A Nigerian lawyer has sparked controversy with her recent advice to women on social media. In a post made on Wednesday, the lawyer urged wives to greet their husbands first thing in the morning and to thank them after every meal.
She emphasized that a husband should be regarded as a visible representation of God in a woman's life. The lawyer's message stated, “As a wife, the first thing you should do once you wake up from sleep is to greet your husband 'Good morning, honey or sir.' When you are done eating food and if he's with you, you must thank him for the food. Your husband is your God that you are seeing.”
This advice has elicited strong reactions online, with many people criticizing her views as outdated and patriarchal. Some commenters argued that such advice undermines the value and independence of women, while others supported the notion, citing traditional values. The post has sparked a broader discussion about gender roles and the dynamics of respect within marriage, highlighting the ongoing debate between modern and traditional views on marital relationships in Nigeria.
