Kiekie, renowned for her bold personality and humorous takes on social issues, recently emphasized the importance of self-determination and pursuing one’s dreams. “I am the one who should fight for my dreams and work towards what I want to achieve. I won’t be using anyone as a backup plan,” she firmly stated.
The Nigerian actress, content creator, and media personality opened up about societal expectations and gender roles in marriage during her appearance on the “I Said What I Said” podcast. In an honest conversation, she shared some unsolicited comments she received after tying the knot, particularly surrounding her fashion choices.
Further discussing gender expectations, Kiekie stressed the importance of a mindset shift among women. “We have a long way to go because the key issue is that women need to be reoriented and get it right. You can’t give what you don’t have. We can’t expect things from men; the change has to come from us, the women,” she added.
Reflecting on one of the more humorous experiences post-marriage, she recalled receiving remarks such as, “You don’t dress like a married woman.” In response, she Googled, “What is the dress code for a married woman?” but found no guidelines. This, she pointed out, illustrates how societal norms often attempt to control women’s appearances and behaviors.
