According to seasoned Nollywood actor Pete Edochie, a man may rule a nation if he can get along with a woman.
On Friday, in honor of International Women’s Day (IWD), the seasoned actor announced this.
On March 8, the actor—who turned 77 on March 8—also commended women for their contributions to families.
Pete Edochie emphasized that a woman’s “tongue” is where her strength lies.
Speaking in a video that was uploaded to his official social media website, Edochie said that a man is not a man if he slaps women without cause.
He claimed that although women are difficult to be around, once they move in, a house becomes a home.

“My 77th birthday coincided with the celebration of the International Women’s Day. So I want to use this opportunity to congratulate our women. A house is a house but converted to a home only when a woman gets into it. The strength of a woman is in her tongue,” he said.
“If a woman provokes you and you strike her, you do not qualify to be called a man. But if you can cope with a woman, you can run a local government, you can run a country. I want to tell you that.
“So congratulations to all the women. Keep it up. You make us proud. You take care of our children.”
Throughout his nearly four-decade playing career, Edochie has made appearances in over 200 films; two of his most notable roles are in “Living with Death” and “Things Fall Apart.”
