Having said his wife 'belongs to his kitchen', is President Muhammadu Buhari fanning the flames over #TheOtherRoom? a great cartoon has summed up the problems faced by the president.
A reporter for Reuters news agency in Lagos has shared this cartoon from the Business Day newspaper, depicting the different challenges President Muhammadu Buhari is taking on as fires.
There is a fire called "corruption", one called "Boko Haram", one referring to a secessionist movement for Biafra (MASSOB) and even one representing his own APC party.
"I don't know which party my wife belongs to, but she belongs to my kitchen and my living room and the other room," he said while on a visit to Germany, standing next to Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is arguably the most powerful woman in the world.
His comments sent social media into meltdown, causing #theotherroom to trend on Twitter, with many critical of what they saw as an outdated portrayal of women's role in society.
So is President Buhari trying to blow the fire out, or get it going?
By declining to apologize for his comments, and appearing to stand by them, perhaps the cartoonist is implying that the president is fanning the flames of the controversy.
