- "I embody the law": Mola Adebisi proclaims on liberation
In the first fortnight at the mythical jungle camp, Mola Adebisi was noticed primarily for his eagerness to depart the camp promptly. On the 13th day, the ex-moderator of Viva ultimately managed to grab a slice of limelight. Alongside Eric Stehfest, he triumphed over Gigi Birofio and Thorsten Legat in the jungle challenge. However, that wasn't all; Adebisi also voiced his sentiments on feminism. Spoiler: he's not a supporter.
The Mythical Jungle Camp and Feminism: Adebisi's Stance
"I'm not a believer in feminism," he proclaimed. His fellow campers' expressions mirrored a mix of concern about the impending discourse and frustration of having to listen to this. The nearly 51-year-old, who was soon to be a father again, boasted that his wife was his "queen, yet I am the law." So, what does that imply? He might not govern the household, but the roles are unmistakably defined. "But my wife makes it clear when we're both in the car: 'I'm not fueling up this car, it's your job.' She doesn't want to. She's Romanian, that's just how it is there." Adebisi failed to explain why Romanian women are averse to refueling, yet he didn't cease to share his car anecdote.
"I don't wish to do what a woman does. I can't. And a woman shouldn't do what a man does. That's not possible," he asserted, then dived into statistical data. Certain professions are dominated by men, while others are female-dominated. What about a male midwife, he posed to his female confidants.
Sarah Knappik was particularly incensed by Adebisi's statements. She finds his "outdated perspective" challenging. "Who told this guy: This is the woman from the fairy tale, this is the man from the fairy tale. There are many kinds of women, there are many kinds of men. That's perfectly fine," said Knappik.

Gigi Birofio, the famous Italo-macho from dating TV, ingeniously summed up his opinion. While his own father worked and then relaxed, his mother was also responsible for the household chores and raising the children alongside her paid job. In Adebisi's view, a woman is "merely superior to a man," Gigi concluded, and then had some advice for all viewers. "The most crucial thing, folks, is merely to express love. That's it, that's all a child needs," he said.
As for Adebisi's statements, Eric Stehfest remained silent. "I don't wish to comment, or else it'll escalate," he murmured, lounging on the hammock. It's possible he doesn't concur with his fellow camper's viewpoints. Previously, Stehfest has spoken extensively about handling traditional gender roles. He and his wife Edith lead a "modern marriage," to quote from a past interview.
"Despite his bold stance on feminism, Mola Adebisi's courage was evident in his jungle challenge victory."
"Despite Sarah Knappik's disagreement with Adebisi's views on gender roles, she admired his honesty in expressing them."
