Nollywood actress and youth advocate, Hilda Dokubo, has called out President Muhammadu Buhari over his statement that his wife, Aisha, “belongs in the kitchen, the living room and the other rooms in my house.”
In a video uploaded on Instagram on Sunday, Hilda insisted that she, like other women, does not belong in any part of a house
“My name is Hilda Dokubo and I am a woman. I do not belong to the kitchen, I go to the kitchen to fix food for my family and myself,” she began
Obviously getting riled up, Hilda pronounced “I do not belong to the other room because I don’t know where the other room is in my house except it sounds like the toilet. I cannot belong to the toilet. I am woman. I deserve my right to be a human being.”
The Unfaithful actress took a break from acting when she served as special adviser on youth affairs to former Governor Peter Odili of Rivers State.
She was also one of the principal organisers of the thanksgiving service of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the victory of incumbent Governor Nyesom Wike at the Supreme Court.
Her return to Nollywood earned her Best Actress in a Supporting Role at the 11th Africa Movie Academy Awards held in September 2015 for her part in Diminas Dagogo’s Stigma.
She also stars as tough-talking Superintendent Ebenezer in Kunle Afolayan’s pan-African mystery thriller, The CEO.
The University of Port Harcourt alumnus is married to Karo Mrakpor.
She was separated from her husband for a while but they have since settled their differences and are back together.
