Legendary comedian Ali Baba takes aim at insecure men, particularly those who feel that women are earning more money than they are.
The comedian, who calls such behavior insecure, vented his annoyance at guys who let their financial status determine their value in an intense Instagram post. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In response to a conversation between two X users, he made his statement. The users described how women were able to save their marriages by taking lower-paying professions instead of high-paying ones.
Alibaba responded by making fun of men who, out of vanity or jealousy, would ask their higher-earning partners to quit from their jobs. He ridiculed these men, calling them “lazy bumcums,” and questioned the reason for their requests.
The comment has since gone viral, sparking debates online about gender roles, relationships, and how finances can affect self-esteem, particularly for men.
“All these lies you people are sharing will keeeeee you people soon.
Who are these women who fall for such lies.
If you earn more than your man, let him quit his own job. Nonsense!!!
Who are these lazy bumcums peddling these stupid narratives?
You are earning N1.5m a month… and your madam is earning 10m monthly. And with that kind of job comes different benefits… you wil tell her to resign.
That means your self-confidence is financially driven and anchored.
Insecurities my foot.
So, Stedman will tell Oprah Winfrey to resign…
Who is bringing up these men with self esteem that is defined by financial status?
No wonder, once a woman looks rich and exudes prosperity vibes… these sort of mean become weaklings.
Instead of being challenged and driven to upgrade your financial status.
Shiooooor,” he wrote.
