Nawa o . people dey vex with their father-in-law oooo

It seems because of male pride, people are simply saying 'Hell NO' without weighing the benefits.

Benefits:
- Job for Life. No threat of sacking.
- Rapid rise to the top.
- All the best support and training provided formally and informally.
- If the Dad-in-law is getting on in years, you may well become the next in line.

Benefits, job security & the treats are all good - But I do believe a time will come when a guy will just want to do their own thing, and how do you tell your father in-law that he should release you to start your own business? If it was Joe blogs, you'd just resign and go, but now you'll feel you owe it to him to stay, also your going may cause fiction at home if you're going from a stable job to nothing until yours picks up, it may be hard for his daughter to now support your decision -- Double trouble,

Most guys here will readily work for their own Dads, and eventually takeover the family biz.
And I thought that in Nigerian culture, when you marry, the father in-law becomes your Dad,

abi all that pastor yarn during your wedding na theory?

It depends on the kind of in-laws you've got. But for me I dont think i would like to,

It's easier to talk to your own parents when they are crossing the line in a nice way and protect your wife without them really taking/ getting offended, but with in-law? Hum, especially after he's set you up, now you want to start drawing the line ,  I don't think so.

father in law no get im own pikin?

alot of people would work for their dads because they have been so spoilt/pampered that they cannot cope anywhere else(imho). and when dad dies . . .where are concord etal today?

like i said before - if you are coming from an equal footing, then no problem. if otudekos son marries adenugas daughter, no probs. however, if oyb were to marry bella. . .(daddy - i love him - i will kill myself. . . ) how do you think daddy will look at the 'bloody pauper of no lineage' who he is making an oga so that bella can continue to chop life

Well, It depends on my wife's position in her family. If she is the Eldest or only daughter, i might do it to protect her interest, otherwise, i won't want any seefinish of wahala from the siblings when the old man begins to trust or rely on me more than his own children. I have my honour and ego to protect.

I'd rather not!
Come to think of it, even if I was looking for a job, Id prefer to keep job hunting than take on such employment. Its hard to draw the line between family and business in such a relationship.
Like the Notorious BIG said:
'Money and blood dont mix
Like two diks and no bi*ch
Find yourself in serious sh*t'

Just imagine keeping your opinion to yourself cos its contrary to what he wants?
NO WAY!

why work for a father inlaw?

No Way!

It depends on the situation. I won't marry a man that won't be comfortable with my family. And my dad will behave himself or else, MUMMY will get him.

i go dey sell pure water instead.

It depends on the relationship between you and your Father-in-law.

If he really accepts you as one of his sons, you will never have problem with him to the point of fireing you at work, you will exceptionally handle him like your father and take up the work as your fathers' organisation.

But if from day-one, he sees u as a threat to his family, taking away his daughter, you can't even cope. He would not even get you employed.

One thing is this, the relationship and acceptability of a man by the In-laws really matters, even it affects the love life of the couple.

jacob worked for his in-law,laban.i dont think god is against it.if god is not against,i dont think its bad.

I wont even accept d proposal. i ll rather open a store.

That simply depends on who the father-in-law is

If he is like Don Corleone, YES! If he isn't, No!

Not in a million years!!!!!!
i don't need anybody telling me her to run my home & it'll definitely come to that when u start working for him.
but when he knows he's got nothing on you, he'll give you your respect.
