Actor Shawn Faqua's wife Sharon in a viral interview tackled those who shame women for proudly introducing themselves with their husband’s name. She condemned the growing trend of mocking wives who love their homes and honor their marriages, saying it’s unfair to label them as “unenjoying” or “old‑fashioned.” She referenced a viral video of a married woman who accompanied her husband to a hotel and brought home‑cooked food instead of paying ₦15,000 for a plate of rice.
Trolls mocked the woman online, but Sharon defended her, saying, “If a woman chooses to cook for her husband, that’s her joy, not a crime.” Sharon also mentioned her friend Ebere, who cooked coconut rice and turkey even while working abroad in London and Albania. She said Ebere finds fulfillment in cooking for her husband, while she (Sharon) gets tired sometimes and that’s perfectly fine because “women are different.”
She added, “Maybe we should learn to mind our business. If I say my name is Mrs. Faqua, that’s my name. They paid my bride price. Why should I be ashamed? It’s my personal choice.” Sharon concluded proudly, saying she loves being called “Mrs. Faqua,” “Nwunye Shawn,” or “Mrs. Shawn Faqua.”
