Image
  On Friday, the internet went in frenzy buzing with mixed reactions and criticisms after President Muhammadu Buhari said his wife belonged in the kitchen, and  “the other room,”  apparently a euphemism for the bedroom.   Recall that the president made the above comment at a press conference after a closed-door meeting, with German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, in response to an interview his wife, Aisha granted the BBC, where she said that his government had been hijacked, adding that she might not support her husband under the present circumstances if he seeks re-election in 2019.   Buhari in his reaction had stated;  “I don’t know which party my wife belongs to, but my wife belongs to my kitchen and my living room and the other room. “It is not easy to do away with opposition or people who did not follow you along your campaign trail.

Some of the text messages received between July 12, 2013 and early 2015 referred to Mwende as an “old hag” who “could not satisfy the old man” and that she lost her “sweetness a long time ago,” thus it was her (Nduku’s) turn to enjoy the old man’s “honey.” She also reportedly insulted Mwende that she is a wi...
