Are financial resources necessary for masculinity?
In the ever-evolving world we live in, traditional gender roles are being challenged and redefined, with women making significant strides in education, employment, and financial independence. However, a financial gap persists between genders, with men still earning more in the workforce.
This week, our website broadcasts a series of discussions aimed at exploring these shifts and the pressure on men to 'provide'. The Street Debate, hosted by Edith Kimani, delves into money, masculinity, and relationships with young Nigerians. The series airs on SUN 07.09.2025 from 09:30 UTC to 11:30 UTC, and on MON 08.09.2025 from 07:30 UTC to 13:30 UTC, with a special episode on WED 10.09.2025 at 19:30 UTC.
Participants share raw opinions, personal stories, and surprising perspectives, shedding light on the changing dynamics of relationships and the roles different genders play in them. One such trailblazer is Nora Awolowo, a self-taught Nigerian cinematographer who carves her own path in the male-dominated film industry. Nora, like Rita Edochie, another Nigerian woman, has made her mark through creativity and technical skill. Both women are shining examples of resilience and determination.
However, the financial independence of women doesn't always translate to smooth sailing in personal relationships. Ugandan music star Cindy Sanyu faces challenges in maintaining her career and relationship due to earning more than her husband. Cindy shares advice on how to maintain a successful career without alienating a partner.
Money is indeed becoming a game-changer in how young couples view relationships, with the traditional notion of men as the primary breadwinners being questioned. Yet, challenges persist in certain regions, such as Cameroon, where high maternal mortality rates continue to be a concern.
Organisations like Linda Takou, based in Cameroon, are working tirelessly to empower safer births across the country. Linda Takou's efforts are a testament to the power of determination and the importance of addressing these issues head-on.
