A Twitter user shared a story of a man criticized for moving into his woman's house after marriage and the tweet has sparked a debate online.

Some people feel no true African man should move into a woman's house. Others said it's acceptable if the woman stays humble and doesn't disrespect the man as a result.

But the poster pointed out that men do not accord women that same respect when they move into their house, instead, at the slightest provocation, the husbands ask their wives to leave.

Into whose house? Did she build it with her money? Or its a rented apartment?

If its a rented apartment then the husband takes responsibility of the rent.

Very bad omen ... but is poverty a crime? Let the poor man manage what life throws at him. Till he is fit to call the shots.
l say this cause its only a financially challenged man that will live in a womans house and its not a taboo. Just that he must behave himself

Lol. It’s also not wrong for a woman to be the breadwinner of the family

No extremely right
You hear!

God forbid. Though she is free to build as many house as possible but for me to move in with her is an abomination.

But the Bible said two shall become one now. So far there is a mutual understanding and the wife is not bothered, abeg let the world people go to hell.

The power of love

It’s a tough call abeg BUT with understanding and respect to the sworn commitment it doesn’t mean a thing.

Money at times can embarrass a man. Make God enriches us abundantly.

I don't think its right, to be safe my brother kindly go get your own house EOD

If you ask me,na WHO l go ask?

If the woman has a better house I don't see anything wrong with it but our Nigerian society does frown at it. Then go kuku call you woman wrapper. .



Best thing to do, you guys should get a new place.

for me oo...I can't...we know what women can do in a seconds of Brain touch

Everything thing is wrong with it....

even the Bible condemned it, any man who pays a bride price and move to a woman's house in the name of marriage will loose all the friends he has ever got, no one want to be associated with a sisi.

no woman will respect any man who moves to her house, at any slight provocation she will remind u, u don't even have a voice.

as the saying goes " a man can completely take care of his wife bills for a life time, but when a woman take care of a man bill for a week, the world will hear her murmur.

It's only in Nigeria that things like this become a debate.
There's absolutely nothing wrong if you move into your wife's house.
Marriage is all about understanding.

uncivilized Nigerians are already advising the couples to rent out the house while they move to a rented house! who cursed Nigeria?
who's gonna pay the rent if they move into a rented apartment?

is it even sensible for you to move into a rented apartment when you've your own home?

If one could choose where he'd been created on Africa is the last place a sane person will choose..
A useless continent where there are no durable investments in science and technology yet they're debating over a house! later they'll start calling whites racists when they're being mocked.

Smh

No. But he needs to respect himself in that house.

Eketi just dey misyarn. If u let a woman lord over u, ur own don finish be that... Women don't handle power well, they get intoxicated and carried away..

It all depends on how much they understand each other. Some women are the breadwinners in their families, so what difference does it make if they built the house they reside with their spouses.

The man should just brace and be responsible, and don't let the third party determine your marriage.

I could sense feminism in her comments and stupidity in her last comment

There is nothing wrong with moving into your wife's house but it's not advisable

I'm very sure you people are asking this question because of Linda Ikeji

Now that she's pregnant everyone is wondering if her husband will move into her Banana Island home.

Following

Hmmm

in nigeria its bad. except na inside forest the house dey. a man can move in.

if its a rented apartment the man should take responsibility of the rent with immediate effect but if the wife built it with money the woman should handover the document of the house to the man.

Its very very possible, but African mentality must interfere.

Guy which dirty handover, you nor dey shame say woman shelter you.

If there's love & understanding the man can manage to stay.,but women can still be frustrating at times though!
