He expressed this opinion in response to a trending story about a man who forced his wife to leave her job because she was more successful. Questioning the validity of the story, Ali Baba remarked that the self-worth of such men is tied to their financial standing, making them feel inadequate around successful women.
In a post on Instagram, he suggested that if a woman earns significantly more, it should be the man who considers quitting his job, not her. He said, “Who are these women falling for such nonsense? If you earn N10 million a month and your husband makes N1.5 million, why would you resign? It shows the man's confidence is tied to money.
“So, should Stedman tell Oprah Winfrey to quit? Who raises men whose self-esteem depends on financial success? Instead of feeling challenged, they should strive to improve their own financial situation.”
