Nigerian pastor Femi Lazarus has warned men against relationships where wives allegedly control their husbands, insisting that women should submit to their husbands according to biblical teachings.
The pastor made the statement while speaking about marriage and some behaviours he claimed have become increasingly common among couples.
Femi Lazarus argued that men should not describe themselves as “woke” if they allow their wives to disregard their authority in marriage.
According to him, couples should not twist what the Bible teaches about the roles of husbands and wives.
“Any home that the woman is controlling the husband, curse is the land. If you are not willing to submit, don’t marry it. And if you are a man, that your definition of being a woke man is that the lady is telling you to your face that, ‘I don’t submit to no man,’ you say, ‘Hey, let’s go.’ You’re a weakling.
We don’t twist what the Bible instituted. The word is the word. Love your wife. Wife, submit to your husband. That’s the culture.” he stated.
The pastor also expressed concern over reports of domestic violence and troubling incidents involving couples, urging men to pay attention to their partners’ behaviour.
He referenced a case involving a woman who allegedly killed her children, claiming that some women had publicly expressed support for her.
Femi Lazarus further warned men about normalising abusive behaviour from their partners, noting that some husbands laugh off threats and physical aggression from their wives.
He urged couples to take such behaviours seriously rather than dismissing them as part of a partner’s temperament.
