Should a wife give her wages to her husband to manage for the family household? This is certainly the way homes in Nigeria were run in the past, but is it still true for the modern couple?

BattaBox presenter Odunayo takes to the streets of Lagos, Nigeria to ask women whether they should surrender their income to their husbands.

“In this part of the world, submission is an important part of marriage, but would Nigerians submit their income to the husband at the end of every month?” say Odunayo.

“It’s not as if it’s bad, but I worked for it because I have bills to pay!”

“No, why would I do that? It doesn’t make sense,” says a young Nigerian woman.

“Yes, of course, I would give my money to my husband. What concerns him, concerns me,” says one woman.

“Yes, as a Christian I’m not supposed to hide anything from my husband so I would give it to my husband,” explains one trader.

    There can never be two captains on a boat. If the woman was foolish enough to marry a common idiot then she deserves all she gets.

    If the woman is wise and exercised prudence and good judgement further compounded by divine direction and makes union with a G-D fearing man, then she has nothing to worry about and would gladly submit monies to her husband.

    GOD THE FATHER IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST AND CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN AND THE MAN
    IS THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN..THIS IS DIVINE ORDER DEVIATE FROM THIS AT YOUR PERIL!.

    Only a Jezebel spirited woman stubborn and stiff-necked would want to horde which is out of her control.
    and only a weak man acting out of ORDER would accept it.

    Ecclesiastes 7:28 King James Version (KJV)
    28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.

    YAH intended on us to do it TOGETHER… money has nothing to do with submission.. and if we MEN OF ISRAEL do not SUBMIT to the WILL of TMH through YESHUA, we cannot expect our wives to submit to wickedness . shalom BROTHERS and SISTERS

    You dey craze? Me, that went to school to train myself and then get a good job will give a whole man my whole income? Not even my parents have the same bank, how much more me. But I do believe in splitting household cost 50/50. No man should be responsible for all the bills in the house.

    I tell him how much I have but I don’t tender it to him , I support with the bills . I have my own plans too you know , I give my siblings , buy stuff for myself ,my friends etc plus I have my own savings that also comes to the rescue .

    He will know of my money but will not get it. However, if he needs it I won’t hesitate.

    My own approach is this. We both have separate accounts for individual needs and also have a joint account where we both transfer a percentage of our income for the family upkeep.
