Anto has had a peculiar way of embracing the responsibility Big Brother has given them. At the beginning, she saw the task as a burden but she has soon highlighted a couple of social challenges facing women in societies were they’re expected to conceive without the psychological preparation.
During her conversation with Ahneeka, the two spoke about the disadvantages of the societal expectations that result in women having children solely based on the fact that they’ve reached child bearing age.
Cee-C on her part was of the opinion that modern men are not too comfortable and tolerant of women who display high levels of independence. She also mentioned how a man once told her that he wouldn’t marry her because of how she carried herself, viewing her independence as a defect.
The men in the #bbnaija house however held a different opinion. They mentioned that independence is an attractive trait and instead of pushing them away, such an attitude actually pulls them in.
Tobi went on further to elaborate and discredit Anto’s theory that men in Nigeria promoted dependence. He used his father as an example and mentioned how his father took care of the main financial elements of the Household and has never heard his mother asking for petty things that she could have taken care of.
They all came to the conclusion that taking care of a Household, be it financial or otherwise, is a dual responsibility.
It seems like the Baby task is putting the two differently dimensioned perspectives into a gender neutral opinion. Both the ladies and the men appear to be adapting and equally taking responsibility, with no signs of over burdening their partners.
Miracle however seems to be the weak link as he is busy nursing his former Household and paying a little less attention on the task at hand. In all, it seems like Big brother has been able to balance the responsibility scales in the #bbnaija house.
