TRENDING: ‘Take care of your husbands, don’t allow society corrupt you’ – UK Police to Nigerian wives
The advice handed down by the UK Police in a two-minute, twenty-second viral footage obtained by PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday ignited online debate.The counsel comes against the backdrop of recent reports of Nigerian wives in the UK reporting their husbands to the police for various reasons, including domestic violence, child abuse, criminal activity, and cultural misunderstandings.
“But if you’re a mother on your own, the child might not obey you. However, when the father says ‘stop,’ the child will obey. Even if the man isn’t doing much, try as much as possible to manage it. Though there’s little room for management, how we build our homes sometimes matters. Some women feel men are insignificant because of the circumstances we find ourselves in.
“They believe that, especially when kids are involved, the woman is in a better place to care for them. So, they give up all privileges against the man. It’s worse in America than in the UK. When you get to London, or when you get to the UK, you realise that there are a lot of single mothers; the reason is that when you have a problem with your husband, you can call the police.
He said, “A Nigerian man would leave America to his village in the South-east to pick a wife, believing that the woman is a fresh person, and he doesn’t want to deal with the women in America because they won’t listen to him. Then he takes the lady to America; maybe he is a security man trying to make ends meet, but he decides to send the lady to school. Most nursing schools and the medical profession in America are well-paid, especially nurses.
“So the women need to look at Nigeria culture and how we do things. I’m not saying that marriage is perfect in Nigeria, but we have mechanisms to resolve differences between couples. If there is a problem between couples, their family members will come and try to convince you and all that.”At Premium Times, we firmly believe in the importance of high-quality journalism.
