Taking to her Instagram account, the 2016 Ambassador For Peace Award recipient wrote: “I weep for women of this era. During our time, once we find out that our men cheat on us, we will kick against it with full force, yell at him, starve him sexually, give him certain attitudes he won’t find comfortable, and if he refuses to stop cheating, we will walk away from the marriage or relationship, irrespective of who he thinks he is or how much he thinks he has adding, “Ladies, you can do better! Now, it’s high time you started proving to your men that money does not buy respect.”

She however preached against women being housewives with total dependence on their husbands.

“I have been saying this though, ladies have something you do that fetches you money, be a boss, sail your own ship by yourself, so you can comfortably tackle a man who keeps messing up.

“It is only when you depend on your man for survival that you will have no say when he begins to trample on your emotions as a woman. Please plan yourselves, biko, maka na tata bu gboo.”

Rita Edochie who began her acting career in 1997 after making a debut in Waterloo where she played the role of a mother, has featured in over 100 movies since then including Evil men, Igodo, Personal Assignment and Dangerous mind among legion of others.
