British-Ghanaian singer, Lola Rae, has disagreed with Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s submission concerning women who have poor cooking skills.
Adeboye, during the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) convention held in August 2016, Pastor Adeboye advised single men not to marry women who cannot cook, that are lazy and cannot pray for at least one hour. Rae, in an interview with Sunday Scoop on August 14, 2016 stated that cooking for a man is not compulsory. According to her, it should be done only if there is an opportunity to do so.
“Yes, I was brought up in a home where my mum cooked for my dad every single day, but she was a housewife.” “My thought is if you have the time, it is okay to cook for your husband, but in a situation where you are a career woman and don’t have the time to cook, there are ways you can go about it.” “You can hire someone to do the cooking for you or cook in bulk on weekends and store in the freezer”, she said. Concerning her opinion about Adeboye’s comments, the singer observed that everyone is entitled to an opinion which should not necessarily determine how others live. “I think it is his opinion and he is entitled to his opinion and if that’s what he feels like the Lord is telling him, then that’s his own message but if there are other people who feel they don’t want their wives to do that and want their wives to support them and that’s what they feel it is their story, then that should happen. I feel that’s his opinion.”
Lola Rae shot to limelight upon the release of her debut single “Watch My Ting Go”, which was met to critical acclaim and thus earned her a nominee spot in the “Most Promising Female Act to Watch” category at the 2013 Nigeria Entertainment Awards.
