Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, also known as Kiekie, a Nigerian comedian and skitmaker, has claimed that she and her husband share financial responsibility for rent and other household expenditures.
Kiekie revealed this in a recent interview with media personality Toke Makinwa. She explained that she wouldn’t feel comfortable staying in a house if she didn’t contribute to the rent.
The mother of one said that sharing the financial burden of rent would allow equal ownership of the property, so that in the event of a quarrel, everything would be shared evenly.
Toke, on the other hand, claimed that she does not believe in splitting rent with a man. In response, Kiekie stated that it is acceptable for a woman not to contribute if she doesn’t have the means, but she believes that if a woman can afford it, she can share the financial burden.

Her words,
“On my birthday fly me to Dubai, fly me to Barcelona, buy me Fendi bags, that’s beautiful. But that I won’t pay rent won’t be possible. So that when we want to fight, you carry chair, I’ll carry television, we will share everything equal. You can’t tell me get out of my house, nothing like get out of my house. We are living together”
Speaking further, Kiekie asserted that sharing the financial responsibility would make a man respect his wife.
“I tell women this. How would you be living in a house and you are not paying rent? To me, it doesn’t make sense”
