Men who ask wives to leave jobs because they earn higher lack self-confidence - Ali Baba
Veteran comedian Ali Baba has taken a stand against men who feel threatened by their partners earning more than they do.
In a passionate post on Instagram, he voiced his frustration regarding the insecurity displayed by some men who equate their self-worth with their financial status.
His comments were sparked by a conversation between two users on X, who discussed instances where women improved their marriages by leaving high-paying jobs for lower-paying ones.
Ali Baba responded critically, ridiculing men who pressure their partners to resign due to jealousy or ego. He referred to such men as “lazy bumcums” and questioned the rationale behind their requests.
The comedian’s remarks quickly gained traction online, igniting discussions about gender dynamics, relationships, and the influence of finances on self-esteem, particularly among men.
He challenged the notion that a man’s confidence should be tied to his financial standing, using examples to illustrate his point. Ali Baba questioned why anyone would ask a successful partner to give up their job, highlighting the absurdity of defining one’s worth through income levels.
His post underscores a broader conversation about how traditional gender roles and financial expectations can impact relationships, urging individuals to embrace their partner’s success rather than feel threatened by it.
As debates continue to unfold, Ali Baba’s strong stance resonates with many who advocate for a more progressive view on partnerships and financial equality.
“All these lies you people are sharing will keeeeee you people soon.
Who are these women who fall for such lies.
If you earn more than your man, let him quit his own job. Nonsense!!!”“Who are these lazy bumcums peddling these stupid narratives?
You are earning N1.5m a month… and your madam is earning 10m monthly. And with that kind of job comes different benefits… you wil tell her to resign.
That means your self-confidence is financially driven and anchored.”“Insecurities my foot.
So, Stedman will tell Oprah Winfrey to resign…
Who is bringing up these men with self esteem that is defined by financial status?
No wonder, once a woman looks rich and exudes prosperity vibes… these sort of mean become weaklings.
Instead of being challenged and driven to upgrade your financial status.
Shiooooor.”
