Maybe its best both of them be cunning.

The man keeps his money, the woman keeps hers SIMPLE

Nigerian marriage is not yet 'a partnership'. Positions in the family are clearly defined and that's the reality. So if you call yourself the man, the head, you better be ready to foot the bills and keep quiet. Stop crying because the wife refused to give you money. If you've decided to be the king of the castle, 'your way or the highway' like many Nigerian husbands, why do you want to pinch out of your wife's purse?
Only men who are very useful doing the household chores, taking care of the kids and running kitchen errands should complain. Otherwise keep quiet and mind your station while she mind hers.

exactly my thought. A woman sharing her income like that puts into question the husband's title as provider/head of household although I don't agree that a woman should hide her income from her husband.

You are speaking from both sides of your mouth here.

That's what I call a sugar wife, plus she's saving to the day the marriage fails or when she no longer has use for the man, am man invested about 600million into a business and things got slow, for 2 years no progress the wife refused supporting their home and she filed for divorce, now his up and worth about 12 billion and she's calling him like 12 times a day, see show he's now into petroleum imports

Druss:
I pity the man who marries such a wife. It shows the lack of maturity in the woman. It shows a lack of understanding of building a family up. However if the man is a useless braggart who doesn't know how to spend money well and frugally - then I do not blame the woman.

Why we ask men to get to know d woman before saying I do

Maybe it is women who know that their husbands are womanizers and would use any excess money to spend on women. Rather than use her money to fund the household needs while he drinks and spends on outsiders, she decides to act that way.

Any man waiting for his wife to dish out her money for the upkeep of their family and angry , she is not spending her money on him or for the household, is JUST LIMITING HIS PROGRESS in life.Its a dynamic rule in life, some men are ignorant on and feel they are wise. The husband is the Provider while the wife manages her husband resources and the homefront. A wise man , should always pray that God will bless him enough to cater for his family , without selling his Birthright to his wife, for peanuts.
I have a male friend, who is married and successful, he always tells me, that he does not even know how much his wife earns and he gives her money every 3weeks for food, children upkeep and her own personal upkeep too, including buying fuel in her car. And he says, this with great content and a man look. He was even the one that mentioned , selling of birthright to the wife. Men, fulfil your responsibility and good fortune will smile down on you and your wives will be so submissive.

Maybe but only people who haven't been in a steady commitment can blatantly conclude with ur kind of statement. Little girl commitment is not black and white. Its in colour and the eyes can see.
