Alibaba Lambasts ‘Insecure’ Nigerian Men As He Reacts To Reports Of Women Quitting Their Jobs Because They Earn More Than Their Husbands
Veteran Nigerian comedian Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, often known as Alibaba, has criticised ‘lazy’ insecure Nigerian men, specifically those who feel threatened by their women earning more than them.
In a fiery post shared on his Instagram, the comic actor expressed frustration with men who allow their self-worth to be defined by financial status.
The comedian shared a couple of tweets that went viral several years ago. The tweets were encouraging women to quit their higher-earning jobs because their income is making their husbands insecure and inadequate.
Alibaba weighed in, challenging the veracity of such allegations and if women today are susceptible to such manipulative tactics.
He mocked men who would ask their higher-earning partners to resign from their jobs out of jealousy or ego, while encouraging women who make far more than their spouses to stop quitting their jobs to massage their men’s egos.
He sarcastically referred to these men as “lazy bumcums” and questioned the logic behind their demands.
He went further to urge insecure men to quit their careers instead.
The comment has since gone viral, sparking debates online about gender roles, relationships, and how finances can affect self-esteem, particularly for men.

“All these lies you people are sharing will keeeeee you people soon. Who are these women who fall for such lies.
If you earn more than your man, let him quit his own job. Nonsense!!!
Who are these lazy bumcums peddling these stupid narratives?You are earning N1.5m a month… and your madam is earning 10m monthly. And with that kind of job comes different benefits… you will tell her to resign.
That means your self-confidence is financially driven and anchored. Insecurities my foot.
So, Stedman will tell Oprah Winfrey to resign… Who is bringing up these men with self esteem that is defined by financial status?
No wonder, once a woman looks rich and exudes prosperity vibes… these sort of mean become weaklings.
Instead of being challenged and driven to upgrade your financial status. Shiooooor,”
he wrote.
