Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has slammed her nephew, Yul Edochie’s wife, Judy Austin, over her question about the red cap.
Kemi Filani reported a few days ago that Judy had questioned whether it was proper for a woman without an Igbo title to wear a red cap.
Taking to her Instagram page, Edochie questioned who Judy is to lecture the public on traditional matters. She pointed out the irony in which Judy is asking questions about the tradition of women wearing red caps, while she was sleeping with a married man while being married.
She said if a woman like Judy can disrespectfully kidnap another woman’s husband in broad daylight and run into the bush, why can’t a woman wear a red cap?
“Is it proper for a married woman in her husband’s house to abduct another married woman’s husband in her home? I just want to know.
Aunty traditionalist, I refuse to follow your words and not mind your actions. You can’t be a thief and expect me to learn morals from you. If you used to be a thief and later turned a new leaf, then perhaps your advice would carry some weight because experience is often a good teacher. But to remain in the very same sin, swimming in it morning, afternoon and night, and still have the guts to advise me against certain things.
It’s not only appalling but a big slap on the face of common decency. That’s an improper fraction now. It’s hypocrisy in the highest order.
Now I humbly ask, is it proper for a woman to abduct another woman’s husband and sneak into the bush with him for over four years now? I am only asking because sometime last year, the same person came out to advise women and young girls on how to stay in their husbands’ houses, even though she could not stay in her lawfully wedded husband’s house, which helped direct her future. How exactly, bikonu? What tangible advice can likely come out of a desperate home wrecker?
Who are you to lecture on traditional matters? Is it not the same tradition that says a woman can’t sleep with another man while she is in her man’s house? Even the Bible talks about itself.
If a woman can disrespectfully kidnap another woman’s husband in broad daylight and run into the bush, what is a red cap that she cannot wear?
Or are you planning to wear the red cap, but just asking if you can wear it? Sometimes I wonder whether we are listening to a lecture or watching a live demonstration of contradiction.
How can the referee be committing fouls and still be blowing the whistle on everybody else?
How can an examiner fail the same examination she is setting for others? The irony is so rich that it deserves its own chieftaincy title.
People should at least practice what they preach.
It is only in Nigeria that someone with the dirtiest linen can come out”.
