Nigerian Housewives by hotfunmi(f): 4:55pm On Jan 29, 2008
Housewives in Nigeria are yet to be remunerated by some husbands because they don't feel their work at home is[b] that[/b] valuable because it has no monetary reward. What is the best way to protect a housewife financially in case her husband decide to divorce her or take a second wife? Will you like Nigeria to make such laws that will either make housewives contribution at home equal to her husbands outside work that pays the bills?

Men: What about house husbands? will you sit tight at home and take care of the kids as a househusband especially if your wife is making more than you and both of you cannot afford a maid?

A whiff of Feminism here! cheesy
Re: Nigerian Housewives by Nobody: 6:52pm On Jan 29, 2008
This is not a problem in Nigeria only. Women all over the world have had or still have this same matter to deal with. However now Nigeria has more important issues to worry about. I suggest they start from the very foundation of every country to resolve these problems.

By the time we have adjusted our society with the proper education problems like these won't be common anymore.

lo @babycool, no feminism abeg. Just that the efforts of women in that country are underated by most men.

I feel that men should actually give their wives something (monetary wise) to at least keep and call their own.

I am so for that.

No disrespect but they opted to be house wives didn't they? Otherwise they'd have found means to earn some an income no matter how meagre. . .

I think making legislation on this issue will offer some help- in a mild way though. Will this happen in Nigeria, only time will tell

Are you suggesting that we hold  on to laws made by our ancestors that never saw light? Why accept cell phones, cars, electricity but find it difficult to accept a process that will make life easier for our women? Lots of housewives have been used and tossed to the gutter in Nigeria because they work at home. Even the westerners change their laws from time to time to adjust to the changing times. Now, ask yourself why women should not be able to kick their husbands out of their home @ night if he indulges in adultery like men do to women that commit the same crime since they both own the house?

Some of them became housewives on their husbands orders. I've met lots of women that really want to work and earn a living but their husbands insisted they should stay home only to come back with a second wife one year later and relegate the older wife to poverty with her kids. Some are kicked out from their homes and are still homeless after years of building a big business empire with their husbands.


I remember years ago when Lagos eminent divorce lawyer, Morenike Ransome Kuti wrote articles to educate women on how to protect themselves from being mistreated like this but our male dominated society shoved her under the carpet.

personally,im all for the man taking care of and handling all the bizniss which includes paying bills, making very last decision decisionor the important decision etc etc. this is how i was brought up. i saw and still see my dad handle his bizniss and others. times have changed.
if u thought i was against women liberation/civilisation then u thought wrong. im all for it but with a  'pinch of salt'.

men need to realise that women are now career minded

What if condition permits that? may be you married Hakeem Olajuwon and his status will not allow you to go and seek employment, what will you do? or you had to move to France so your kids can go to school while your husband is busy chasing money up and down around the world. You never can tell.

If there's one thing i'm personally very against - it's utter dependence on your husband! u have got to work! the highest thing is that when u deliver your kids u take a break 4rom work and when they r old enough u return to your work i seen people do it


nowadays that people divorce like shit, wht if that happens, where do u start looking 4 a job? --- and apart 4rom that - your husband can't treat u like shit if he knows that u don't completely depend on him.
