Nigerian lawyer and pastor’s wife, Jemimah Ifeng, emphasizes the husband’s duty to provide for the family in marriage, while acknowledging the significance of wives who wish to contribute financially on a voluntary basis.
Addressing husbands directly, Ifeng highlights that the concept of submission in marriage has nothing to do with a wife’s financial contributions. Rather, she stresses that it is the husband’s primary responsibility to ensure the well-being of the family through provision and support.
Her post garners significant attention and sparks discussions on gender roles and responsibilities within the institution of marriage.
She writes: “Husbands, Submission In Marriage Has Nothing To Do With Your Wife’s Money. It’s Your Duty To Provide, Whatever Help She Wants To Give Should Be Voluntary.”

@Anonymous said; “I thought marriage is the union of two people to become one in love. Why is it all of a sudden every attempt is being channelled to bring a strife in the relationships of the gullible few? Women cannot be preaching equality on one hand and want to be treated as princess on the other hand. Equality comes with responsibilities. How can any sane human advocate that a man should carry all the responsibilities in this harsh economy and make a working woman’s expenses on HER family discretionary? With this kind of attitude, that’s why a man’s family will treat a wife like a liability if any happens to the man.”
@Anonymous said; “Dey play… Na Nigeria mentality still dey do you. Come to Canada and say your money is voluntary, una no go qualify for mortgage talkless of anything productive.”
