Actor cum filmmaker Ernest Obi has said that any man who does not satisfy his wife sexually should be locked up for three months.
The Idemili director said this in a recent post on Instagram while reacting to the case of Joy Emmanuel, an Akwa Ibom woman who was recently arrested and paraded for allegedly plotting the kidnap of her husband, Emmanuel Ebong.
The 40-year-old woman had told news reporters that her husband not only allegedly starved her of sex but also refused to provide for the family.
Reacting to her statement, Ernest Obi said he is in support of Joy’s action if her husband indeed starved her of sex as she claimed.
The 52-year-old added that although he does not endorse kidnapping or other forms of criminal activities, it is wrong for a man to deny his spouse sex and children the care they need. He said:
“Her first reason is the most cogent for me. And if it’s true, I support her. Any man who does not satisfy someone’s daughter sexually should be locked up in a room for 3 months,” he wrote on Instagram.
“What does my wife @eviernestobi call it again… husbandly duties… I sincerely don’t know where she got those words from…but I agree with it. Wholeheartedly.
“But jokes apart. Though I will never support kidnapping for any reason, I think it’s wrong in all ramifications to deprive your spouse and children of the care they deserve… sexual etc. I pray she finds peace.

Ernest and his wife Evi got married on May 30, 2010. Shortly after their wedding, Evi joked that they plan to have 24 children.
The couple now have three kids.
