It takes a lot of courage for a man to do what Prince Philip Mountbatten-Windsor (now of blessed memory) did. He met the then Princess Elizabeth (now queen) as a normal man from a noble background back then in the 1940s and, as their closeness culminated into a romantic relationship, they both knew that marriage was, most definitely, in the works. Going by the British royal tradition, any man married to a crowned princess from the royal family will never be king; rather, he’d be a consort with the title of Duke. Prince Philip knew all of this, including the fact that his direct first offspring and their own first offspring will ascend the throne yet, he loved Elizabeth regardless and still went ahead to marry her.

Most men would’ve told the queen-in-waiting to relinquish her crown if she indeed wanted to get married but, certainly not Prince Philip. He met her as a young royalty, loved and respected all that she stood for and, he still married her. He didn’t mind that he’d be addressed as a Prince and she, a Queen but, he still stood by her side; serving in the designated capacity assigned to his new royal status. He (obviously) didn’t mind that he’d have to take orders from the queen as she’s the supreme leader of the British monarchy; all that mattered to him was loving his wife.

Now, imagine this scenario happening in an African setting…….. the man won’t definitely want to be answerable to his wife because, he’ll term it as demeaning and disrespectful. African men love to be “IN CONTROL” and not the other way round so, anything short of that is a no-brainer for them. It’s therefore no surprise that even in a corporate setting; whether privately or publicly owned, if a man and his wife were to work in same or different establishments, he either won’t subscribe to submitting to his wife as his boss (in the event that happens) or, he won’t even fancy the idea of his wife earning more money than he does. He’ll automatically translate it to mean his woman wants to override him.

Queen Elizabeth II and her husband are a typical example of what joint efforts in a marriage should look like. It doesn’t matter who’s earning more or who’s superior in authority to the other; what matters is the peaceful coexistence between both parties. If Prince Philip had insisted on being addressed as King Philip Mountbatten-Windsor because he’s the man of the house, it would’ve turned to an entirely different case cos, the British royal family will ensure this fantasy doesn’t see the light of the next day. He loved his position and served dutifully. Marriage is amazing when both partners look beyond their differences and hinge more on their similarities so they can find a common ground to build upon.

What is this one saying?

Why should everyone accept your nonsense new-found culture and mentality?

Men will always rule over women
In ALL ramifications, even God puts us ahead of them?
Even according to your Bible,

HOW MANY PROPHETS WERE WOMEN?

HOW MANY QUEENS WERE RULERS IN THE BIBLE?

HOW MANY WOMEN DISCIPLES DID JESUS HAVE?

God did not create us equally and we'll NEVER be equals.
EVERY WOMAN WHO KNOWS THAT AND TRIES NOT TO COMPETE HAS KNOWN PEACE.

Okay, this can't happen in Nigeria, right?
Marry Nigerian women at your own peril.

Op,I must say you aren't far from the truth..

But then I thought of how and what it'd look like if it was in my very beloved country...For here, common ordinary councilor daughter dey feel too high to the extent that she sees herself like a demi God that's above others....You go dey hear statements like--"do you know who i am?" whenever a man approaches her

Nothing sweet pass love wey loyalty dey whether royalty or not.....

See as Queen be like Brida and Prince Phillip be like Odda

Some Nairalanders will call this guy a SIMP!

Okay, he actually did nothing extraordinary.

A lot of men would gladly marry a Queen, a President or whatever title.... in African setting.

Either with the intent of 'gold digging' or with sole commitment to love.
African men love too.
