Following President Buhari’s controversial statements about his wife, Aisha Buhari, TV personality/entrepreneur Stephanie Coker is expressing her views on the matter. She took to Instagram the below:

I feel so privileged to be growing up in an era where women are presidents of countries, women are running conglomerates, women are effortlessly juggling child bearing whilst running billion dollar companies, discovering cures to treating diseases and so many other extraordinary things. No woman should be confined to a kitchen, living room or any “other room”. My country has progressed so much in encouraging young girls to pursue their dreams. To be hearing this in 2016 breaks me and I will speak against it till it is finished. #RespectAWomanAndBeRespected

  4. That is the best place for her. U ppl are wicked oh. Patience went to any length to support her husband no matter how wrong he may be buh yet u cursed her for that and now Aisha does the opposite u hail her

    • They are people dat dont want this country to move forward, looks like some people are happy abt this present administration, aboki will always be an aboki, if it was jonathan now i know u wud have rained curses on him cos his wife said d truth, now it buhari and his wife is not loyal, they said d truth is bitter, my dear if u dont like it, go hug transformer, nigeria is better off without u

    • Christy Okunbor, what’s bringing aboki into this discourse? Where are you from? You mean the Northerners are not Naija people, and so cannot make meaningful comments?
      Yes, I’m happy with this present administration. This regime want to tackle Naija challenges, and place as a nation where we rightfully belong. Jonathan was weak and chicken livered. Billions of dollars went unaccounted for under his nose. He may not be corrupt but his statement that stealing is not corruption led to massive looting to the extent that he himself was shocked at the scale of embezzlement.
      Mama P. supported her husband to the end even when he made wrong decisions. She didn’t go public to say the TRUTH, she defended his utterances. We blamed her then.
      Now, Aisha failed to defend her husband and you claimed she’s saying the truth, what truth? When you get married, spread your husband like wrapper because you want to say the TRUTH, and see how you’ll be settled in that house.

  5. Who be this gas cooker or whatever u name is ..
    The president wife got what she deserve..if she can not keep her mouth shut and go about her bet project and if need be advice her husband at home but thinks she can say anything not just on local media but BBC. Then, she should go to the kitchen where she belong..we don’t even no her before now for she claiming she mobilise women,, weather she is there or not pmb would have still won

    • Sunshyne Gladys on a Nigeria normal note, forget about the civilization , where do you think woman office is ? …. …………

    • For d time bin, i dnt hve a wife, and if eventually i get married do u feel i shuld b d one going into d kitchen to cook for my wife? D issue is dat girls dis days r too quick to insult. I dnt anytin hear to use abusive words. Am tinking maybe ur a christian not a Muslim so y not read proverbs 31: 10- 30

    • Its forbiden for any woman to stand in d way of a man claiming to fight for her right if she leaves the kitchen do u expect d man to take over d kitchen ? They have been series of cases were by broken home are majorly caused by woman claiming to be superior over dre husband. Though i am not married bt i bet any woman to try such a tin with me

    • Don’t mind her she don’t know what she saying , how can a wife live her husband kitchen? Is not possible , bible let us know that wife should submit herself to her husband , Sunshyne Gladys read more in Ephesians- 5- 22: 33 , man were command to love you not to submit,
      if u don’t know
      The word submit -is to obey your husband , do what favour him, and you must not claim right when your husband is wrong you can only bring suggestion not to declare

    • But the question is , where do women really belong ? Is it not in d kitchen , is just that things av change poverty set in that’s why a wife will av to work to help the husband not rub shoulders with him, if things were good ur husband can say stay at home I will clear all bills, will u say No , am sure not, d fact is they both know what is wrong wit them coming out in public with dia issue, I don’t support her statement , but trust me it might be a strategy for her to win peoples heart, d hubby is old she might want to run later …. This is Nigeria anything can happen. …… And abeg babes this is social media is wrong to use some words …..

  7. All this are politics,both kitchen,living room,bedroom e.t.c
    we don’t want to know,people are dying on a daily basis due to abject poverty and hunger.After saying all these non-sense they are still living under same roof.
    Who is fooling Who?

  9. Wetin be una own anywhere wey he like make he put him wife, our own ni make recession wake comot becos there is God ooo! In all the things wey our eye dey see chaii,

  11. Make una leave politicians and their wives before una confuse. Tomorrow una go hear another news about them.

  13. something yaf entered oga Presido and wife head. dem just dey open their yash small small, God is at work….soon they’ll tell us why they’ve hyped price of every tin for market.

  15. Whats Your concern. Bulgari and wife both are Muslim’s and they married on Islamic condition. He’s 100percemt right, her position bongs to his kitchen nothing g else

  16. Nobody knows their private life better than they do, the wife might not be a public kind person so guess Mr presido is only trying to protect his wife.. mind your business miss gas cooker .

  17. D president said d true according to our religion which is Islam,Those pagans people shall kp their rotten mouth shut!

