Some of them believe we live in a society where women should
be seen and not heard.
When the reporter threw the question
at some they even went ahead as rejecting it, saying they are
the head of the home and it is wrong for their wives to build a
house before them. Some said if she builds it, it must be in their
name, while some totally said nothing on earth can ever make
them live in a house built by a woman. Hear them yourselves
when you continue after the cut.
Lasisi Bashiru: I can never do such a thing. As an African and a
Yoruba man, the culture stipulates that if a woman is richer
than her husband in terms of wealth, her wealth belongs to her
husband. If my wife is therefore richer than me, she should give
me the money to build the house myself on behalf of the family
and it should be an internal arrangement that outsiders must
know about it.
Akinsowon Francis: Yes/No. I can live in the house built by my
wife if only I was pre-informed before she started the
construction of the house. I cannot, because ideally it is a man’s
responsibility to build a house for his wife and the children.
Living in a house built by my wife then is like shifting my social
and biological roles as the head of the family to her.
Peter Amosun: I can live in a house built by my wife only if she
agrees I will still be the head, the controller, and the dictator of
the house. And more so if my dignity won’t be destroyed by
telling people around us.
David Fakeye: I cannot accept to do that. My wife should give
me the money to build the house on behalf of the family than
building the house herself. Culturally, it is expected of a woman
that is richer than her husband to make her husband the
controller of her money. Some women prefer their husbands
to have a two-bedroom flat before building theirs even if it is a
mansion.
Olusoji Kayode: The most important thing is love, if there is true
love between us; there is nothing my wife will do that I won’t be
happy about. There are times that God first bless the wife
before the husband. If there is unity, there is nothing bad in
living in the house built by my wife. I can only stay back if my
wife is too proud and tells everybody around that she built the
house.
Gabriel Olasunkanmi Olaokun: I can’t live in a house built by my
wife because I won’t have a say in the house, she can do and
undo at anytime. Women naturally are full of ego.
Saheed Ahmed Olaide: It can never happen, I can only do that
when I am ready to die. If I should go to her house to celebrate
with her and I mistakenly sleep there, if I should wake up at
midnight I must find my way to my own house that night. May
God never allow it to happen till the end of the world! I am not
saying my wife should not build her house, but I can never
sleep there.
Stanley Omeretin: It depends on my wife. It also depends on
her level of maturity, if she thinks she can be comfortable with
it, I can live with her. But if she is not, I don’t think I should live
with her. If at first she is comfortable with it and later she is no
longer comfortable with it, I will look for a way out by packing
out and be comfortable with myself somewhere else. I am the
man and I have to always be.
Adeleke Adeyemi: I can live in a house built by my wife
inasmuch as I am the one who established a business for her.
Both the house and the woman belong to me.
Wasiu Rasaq: I pray against such a negative thing from
happening to me. Living in a house built by my wife is not a
thing I pray for. May it not happen to me because it is a curse.
Rauf Kamarudeen: Living in a house built by someone’s wife is
like sleeping on atan (dump site). I can’t because the insult will
be too much. She will be the controller of everything and she
decides what should be done in the house. You can’t accuse or
warn her, she would tell you, if you are not comfortable with it,
to pack out.
Adigun Abiodun: I can’t because women’s behaviour when they
own something is different from their normal behaviour. They
always feel they are on top of the world. No matter who or how
a woman is, the ego is always there. If any misunderstanding
should occur, the woman can send the man packing.
Segun Abegunde: The only condition that can make me live in
the house built by my wife is if I knew from the onset that she
was building one, but if I didn’t know, I cannot.
Oluwasegun Osisanyan: My response is no because the Bible
says the husband is the head of the house. If I have to live in a
house built by her it means that she has been made the head,
naturally, I am supposed to be the head.
Ogasibe Adekunle: It is a bad thing and I can’t live there. She will
later use this to get at me at any given time even if she does not
at the start.
Segun Ajitoni: I would prefer to live in a house built by pigs than
to live in a house built by my wife. Living in a house built by my
wife makes her the head, the dictator and the controller of the
house. No matter how submissive she is, a day will come that
she would show that she is the owner of the house.
