“There Is Nothing Wrong With a Husband Cooking for the Family” - Imo First Lady Chioma Uzodimma Sparks Conversation on Gender Roles
Imo First Lady Chioma Uzodimma has sparked debate after saying both sons and daughters should be taught how to cook, insisting there’s no rule that says only women belong in the kitchen.
The First Lady of Imo State, Chioma Uzodimma, has ignited conversations online after speaking against the belief that cooking should be the sole responsibility of women in the home.
Speaking on family values and parenting, Uzodimma said there is absolutely nothing wrong with a husband cooking for his wife and children, stressing that preparing meals should not be viewed as a gender-specific duty. According to her:
“There is nothing wrong with a husband cooking for the family. Women should also teach both their sons and daughters how to cook. There is no rule that says only women should cook for the family.”
The Imo First Lady emphasized that cooking is a basic life skill that every child should learn, regardless of gender. She encouraged parents to raise sons and daughters who are both capable of taking care of themselves and supporting their families when necessary.
Her comments have resonated with many Nigerians, especially amid ongoing debates about gender roles in marriage and shared domestic responsibilities. While many social media users praised her for promoting equality and practical life skills, others maintained that household responsibilities should be determined by what works best for each family rather than societal expectations.
Although opinions remain divided, Uzodimma’s remarks have added fresh view to a long-running conversation about marriage, parenting, and the importance of equipping both boys and girls with essential life skills.