  18. Aisha isn’t complaining if reverse is the case,I expect her to reply.Why cry for her.They are Muslims;that is where their women belong.A woman was sentence to strokes of cain for driving in Saudi.What do u make of that? Don’t come between Buharia and Aisha.

  19. Na Aboki man na , what do you expect ??
    .
    Practically what he mean’t to say that she’s a full blown housewife and shouldn’t speak her mind on state of the Nation .. Imaqine this cominq from a ”President”.. Who promised to protect the riqhts of women .. Imaqine .. Mtcheeeew

  22. Very wrong of d presido to say dat to his wife on distant Germany he should have acted like a man. Shameful act

  23. @ Jamilu stop been sentimental and religioum bias he a wrong statement nt only to her but to they women globally. With her support and the others Nigerians women were in the Kitchen and others Rooms as he said can he won the electn?

    • John, when you marry, you can allow your wife the type of liberty you have in mind, but dont expect others to toe your line. Buhari is the head of his home, and he’s talking about HIS wife. He’s not talking to the women. And you mean his wife singlehandedly won him the elections? Buhari won the elections due to his reputation and largely because of the misgivings and corruption of the previous government. Millions of Naija people voted for the president not party affiliations.

  25. Saying what he said in a European country with a female leader is wrong in my opinion,but he is just being honest n straight forward as he has always been,when he stripped her off the title of first lady where were u? When she left an official gathering in her honour to go back home n cook for her husband wasn’t that in the 21st century? She is the president’s wife as officially declared n addressed as well,ideally as a wife that she is she delivers the duty of a good wife which does not so much exceed places he mentioned.

    • Offensive n condescending as expected, try to be constructive n sincere to your self ladies nowadays r not after liberty rather luxury, a lot prefer a rich man that’ll instantly attend to all their financial needs over an upcoming youngstar with a bright future.make sure u understand the message before commenting

    • Aisha did not do well with her open criticism of her husband, but Buhari’s reply is totally unacceptable. A wife can be more than a cook or bedroom companion. His words reduced his wife to a mere device. How can he even say such in a country with a female prime minister.

    • Wrong! The way u sound is as if the wife can order a man around. She can only advise him, and only on certain matters. The man exercises the power of decision in his home. Our mothers are a very good example of a wife, loyal, supportive, calm, humble and a crisis manager. How many times did your mother call your father to order? Your mom can only advise him, NOT order him. Stop saying a wife has the right, she was created as a support to the man and not the other way round.

  26. In the real sense what the duty of a wife to her husband if you married to a lady what’s are function as a wife mr president just stated a fact of his very own wife position in his life we all may have a different view but we must learn to respect his choice on issues regarding his home

  27. How does family issue affect the Children of God? Am not an advocate of Buhari but he has the right to determine the position of his wife in his life and family.

  28. We are too quick to respond to everything, this might be play or calculated to know our responses, and mostly 75 percent of laymen in this country believed it

  29. Nigeria stone of word , is not the only celebrities again , but oga presido vs first lady , a baby can not grow pàss is parent , mr President your wife can’t control you , i support you on that but consider masses ,

  31. He does nt ve common sense as human being in life. Are they being he has sensibility of a person he won’t have speak’s that to his wife cause she said the true 2him. It takes the wise to say so but fools can speak’s anything that come on in their mind.#Wrong Buhari

  36. Our religion teach us to cover our wife staying on their married duties, let us to struggle nd find food for them instead of them to be walking like igbos wife going river farm etc which is prohibited.

  37. You cheat on your wife nah and PMB don’t. STOP castigating a forthright man. You people are modern fools.

  38. My wife belong to my kitchen an living room an other room.. buhari said my wife my wife my wife buhari did not say women….. besides buhari is an Africa man.. buhari have Africa mentality buhari.. behave like African..now what did you people expect president buhari to say when it is obvious if he were to be poor that Aisha will occupy those positions he just mentioned … this is Africa .. this is Not Europe or American..

  41. Aisha was not in the kitchen before now they have a cook…pmb just react to her action…u guys should get that

  43. I believe Mr president was angry over his wife’s response during d BBC interview, but his comment was too harsh, she belong 2 my kitchen, living room & other room, haba, u would hv calmed down.

  44. sorry Aisha you meet a wrong man’ u will cook until u die” i can a sure u come and marry me u will not be in the kitchen always i will take u has my wife.

  45. Buhari local mentality is killing him that’s why he can’t differentiate the difference between Nigeria and Germany the worst of it all is that he said that trash in front of a powerful woman.

  48. Coker abi Cocaine wt ever is ur name cal mind ur business, normally wen it come 2gender issues u women don’t hv religion or wt Eva pls if ur religion gvs DT gender equality or ryt pls our doesn’t plssssss.

  50. Is his wife let him do whatever he will, between him, wife and family members. A man runs his home as he deems comfortable. Besides is the wife complaining? His wife is business . I think he doesn’t want his wife involve in politics period.

  55. I have tried very hard not to comment on the now famous or infamous BBC interview with the wife of our President, Aisha Buhari but I can’t keep quiet for too long. How can I love Nigeria and keep my mouth shut under this situation? I must say my mind!

