A Nigerian lawyer has stirred heated debate online after advising men not to prioritize their wives above their siblings.
In a viral post, the lawyer reportedly stated:
“Do not prioritize your wife above your siblings. They are your blood while she is an outsider.”
The statement quickly triggered strong reactions across social media platforms, with many Nigerians criticizing the lawyer’s stance as outdated and harmful to marital relationships.
While some agreed with the view, insisting that blood ties remain stronger and more reliable than marriage, others condemned the advice, arguing that a healthy marriage requires placing one’s spouse first.
The controversial remark has since fueled wider conversations about family dynamics, loyalty, and the role of culture in shaping marital priorities in Nigeria.
