Actress, Etinosa gives meaning of ‘strong woman’ in Africa

The Nollywood actress, Etinosa Idemudia has queried the definition of a strong independent woman in Africa.

In an Instagram post, Etinosa questioned the true meaning of a strong woman.

She said that when Africans talk about a strong woman; they are referring to women willing to endure sufferings; maltreatment, and disrespect.

She questioned why successful women, breaking barriers while refusing to be disrespected or maltreated are not the ones referred to as strong women.

Here is what she said:

“There’s one nonsense thing that they do in this society that I don’t like.

It’s as if they use to measure the strength of a woman, they use to measure the virtuousness of a woman by the suffering that she can endure.”

She went on to give examples of women considered strong in Africa.

She added the caption: “The definition of ‘strong woman’ in this our African society needs to improve TBH byyyeeeeeee.”
