Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo had tackled men who demand that their wives submit to them.

He said that God was referring to women to submit to their husbands while men were advised to love their wives.

The cleric added that some men often ignore the part where God asked them to love their wives and focus on the instruction God gave to women. Pastor Kingsley also shared how he was counselling a couple, and the husband lamented about how his wife did not submit to him.
