Former governor of Niger State, Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu, has said though it is widely held that the place of the woman is in the kitchen, “men also belong there.”

Recall President Muhammadu Buhari had in Germany, while speaking to reporters said that women belonged to the kitchen and the inner room in reply to his wife’s protest that some unknown politicians had hijacked her husband’s administration. Babangida Aliyu spoke in Minna, Niger State capital, at the annual lecture series organised by Newgate College of Technology.

According to Babangida Aliyu,“Looking at the issue critically, and in Islamic terms, it is actually the man that should be in the kitchen as provided for in the Holy Quran.

The woman should only be in the ‘inner room,’ while the men should provide all the needs of the woman, including making purchases from the market for the use of the family. Islam does not permit women to go out indiscriminately, as they are supposed to be in the house taking care of the children.”
