Nigerian women are hardly ever "jobless". They either engage in paid labour or unpaid labour.

Unpaid labour; childcare, house-keeping, cooking etc can be a full time job. Just not a paid one. https://twitter.com/DrOlufunmilayo/status/1295136704924442624
No matter what I tell myself,there is serious work to being a full time homemaker.

When all a persons intellectual energy/bandwidth is completely dedicated to making his/her spouses/children's lives more comfortable, it slaps different.
Imagine for a minute if women across the globe stopped doing all the domestic, unpaid labor they do day after day: the cooking, cleaning, child care, laundry, shopping, etc. The global economy would collapse and society would stop functioning.
