Jenny I go fight you oh wetin dey wrong with my name? At least me sef dey call am queen I agree to something though, the food mentality that only the husband should eat 'correct food' while the kids eat the basic stuff is utter foolishness. Why should a grown man be consuming ample portions of meat and growing children are denied protein all in the name of 'serving' the father? After the children now suffer stunted brain development and don't pass in school, the parents will now start making noise, what nonsense. |

studio43: u talk am well. the right that he deserves. It's not somethiing you earn just because u are a man or my husband, You didn't do me a favor by getting married to me so I don't owe you any form of gratitude neither do I have to worship you. If you nor marry me, I am sure another would have, so you haven't done something so special others haven't been doing before! |

Why all the surprise? it sounds like you people didn't grow up in naija. . .or is it really that strange to y'all? fine it may not be the best to order the woman and kids around, but if that is the social order they have grown up with and it suits the family, who are you to impose your own views? If the wife and the kids are doing it willingly (the wife following the example she got from her own home) then it is up to them. Not everyone has a burning need to be 'liberated' or 'modern' like y'all. |

@Debo, I really beg to differ. its different when u respect ur dad and obey him than when he becomes a total dictator and u shiver at the sight of him. what kind of upbringing is that? |
Re: A Wife Referring To Her Husband As "my Lord" by Nobody: 8:35pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
i wonder ooo,busta wat kinda upbringing is dat one |
Re: A Wife Referring To Her Husband As "my Lord" by debosky(m): 8:37pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
The man was being gruff and telling them to get things for him - how does that make him a dictator? Did he threaten them with the force of violence if they did not obey? I was a bit scared of my dad when I was little, but as I grew older I got to know him better and developed a wholesome relationship. I think you are reading a WHOLE LOT more into this scene that you witnessed and may even be projecting something else you've seen/experienced. One question - did the wife appear to be doing it out of fear or coercion? If not, then what is the basis of fear? Kids sit up and behave when daddy is around, thats a very typical situation in Nigeria. . .I do not see much else in the scene you painted unless you left out other things. |

jennykadry: yes i know there are lotsa unfortunate aged women who pay dowry to make sure her name enter for names of peeps wey don marry even though the man no love her. but she still must give the man all the respect he deserves as ordered by the holy book. or else, |
Re: A Wife Referring To Her Husband As "my Lord" by ty4real(m): 8:38pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
Why should my wife use my Lord for me ,I will be so embarrassed. Am sure this my Lord thing is only applicable in Africa,Not in Europe |
Re: A Wife Referring To Her Husband As "my Lord" by Nobody: 8:39pm On Jun 16, 2008 |

Re: A Wife Referring To Her Husband As "my Lord" by Nobody: 8:44pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
all hail the master of the house a classic throwback to those days when Men were men, children were seen and not heard, and a womans place was in the kitchen and then the bedroom - so those days are still with us! hooray! . there are still some of us who haven't been completely emasculated by feminism and liberalism - my home is my castle - therefore i am the king! |

studio43:tell that to the birds |
Re: A Wife Referring To Her Husband As "my Lord" by Busta(f): 8:50pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
@ debo, Everyone is eating but the man would rather go on eating and be ordering his kids and wife to leavfe their food and tend to him first before they go back to their food and they barely went back to the food when the man is shouting for wash hand water . . why not stand the "F" up and go inside the kitchen to wash ur hands like a human being. I don't know what to call that if not dictatorship . . . besides, my parents were not or neva like that with us. we respected and do the right thing when my parents are home but not running under the bed and wait till the old is out the door again. |
Re: A Wife Referring To Her Husband As "my Lord" by whitelexi(m): 8:56pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
Busta: it is not a matter of dictatorship. . . The woman has come to a stage in life when she has decided to over-respect her husband. . . it is not the man, it is the woman showing her love |
Re: A Wife Referring To Her Husband As "my Lord" by hotchic1(f): 9:00pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
Irrespective of culture or something,i still don't think its right or a lady to address her husband using the word "my lord". Anyway sha,provide the woman is alright with the woman,then no probs. |
Re: A Wife Referring To Her Husband As "my Lord" by ty4real(m): 9:03pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
whitelexi: I disagree here,in actual sense,it is mixture of both culture and Dictatorship.Love is the least on it,but this was the scenario with the old school African fathers oo,Things are changing !I keep wondering where Africa got that culture that the wife must be suppressed and made to look like her opinion is irrelevant! |
Re: A Wife Referring To Her Husband As "my Lord" by SmallAnus: 9:04pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
spiritual or temporal lord? |
Re: A Wife Referring To Her Husband As "my Lord" by debosky(m): 9:04pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
@ Busta If my father was eating and I was eating as well, and he said 'go get me water to wash my hands', I would do that gladly and not regard it as dictatorship, he is after all my father. That is my opinion and it may not agree with yours, and it doesn't have to. Like I said, you are projecting your own experience on this one to judge that it is wrong, while it may just be a different experience from yours. Once again, there are different social structures out there from the ones you grew up in, and you may find it unacceptable, while they may not. Its just like we Africans who do corporal punishment and regard it as ok, and some Westerners who say its 'barbaric' - different social systems, different view points. I do not see anything necessarily wrong with the man's actions. I may not do the same personally, but that is simply my own prerogative. @ hot chic, you said it all - provided the woman is alright with it - if she is, then there is no need to impose our own views. |
Re: A Wife Referring To Her Husband As "my Lord" by whitelexi(m): 9:07pm On Jun 16, 2008 |
Small_Anus: None of the above. ty4real: Where is your sense of humour? Can your wife not insist on calling u her lord? What of men who call their wives "my queen" or "my guardian angel" sef? |
