Nigerian actor and reality TV star Teddy A has triggered heated debates online after declaring he has no interest in a stay-at-home wife but insists his ideal woman must be submissive.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comments during a discussion on the Echo Room Podcast. He expressed strong support for ambitious women who contribute financially to the relationship.
“I love to support a woman. I have no problem having a high-value woman. I don’t want a stay-at-home wife. We both got to get it.”
He emphasised the importance of teamwork in building a future together. According to him, couples should work hard so they can later enjoy the fruits of their labour. However, he drew a firm line on submission, warning that problems arise when a woman refuses to be submissive.
The statement sparked immediate backlash from the women on the podcast, leading to a lively exchange. One participant referenced biblical principles, noting that husbands are expected to love their wives sacrificially. Teddy A responded sarcastically, questioning what happens after a man gives that sacrificial love.
His comments have divided netizens, with some supporting the idea of mutual hustle combined with respect, while others accuse him of wanting traditional benefits without traditional responsibilities.
