The issue of full house wife is becoming rampant in African. Some African Men refused to allow their wives to work due to some reasons best known to them.

When asked, some husbands said;
If they allow their wives to work, they won't have time to take care of their homes and husbands. Some said, their wives won't make so much profit in their businesses and their profit is meaningless to them because they are rich. Some husband said, their wives will have chance to flex and visit other men. Some said, they provided all what their wives and children need at home. Some also said, they give their wives monthly salary and she doesn't need to work.

What all husbands should know is that "Nobody knows tomorrow" and anything can happen, business can fold-up, husband can be sacked, husband can also be seriously sick or had an accident. In-nutshell, anything can happen to husbands.

For Instance: There is a man that didn’t allow his wife to work but pays his wife a monthly salary of N120,000 and when the man died, bank took over the man's properties and finally, the wife started sleeping with different men to enable her take care of the children she born for the man.

Husband should assist their wives in getting a work/job that will allow them to function well at home. Husband should not worry about the profit their wives is gonna make from business because most women knows how to multiply money. I also believe that, if husbands take care of their wives, majority of them won't cheat no matter the free movement that was given to their wives.

There is lots of benefit for allowing wife to work.
* If husband have issues with his business or short of cash, his wife will be there to assist.
* Wife won't be waiting for husband to come home before buying anything.
* The pressure of spending/expenses will not be too much for the husband.
* It’s also a way to teach wives about business and how to manage money.

Please Note: Most parent spent more on the Education/Vocational Trainings on their daughters and many of them won't be happy seeing their daughters become full house wife.

Finally, all husbands should support and also monitor their wives businesses because I’ve seen some wives that bought lands and cars for their husbands for being their pillar to success.

What's your take on this?

Everyone one has his role to play. Let women play their role(housekeeping) and let the men play theirs (breadwinners). Period

I agree with you to an extent, but in an ever modernising world women will have no choice but to become more instrumental in business.
It should be managed as such to prevent them from neglecting maternal duties & overworking themselves.
For instance In the west, many women strive to be "equal to men" and as a result they are more miserable, childless & sexually deviant.
