Talented Nollywood actress and the CEO of ROK Studios, Mary Njoku, has taken to social media to share her thoughts on how women in society are viewed.
According to her, women are not robots who are expected to work like they do not have children but also expected to raise their children like they do not have jobs.

The film star went on to talk about a friend's husband who complained about his wife not helping him out but rather staying at home with their four kids doing nothing.
This angered Njoku and appears to have inspired her rant about the unrealistic standards women are held to.

Recall in March, the actress took to social media to defend her husband, Jason Njoku, after he was criticised.
Jason was called out by some Nigerians for paying his staff who are graduates, a meagre sum of money in comparison to what he is able to pay for his children’s school fees.
According to Mary in an Instagram post, people needed to stop quoting educational qualification and start working on what they could contribute to their employers.
