The man, identified as Waziri Mohammed, from Borno State, made this assertion in a Facebook post.
According to him, men will not cheat if their wives are submissive.
“No man cheats when the wife is submissive”, he wrote.
Meanwhile, media personality, Daddy Freeze has opined that submission in marriage goes both ways, and it’s not reserved for women alone.
He said this while reacting to Bishop Oyedepo’s post on social media where he opined that the only way to a fruitful marriage is total submission on the part of the wife.
The clergyman had earlier shared his opinion on marriage via a post on Instagram that read ;
“The only way to a fruitful marriage is total submission on the part of the wife. Until it is in place, every other thing she tries to do will be out of place. A woman who refuses to submit to her husband is disobeying God. As a woman, you might even be a minister of the gospel, and your husband is not, the Word of God still says to submit yourself to him.”
Which he backed up a biblical verse: “A submissive woman is precious in the sight of her husband – Ephesians 5:22.”
Daddy Freeze, however, countered this school of thought as he thinks it is subject to patriarchy and misogyny. In an open letter to the founder of Living Faith Ministries, He stated that submission goes both ways. It’s not reserved for women alone.
