Regina Askia says men should respect women more

By Olamide Jasanya

Former Nollywood actress, Regina Askia has charged the male community to accord more respect to the females.

In a piece she posted recently on her Facebook page, Askia lamented about the unfair treatment the male folks mete out to their female counterparts and the emphasis placed on a woman’s marital status, age and private parts.

She described such as unfair and degrading to the women folk, The marital status thing. Does it mean when a woman is not married she has no identity, she is less of a person or what? For a Nigerian woman to get any type of respect there has to be a man in the picture in what ever capacity? So it does not matter if you are wife number 6 at least you are wife? She asked.

She further condemned the belief the negative comments passed at women and the degradation they suffer from the male folk this she says has affected the psyche of most females resorting to all sorts to be relevant including reducing their ages, So some of my soul sisters have designed a calibration where at 30. birthdays are celebrated every 3 years and at 40 every 4 years. Meaning if you are 30 you will turn 31 after 3 years ……so instead of kicking the other side of 40s with me my friends are mostly still 38.

Fans have started commenting on the post, most of them being women who seem to agree with her.
