Angry Nigerians on social media have reacted to the advice veteran actor, Pete Edochie gave married women with cheating husbands.
According to Pete, Women with cheating husband should endeavour to always put a pack of condom in their husband’s suitcase. This he said will make the husband’s know that their wives are aware that they are cheating and it will make them feel guilty.
The 74-year-old said this is a better way yo call a cheating husband to order instead of fighting and destroying the marriage.
Reacting to this, some social media users think the movie maker is a misogynist and he deserves a slap for telling women to put up with such bad situations.
