Is A Jobless Man The Head Of His Family?

Is a man Always The Head Of The Family Even When He's Jobless/lazy?

There's this neighbour of ours whose husband is jobless, doesn't even go out to look for a job, the woman does everything, yet he's so bossy.  He respects no decision of the woman, always making noise; am the head of this house/family and u must respect me, my decision stand, if i say no u must comply!! . . . inf act it pisses me off!

What ya think? is a man still the head of the family or house even when the lady is the breadwinner?

if he has the tools down below (with the right size) then he is the head regardless of social status.

In africa, he is the head - regardless!

Well, headship comes with its responsibilities. If a man claims to be the head, he should also shoulder some responsibilities. However, circumstances may force him to abandon some responsibilities for sometime but it shouldn't be for a long time. Also a man should show signs of seriousness and commitment to his home. He gives direction and leadership, so he can not afford to be lazy. So whoever must claim headship of a home must be responsible.

A joblessman,
low salary paid man,
recently lost his job,
 business no more moving,
lost his capital in business or to fraudsters,


  any of the above you're a houseboy indirectly love no dey for this one.
         except she has never tested life before.

The head is the HEAD. PERIOD!
If your head has a tumor or is injured or whatever it will always remain the head!
So the man is the head regardless of social or economic position

spora (m) , stay lagos and dey talk out of point. In the USA,  Most women are the bread winner in Black home,  Because the Black man can't find Job, USA business would rather employ a black woman over a black man,  No matter the man qualification,   That is Why Obama looks like a big story on CNN. Look a black man in USA is a door mat of the system. Do you know  there are 16 women in the USA senate,  and only 1 black man in the USA senate,  Go and find out how many Black graduate the USA has. It is called a system,  Why do you think most Nigeria men Leave their wife out here and run back to Nigeria?? it is called the system,    I had a friend over here with a PHD, after this my friend collect welfare with is North America Phd finished ,  He is now teaching at the University in Africa.  My Phd friend was not a lazy man, i went to school with him, so i know. It is just the system. North America treat black men like piece of shit,   16 women to 1 black man in the USA senate,  You heard what Bill clinton said about Obama, that he is only dreaming or joking , he was only dreaming that he would not be president. Clinton was telling the truth. He knows the system,  That Obama is just a common Black man. In the USA scale system a black man come last after everybody. You are talking about a North American system that does not treat black as first class citizen.


The who ask the question,  You most really be lacking in understanding.  because you get one small job , paying cedi, you think you are God,  I pray that from today , that man that you want to make your footmat,  that God would lift him,  And we would see how you end up.

You see I see arrogant people like you everyday. I just finished dealing with one someday ago. Go and  check yourself.

brother spora, f this men are what you call them,  then let this women go and pay the bills and go suffer well well,   been single women. Do you know the number of single women that would quickly take the man,  Woman carry the children and go through the suffering of taken care of the bill and see where your children would end up,  like the rest on the street.

I still don't understand what this head of a family is all about: your sex doesn't make you a leader. I can imagine why many women are suffering all over the world: some psychos have claimed roles that don't belong to them.

A man can fall ten thousand times and arises ten milion times

This not about claiming roles my dear, the one that design the universe that we all find ourself design it so and if you have any problem with that well u know what to do 

For me sha am a pure African man to the core, i see it as my God given duty to be in charge, but NOT like being lazy, irresponsible and disrespectful to my wife.

Haba, ki le wa dele onile, whatyour biz with other pples home. Abi are u the one?

What do you mean by joblessness? We leave in a world where things happen. A man could loose his job due to fault not from him. We are no longer in an agrarian society where man must have work to do. If a man is not lying low with his state of joblessness, then we can not qualify him with the biblical assertion.

the head can never be the tail. . . . . thats for sure 

In our culture for sure, the head of the house that can't provide for his family is definitely less than a man - and in that issue he can never be the head of the home.

Does this rule also apply in Nigeria?

if he makes effort to find a job, then he might still get the headship back. if not he is just the arse and not the head of the family. because for real, even if the woman-breadwinner tries to avoid it, with time her respect for her man will be affected negatively

God bless you for that fantastic insight.