    I am not suggesting that we should catch our women, cage them like birds and restrict them completely at home. No! We should love, honour, appreciate, respect and even pamper our women. God has told us in very clear terms how we should treat and relate with our women. He has told us in many ways than one, what our women can do and where they can do it. In fact, our holy books have spoken very loudly about where our women can go and the limits of their relationship. If our President had not allowed his wife to cross too many boundaries from the limits God has given women, she wouldn’t have spoken to the BBC. She wouldn’t have spoken the way she did. The simple fact is that God asks us to do certain things in certain ways, just for our own good and anyone who jumps the gun should be ready to face the consequences. Indeed, God has spoken the truth. Leaders and followers who go contrary to God’s commandments will also have to make do with the consequences. We should expect more unless we do more to obey God. Simple!

  56. Buhari na ur own worst oh! Cos Jonathan’s wife grammar was fun. But u, not only a disgrace but a big slap, in front of a world respected woman

  59. @ Queen Ndidi# U called ur Country’s president a Cow, So wht can call ur papa d one dt hunting d bush meat in d thick Forest? A PIG DONKY OR A DOG? We realy respect d cows cos it gives a lot of things like meat,Mealk, skins nd other things which contribute Economically,Traditionally n socially,Wht of Pig? To we PIG IS MOST DIRTY ANIMAL, SO U SHUT UP UR PIG’S EATING MOUTH

  60. These two people just wanted to divert people’s minds from what is going on in the country and believe me they succeeded coz everyone is talking about them instead of what to do in order to bail out the country from the problems.

  61. We elected pmb as president not his wife so she shouldn’t over step her foot, or do you think is during Jonathan time when his wife is a public figure to embarrassment and disgrace

  64. Why turning his statement upside down huh?What ur saying isn’t what he meant.He isn’t confining her to Tђξ kitchen,What he meant was that irrespective of what his wife says,she remains his wife who belongs to his rooms and kitchen.Whatever a woman is,she must cook for her husband and warm their matrimonial bed as well(wifely duties).Thats what Tђξ president meant.Always try and put inn understanding in whatever u read,dnt just pick it up from Tђξ surface and analyze

  65. Stephanie Coker, first of all, Aisha Buhari is a housewife to president Buhari, not his running mate. She’s been a housewife long before you even know Buhari, and her place has been in the home. The understanding between them has been the recipe that has kept their home strong till now.
    Secondly, Buhari said my wife, he didn’t say women. A man especially the president is the head of his family, and he determine the limits of his wife’s involvement in politics.
    Thirdly, for Aisha Buhari to make such statements about her husband in public even after discussing it with her husband is unacceptable. A wife support her husband anywhere. This is the reason why most of us grew up knowing our mothers still staying with our fathers. It’s not because our fathers were saints but because our mothers understand our traditions as mothers.
    And lastly, he needs to put a halt before others try to exploit his weakness through his wife. This is the problem former president Jonathan endured throughout his administration. An overbearing wife will always lord it over her husband, and can always expose the weakness of her husband.
    So, Buhari statements should not bother you Coker. Run your home the way that pleases you, and the way you can always cope with. Buhari is NOT talking to ALL women, he’s talking about HIS wife.

  66. Honestly am just tired of everything
    but i decree with faith today that before the end of this month two great men shall inbox me
    1 the person will ask for my Acc.no and send N2.9M to my my account
    2 the person will ask for my passport and work clean Dubai Visa for me to travel out

    Pls type Amen if u wish me well

  67. Why making noise women are originally made to help men if mr president said his wife is to help him only in the kitchen then ok an right go get your husband and stop interfering wth some body’s affairs “belong to my kitchen ” said by buhari is not offensive word rather a word of commitment of his wife.

  71. Mrs Aisha is not just a woman like the prostitute you sleep with but Mr buahari ‘bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh,how what he calls her is one of your headache? You guys should go and look for a work to do

  74. What re u pple talking about husband and wife,those Aisha truly belond to d kitchen? Do they not ve maids again?, n tufiakwa for una.I now ve DAT believe DAT most of our problems re caused by what we say or do

  76. on this matter I stand with buhari. this’s just the bitter truth women of today don’t want to face. and one major reason many family collapse today. accept it or not Bible never said women will be equals with men. they’ll be a HELPER

  78. Pls why making comments where there isn’t any…what do say about caterers, chefs and other food professionals…where do they belong to?…maintain a good kitchen as a wife and save your marriage…

  81. Being a housewife is the best you can do jobs dat are flexible n convenient as well as bcome a good mother and wife its nt confining d wife to d kitchen but its true dats were every womanblongs from d beginnin of time it was neva slavery or islam ol faith n tradition had that…..u wud go to office n still return to kitchen

  85. PMB married Aisha he didn’t employ her,opportunity made her the first Lady. Running a home is not the same as running a country. He only asked her to stay on her line which is being his wife not the vice president
