Man narrates how his dad burnt down his mum’s shop out of jealousy when she started a successful business

A Twitter user has narrated how his dad razed down his mum’s shop out of jealousy when she started a successful business.

A lady had taken to the micro-blogging platform to blame Nollywood for the misconceptions about the Igbo culture and patriarchy.

According to the lady, contrary to what Nollywood portray about patriarchy, it was built to favor and protect women.

In her words,

“I blame Nollywood for the misconceptions about Igbo culture. Patriarchy was basically built to favour and protect women, but the picture painted makes it seem like women are oppressed. Well, people like negative stories”.
