‘Family tradition forbids I share house chores with wife’

Ace actor, Yemi Ayebo, also known as Yemi My Lover, has said his family tradition forbids that he shared house.

The actor, in an interview with The Punch, said fatherhood means a lot to him.

He said, “As a father, you have a lot of responsibilities on you; to take care of yourself, in particular, your wife, children and the entire family and to do things that will make you look responsible and people will say that truly, this is a father. It’s not a small task at all.

“It’s a big challenge. A lot of men cannot be referred to as fathers because of the kind of life they live. As a father, you have the responsibility to take care of your family and even society at large.”

On house helping his wife for house chores, he said, “How can I be helping my wife with chores? For what? The only thing I did was that I planted vegetables behind the house because I like greens. I water them in the morning and night. I also planted yam and pepper.

“At least, with that, I believe that I have supported her so that she wouldn’t have to go far before getting some of these items. In the family I come from, it’s not permitted.”
