Why do Igbo men who marry white women respect and revere their wives but don’t do same with Igbo wives? – Nigerian lady asks

A Nigerian woman, Ify Ibeanusi Onwubiko, has asked why Igbo men don’t treat their Igbo wives with deep respect as they do their Caucasian wives.

“Why do our Igbo men who marry white women respect and reverence their wives but they can’t respect and reverence their Igbo wives?,” she wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday, December 29

Our Igbo men who marry Oyibo are not saying to them you must be submissive, obey me, I am your head, you cannot control me.

You do house chores and do childminding. You Allow her to pursue her dreams and goals but if you marry your own Igbo wives you are shouting be submissive, you must obey me. I am your head.

Abeg treats us all equally. Respect and appreciate her, She speaks your language, cooks the traditional foods that you eat and you lick fingers, such as Nkwobi, Pepper soup, okra soup, eqwusi, Ofe Oha, Ofe nsara, ofe Onugbu. Ofo ogbono soup etc. You speak your language with her. A good husband makes a good wife.
