Nollywood actress, Monalisa Chinda is currently receiving tongue-lash after putting blame on women for domestic violence.
In her recent interview on Channels TV, the star actress said 50% of domestic violence are caused by women, affirming that God gave women ‘big mouths’.
Monalisa maintains that a woman ought not to argue with her partner, amid altercations.
According to her, a lady must swallow her uneasiness and must not make solid feelings before the man, and if the man assaults her, she is to be rebuked for the ambush.
Her statements regarding domestic violence in relationship, however welcome criticism from her fans and the Nigerian society at large.
iamnkemone: “Is she justifying domestic violence ????? Don’t hit your partner no matter what, there are other ways to go about a situation. #notodomesticviolence@monalisa is talking trash.”
fumfumnanya: “If she shouts, you shout back…. why should your response to words be fists? You shouldn’t even hit a random stranger who insults you talk less of your wife!!!!!! I know someone who slapped his wife cos she was running her mouth she fell, haemorrhaged and died…. VIOLENCE should not be condoned….“
the_love_i_give: “I’m glad My mother raised my brothers never to hit a woman and to walk away. Domestic abuse is not ok, whether it’s a man or woman. This is some of the reasons why Africa is forever be behind in everything. Our way of thinking is selfish.”
