- Mixed reactions have trailed a certain statement media personality, Moet Abebe made on a recent podcast.
- She said she can only date a man who can cook exceptionally well.
- This turned into a debate amongst netizens on social media.
Popular Nigerian media personality, Moet Abebe, has stirred controversy online following her recent appearance on a podcast where she shared her expectations for the men she would consider dating.
In the episode, Moet made it clear that she would not entertain the idea of dating a man who lacks culinary skills, stating that many men find themselves stuck in unfulfilling relationships simply because they can’t cook.
Taking the conversation further, the podcast’s host suggested that some women may use food as a way to trap men who wouldn’t normally consider dating them.
Moet Abebe agreed, but was quick to clarify that her concern wasn’t with basic dishes like Egusi, which she claimed “anyone can cook.” Instead, she stressed that men should possess top-notch cooking abilities before they would even catch her interest.
Moet’s statements stirred a wave of reactions from listeners and social media users, leading to a debate on gender roles and expectations in relationships.
One user, ray_adeka, commented, “Cooking is a basic survival skill. Everyone should know how to cook their own meals. Everyone!”
Another user, shes_precious, expressed frustration with the podcast’s focus, stating,
“Using men as a topic on a podcast doesn’t seem intelligent to me. There are several things happening in the world to talk about, so why should it be men?”
On a lighter note, c.O.b.z admired the uniqueness of the podcast’s style, saying,
“This particular podcast comes with its own unique accent and I love it.”
However, the debate wasn’t without its critics. michael pointed out the double standards in relationships, remarking, “When they see a man who does everything for himself, they still complain, saying ‘he doesn’t need me.’ Oya, what do you want?”
The conversation also touched on cultural perceptions, with bigbronaijaa noting, “The person originally from the UK speaks Pidgin, while our own homebred Naija girl forms an accent..?
As the debate rages on, nene_george summed up the fatigue many feel over ongoing relationship discussions, saying, “Make everyone just do as they like, me I’m tired of these relationship talks. Ike agulam o!!!”
