Bros how body? I will move a motion to amend your post here  . I don't think it's about agreeing to all your husband says but agreeing with the final decision. The wife can actually debate with the husband, present facts for better insight into the issue, and offer better suggestions. The submission part, I believe, is in the final decision. Same way people operate in every organization. You push your position but submit to the final decision to avoid anarchy. In a marriage, the natural skills for a smooth process is already within both parties. They are in the same team and just have to watch out so they don't allow ego or build up of resentment. That is where wisdom comes in. Hope I did not misinterpret your position. ednut1: By agreeing to all your husband says or all his decisions without pushback. A recipe for disaster in today’s society. |

Absolutely! BananaPeel: You are correct. The thing is, once you are married, situations where spouses argue over whose opinion is correct hardly happens. Ñaturally, there's a flow of mutual respect. The word, submission is not enforced or not even noticed due to high level of understanding between both of them. |

In that case, separation or full divorce is the best option. They should stop deceiving each other that they are married. Simple  Jozilinn: Some men don't deserve respect, respect is one of the key factor of submission, the way you talk Will determine how the other one reacts... entitlement mentality of men in Nigeria and na me own you nahim make marriage dey spoil most times, you don't expect to undervalue your wife and then expect her to be submissive. |

Work together as a couple but if there is a conflict on a decision and he feels strongly about it without shifting then you defer to him.
How you see this is up to you and how you ensure that he sees reason if your position seems to be the best choice is also up to you. You have been empowered with many natural skills as a woman to help him see reason and if he still says no then you defer.
If you can't do that then maybe marriage is simply not for you. You are better off by yourself and you won't have to submit to anybody. Marriage is not by fire by force contrary to the mindset of many of our people who can't think for themselves. |

Kudos to the Jagaban of Africa and his predecessor for this wonderful and heartwarming development  . On his part, the Senior Manager Sales, MTN, Emmanuel Okereke, said the organisation is excited to partner with the Federal Government on a road infrastructure tax credit scheme to complete the rehabilitation of the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway.
Okereke said, “This road does not only connect Enugu and Anambra states; it is a gateway to the rest of the country and Africa. Our commitment is to deliver an expressway that will be the pride of the South-East people and Nigerians in general.” |

May not be fully related to this story but Nigerians japaing to the US and other places should make sure they fully leverage the system.
Many of our people carry their cheap and myopic mindset abroad. I know many that opted for "higher pay" contract jobs against full-time jobs with all sorts of employee benefits, all sorts of employee insurance & retirement plans but lower take home pay.
Some are hustlers and business owners but gaming the system for higher income and losing out on social security & other benefits to secure their future. There are investment options available for them but they ignore.
For example, past data shows just $6,500 from your paycheck a year invested in Roth IRA, i think, has yielded $60,000 a year average in retirement. Many also get substantial social security monthly paychecks, e.g. $2000 a month SSN check goes a long way but you have to contribute well while active.
We love the bling bling of today, which is good but tomorrow is unknown and our plans must accommodate that. We need to move away from seeing children as retirement plan to leaving generational investment plans to children as beneficiaries. |

Not believing your story and helping you make better sense of the comparison between Tinubu, Peter Obi and Atiku are not mutually exclusive  We both know this is just you measuring your dick against your imaginary Ronus to hit back at them for your candidate's electoral defeat  Bigkoko: Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Mere figments of someone's vivid imagination  On what basis would Peter Obi or Atiku be placed ahead of Tinubu considering that all three have been in power (Anambra Gov, Vice President, Lagos Gov) and we have seen their output? The only tangible thing that could have counted against Tinubu was his health, and it's so far proven to be an exaggerated concern. Bigkoko: I then asked him why, someone like him who have had the privilege of living in a sane country would choose Asiwaju when there's a Peter Obi and even Atiku.....baba open mouth dey look me like Ewedu soup whey red oil catch too much. |

Men must always learn to end and dump a girl first during relationships. You're instantly seen as a hot Dude with so much options available at your disposal. If she dumps you, it means you'll keep thinking about her, but when reverse becomes the case, you're seen as a KING with multiple options because you go bang her again and again. As a guy, you should be in command and control of your relationship |
