A man on X triggered outrage after posting, “Once I notice say woman dey movie wey I dey watch and no be house help she do, I dey always vex for the directors.” In simple terms, he was saying that any time a woman in a movie is not playing a housemaid, it annoys him. The comment drew heavy criticism because it reduces women to one degrading role and implies that their rightful place is to serve others. This mindset does not only insult women in film, it reflects a broader belief that women should not occupy positions of power, intelligence, or independence. Movies are meant to reflect real life, where women are professionals, leaders, and complex human beings. Treating their presence outside domestic servitude as something wrong makes the post deeply misogynistic and controversial.
