Marriage As A System Was Designed To Benefit Men, As It Allows Even The Poorest Men To Have A Companion — Feminist Chidera Eggerue

British-Nigerian author and feminist Chidera Eggerue has made a controversial comment about marriage on the Honest Bunch Podcast.

During the conversation on marriage, feminism and relationship on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Chidera argued that marriage was created mainly to favor men. “Marriage as a system already was designed to benefit men,” she said. “Marriage allows for even the p+orest of men to still have a companion.”

She also stated that she would leave a partner if he lost his wealth. “And yes, if that man that I’m with, let’s say he loses his money, right? Because that’s the thing women hear a lot; ‘You want a rich man, well what if he loses his money?’ right?

We fantasize about the idea of a woman who likes rich men being with a man who loses his money. Guess what? He loses his money, he loses me. I move on,” she said.

Her comments quickly got a pushback from ManLikePharaoh, who described modern feminism in Nigeria as “a joke.” “Feminism is nons£nse, especially in Nigeria. It’s actually a joke,” he said, leading to a tense back-and-forth between both speakers.

Chidera, however, defended her stance, insisting she was speaking for women who no longer want to downplay their expectations in relationships. “I’m here to represent the women who are not going to pussyfoot around trying to make men feel better,” she said.
