Maintain peace in your home because if a home is peaceful, the woman has 80 per cent to contribute to that.

“If you need peace, you can equally achieve it.

“Keep your mouth shut. Talking back does not yield fruit, rather it leads to death and destruction, it leads to bringing up bad children for society.

“Keep your mouth shut, it does not make you a fool but a wise person. When the man is shouting and saying all sorts of things, act like a fool and keep your mouth shut.”
