Reno Omokri, a controversial human rights activist and prolific writer, claims that no woman is behind every successful man.
The proverb, he believes, is a falsehood. He believes that a successful man’s success is the result of many years of failure.
Reno claims that the successful man’s current achievement would not have occurred if he had focused on women.
He expressed himself as follows:
“Dear men,
Behind every successful man, there is not a woman. That proverb is a lie. Rather, behind almost every successful man, are many unsuccessful years. And if he had focused on women in those years, his present success would not have manifested. So, never think that love alone, without success, can keep a woman with you. Love alone is not enough to keep a marriage afloat. Especially where children are involved. Once a woman has a child, her umbilical love for that child is likely to be stronger than her emotional love for you. If you can’t care for that child, because of poverty, she may cheat on you with a man who will!”
