"Make everybody do his house as he pleases. All I know is we form woke on twitter but in our respect homes, we do the needful. Every tribe and faith knows and respect that the man is the head of the family. If your wife is now the head of your own nuclear family na you sabi."

@Sir_vali said:
"This is not exactly true, at a point you would practically seek permission from your spouse [each-other], if both of you claim to submit to each other and have become one. Let alone if one claims to be the head or lead."
@rit4life1 said:
"I don't I can go out without my husband permission sir. Even if he's out of town, I must call him for permission before going out..... It's my duty as a wife to respect my husband."
@Godknows0808 said:
"I don’t agree to this, when you request your wife hand in marriage, you meet her family and they hand her over to you to love and protect her, so you turn to be her father her mother and it’s your right to protect her, yes she need permissions to go out from the husband..."
@asighameh replied:
"Na wa ooo. So because you married her, she has no freedom to make her own decision as an adult?"
Couple showed themselves love
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian couple expressing their love for each other as they sang along to Judy Boucher's Can't Be With You Tonight melted hearts online.
The woman sat on her husband's legs as they sang passionately. While all this was going on, the wife kept petting her husband's head until his cap fell off.
The energy they both exuded shows that they must really be in love with each other. Nigerians who reacted to the video shared on Instagram said the song is popular with their old parents too.
