Renowned author and former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has taken to his official Twitter page with insightful advice for husbands navigating differences with their wives. In his tweet, he said, “as a husband, when you keep malice with your wife and ignore her, deprive her of her conjugal rights, reject her food and stop spending time at home or giving her companionship, you are not punishing your wife. You are actually teaching her independence. You are training her to be able to live without you.”
He further warned that persisting with such actions could lead to unintended consequences, stating, “And if you keep doing this over time, one day, she will graduate from your school, and you will cease to have meaning in her life.” Omokri reminded husbands of the inevitable aging process and the increasing reliance on spousal support, asserting that children are likelier to provide support to their mothers than fathers.
In response to these insights, Omokri urged husbands to prioritize open communication and dialogue when faced with marital conflicts. He advocated for working through issues collaboratively, stating, “So, instead of teaching her to live without you, talk to her when she offends you and work things out.”
