Oh, thank you!  Work is fine. All the members of the "Almondo" household are sound asleep I hope.  Off to school i the morning before I get home. Ma lazy co-workers are all fighting sleep too.  I refuse to be caught in that kind of trap tonight so I got to keep typing away.  Well, see you around and keep your fingers crossed for the chosen one.  Off to the cafeteria for some hot cocoa!

A man is the head of his family -- TRUE.
If he is jobless, for no fault of his then the above is still true for him, but
If he chooses to be lazy in his joblessness, then he will soon lose that respect.

You can be jobless and still be hard working. I have seen people who have no means of livehood, but are very good community workers and are always ready to help with chores in the compounds, streets etc. They try to make one buck or the other from menial jobs around the community.

Likewise you see people with jobs that are very lazy and lousy at their work, and they soon lose the jobs.

Bottom line is LOVE. If there is love in the family, The wife will continue to respect the man regardless of his economic status.

The man is, and will always be the head of the family. If he is jobless, then the word 'jobless' becomes an adjective qualifying his headship. If he is lazy, he becomes a lazy head,. If he is proud he becomes a proud head, and so on. I wish every woman has a husband with a job, that way there will be less friction in the family.

Be careful my brothers with women especially Yoruba women I have not met any kind of woman more wicked on earth. Because a man cannot take care of his family for a while does that mean he is less a man. These Yoruba women they are never ashamed to remove their wrapper and expose their undies in public. But some of them are compassionate and humble.

@nigeria1
that was very emotional posting
and, like you said , God almighty should lift up, and blessed any realman that might be going through this kind of suituation. Amen

But, woman respect your man, even if they can't provide now
for they were your reason to be created by God.

The head is the Head simple! What the Lord has ordain,

It's just that a jobless man who is lazy is a 'Mee' goat  not man.
But an hard working man who suddenly lost his job should be respected and loved, yes he still mentain his manhood right has the head of the family,
but he should note that gradualy he is loosing his right, because it takes a responsiblities to be respected at by wife at home.
So get something doing young man, and i also undersatand that god does not bless an empty alter, so as a man we need a little thing as a seed to plant believe God to bless for devine havest. "For it takes a seed to become vegetation and it takes vegitation to become a forest" that it it takes a little biz to start and be great in life.

Thank u all
