Nigerian designer, Zizi Cardow, is apparently tired of reading stories
about women being in abusive marriages all because they want to stay
married due to societal pressure. In a video she shared on Facebook,
Zizi reacted to the story of a married Nigerian woman whose husband told
her to send her teenage daughter from a past relationship away from his
house simply because he is sexually attracted to the daughter.
According to Zizi, the woman came on Facebook to ask her followers what
she should do, whether to stay in her marriage and send her daughter
away or move out of the home. Apparently angered by the story, Zizi in
her video, scolded women for staying put in marriages that are very
unhealthy for them. The mum of one who is married to a White man,
said:''When it comes to marriages and what a man or woman do, I don't
really bother because it is their decision and they are adults and you
must take the consequences that come out of it but when you involve your
kids in it is where it gets me because these kids did not ask to be
born neither did they ask for you to make some stupid decisions in your
life. I am sick and tired of all these post people put up of somebody
gets beaten up, gets stabbed. You get beaten up, you get killed because
you want to. Don't involve your kids in it. When you make stupid
decisions that you want to get married because the whole nation is crazy
about getting married, don't get your kids involved in it.Please my
sisters, if you want to get married, think about it thoroughly. Don't
think about just the wedding itself. It's a marriage, a life time
decision. It is not just about Asoebi, caterers, slaying or having the
best wedding.Please women, if you are not ready for children, do not
have them. I don't know why the society is so pressured about people
getting married and having children when half of the people that have
children are not supposed to. Honeslty, not every woman is supposed to
have children and not everyone is supposed to be married. Not every
woman who has kids is supposed to be called a mother''.Zizi went on to
say that the society keeps saying men are scarce but that the truth is
that there are men in the society but the quality of men women desire is
what is lacking."Not every woman is supposed to have kids or be married'' - designer Zizi Cardow says
