Man, Echezona Enebeli Gives Reasons Why A Woman Should Not Aspire To Be More Successful Than Her Hubby
While today’s society is heavily influenced by the need for gender equality, it appears there are still some people who believe women are made strictly to be subservient and nothing more than helpers of men. One of such is Facebook user, Echezona Enebeli, who took to the platform to give reasons why he believes a woman should never strive to be more successful than her husband.
According to Enebeli who in April advised men to ensure that women never become more successful than them, it is okay for a woman to be more successful than her husband if it is merely by providence but it is wrong for a woman to strive to be more successful than her spouse as women were made to be helpmates and not competitors.
He wrote:
“But…. why would a woman aspire to be richer than her husband sef… ?? Yes.. agreed. Some women are more successful than their spouses.. but being more successful than your spouse by Providence is different from intentionally aspiring to be richer or more successful than your spouse Mbanu…
E no go work Biko… Women were created as help meet/helpers to their husbands…. not competitors.. Aspire to be successful…. but never aspire to be more successful than your man.”

Earlier this year, Echezona, who described himself as a “family man, loving husband, dotting father, jovial and generous” said he is unable to fathom how “women of nowadays” ditch culture and attempt to emasculate men by expecting them to help with domestic chores and particularly kitchen related ones.
The aggrieved man alleged that a woman’s character is never truly known until she begins to earn more than her man. He continued to say the word “submission” does not exist in the dictionary of successful women and called on his fellow men to remedy the situation by ensuring they block their women from ever becoming more successful than them.
Echezona did encourage men to support the women in their lives but warned against doing so to the point that the woman becomes richer than the man.
His comments were met with severe attack from women who think he’s simply old-fashion. See some comments below:
