In the wake of Tiwa Savage and TeeBillz‘s marriage crisis and the outcome of other related issues, seasoned entertainer – Charly Boy argued that men are the weaker sex on his Facebook page.
Five things he said stand out.
“How many of us can control our emotions that we resort
to using our wives as punching bags, abusing alcohol, or other methods
of lashing out because we are not emotionally strong enough to hold our
cool.
To some extent he is right going by what Tiwa Savage said about her hubby in her controversial interview.
TeeBillz’s alleged use of cocaine, getting drunk most of the time and
womanizing were just ways of a futile attempt at escaping what he was
feeling since when he was a kid which is depression.
Also the feeling of guilt cheating on Tiwa Savage and seeing her
slipping from his fingers after building a fortune together with her
could have been the spark for such radical behaviour towards his wife
and his failed suicide attempt.
2. “Men are big babies because they always want
everything to be about them and the women know this and know how to
massage/manipulate our ego.”
We also agree with this as TeeBillz himself revealed during his
social media meltdown that Tiwa Savage was now a superstar who no longer
needed him.
So because it was less about ‘TeeBillz the manager of Tiwa Savage’, it now more of Tiwa Savage’s husband.
He felt degraded from someone who called the shots to an accessory.
He wanted Tiwa Savage to massage his ego as highlighted by Charly Boy with the ‘You made me’ speech.
3. “A lot of us can’t keep up with both working a full
time job and managing a household, raising children to the extent that
women do everyday. I know some of you would say, that’s not a man’s
department.”
From writing songs, recording them, granting interviews, going on
tours across the world and so on Tiwa Savage has more than a full time
job and she had still had time to take care of little Jamil and TeeBillz
had just one job – make sure she makes money off all of this and he
messed it up big time.
4. “Men are also much more likely to commit suicide than
women and have a greater chance of being murdered or dying in an
accident.”
According to Wikipedia ‘While females tend to show higher rates of
reported nonfatal suicidal behavior and suicide ideation, males have a
much higher rate of completed suicides’
So this is factually true.
5. “Most men can’t really control their sexual urge,
that’s why some of us can have sex even with our housemaids or anything
in skirts.”
In a research comparing male and female sex drives, Roy Baumeister, a
social psychologist at Florida State University, found that men
reported more spontaneous sexual arousal and had more frequent and
varied fantasies.
We can see this in TeeBillz seeking solace in ‘edible catering’ whenever Aunty Tiwa is out of the country.
But in any case, what does it matter? Women have only been strong. Some men just need to get with the program.
