"With all due respect, this does not make any sense...this is simply gross patriarchy...unfortunately, those days have passed. The ultimate goal of modern age women is not just to be called a wife anymore...women now achieve so much more and they are beginning to chose their happiness and emotional well being."

"He shouldn't also forget to put condoms in my handbags too, on my way to work."
teggyben:
"Not right sir In this new generation the commitment to keep a home should come from the two persons involved not only a wife always trying to fix a home and the husband keeps misbehaving cause he feels whatever he does will be forgiven....there’s a limit to what a person can endure."

"As a man, I'll say it first hand that this is terrible advice and derogatory to women. The man would just take it as a tacit acceptance from you and he'll even feel more relaxed about it. To stop a man from cheating, build your value in the relationship to a point where he's genuinely afraid to lose you because he knows he'll never find anyone else like you. Invest all your creative energy there and you'll get your results. This advice is as outdated as the wisdom of solomon. Try marrying 1000 wives and 700 concubines today and see how far. The only thing I agree with is that women haven't been creative. Come make I teach una how to keep a man. It's not rocket science. Women have just been going about it the wrong way because quite frankly, most women don't really know men but there's so much talk about how men don't know women. If men don't know women, how come most men have atleast 3 women each?"
jequelincyril:
"The same way African men see women as inferior is exactly the same way the whites see blacks as inferior to them. It's so shameful that we still reason like this. Those days most women were house wives doing nothing. Today some women earn more than their husbands and still love and respect them yet you want the bread winner to put condoms in your bag. Lol our mumu don do."
iduke_of_coastline:
"People see you as an icon but your level of patriarchy is way beyond me. I’m really disappointed."
paragoneffect:
"Now I understand the saying when a woman stands up for herself she stands up for women everywhere. If this man’s wife and many women who face things like this everyday had stood up for themselves, there’s no way on earth he’d be uttering these absolutely demeaning statements. Women wake up!! Nobody deserves to be thought of how much more treated or regarded in this manner. Being constantly downgraded no dey tire Una?"
