Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw took to her official Instagram page to say her piece. The film star showed support for Senator Natasha Akpoti with a lengthy piece about strong women.
The post talked about how women are seen as weak and forced to be relegated to the background due to religion, society and tradition. Kate Henshaw concluded her post by saying women are offsprings of countless women warriors.
She wrote in part:
“We are told we are weak, we are spineless, and cannot think.
We accept the new role foisted on us, the subtle submission imposed by religion, by society, by tradition.
They tell us we cannot govern, we cannot rule, we cannot make our own decisions.
They tell us to shut up and sit down.Women like children are to be seen not heard.
Do you not know that in nearly all species, the female is much more deadly than the male? We are the offspring of countless women-warriors!!💪 #endofdiscussion”

“Hello Kate. We support the feminine cause. But please Natasha blew it big time by mixing those two issues up at the same time. She should have reported the harassment long ago. What she’s doing now is pure blackmail. Have a good day.”
