Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu, has taken to social media to state that her future daughter-in-law has a right to retaliate and should, if ever she (Yesufu) slaps her.

Yesufu made this known via her Twitter page Sunday while reacting to a previous tweet by one Kene who said his wife has only two options to choose from; death or coma, should she retaliate if his mother slaps her.

“Some of you young women are very useless. Your mothers in-law talked to you and you have the guts to talk at her back? Ina Apu Ara? She slapped you because you raised your voice at her and you get mind-slap her back? Well na vegetable dey marry una…..Them no born you well to talk back at my mother when she’s talking to you…

“If I come back and hear that my mum slapped you and you slapped back, you definitely have two options to choose one….. Mortuary or coma.”

Responding to Kene’s tweet, Yesufu encouraged her daughter-in-law to retaliate should she slap her first. She continued advising that the young lady walk away from her marriage if her husband (Yesufu’s son) takes his mother’s side.

“I am old enough to be a mother-in-law and I have a son that can marry this minute if he so wishes so I am more than qualified to speak on this issue.

“If I should slap my daughter-in-law or potential one, she MUST ensure she gives me back double and walk away if my son supports nonsense. What the hell do you people think marriage confers on you? The right to be evil and wicked?,” she wrote.

The Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has condemned a viral video showing a lady filming her mentally unstable mother.

The minister described the video as disturbing, unacceptable, and potentially harmful. She emphasized that exploiting vulnerable individuals, especially those struggling with mental health issues, goes against the values of empathy and care.

The video, which has sparked outrage online, shows the lady engaging with her visibly unwell and unkempt mother. The lady claims her mother became mentally ill after her father’s death and has been living on the streets. Despite this, the lady visits her mother periodically with food and money.

Kennedy-Ohanenye urged the public to demonstrate compassion and understanding towards individuals suffering from mental health issues. She stated, “Mental illness demands compassion, understanding, and support – not ridicule or exploitation”.

The ministry is seeking information on the mother’s identity and condition to ensure proper care and protection.
