A post asking whether a wife or mother should sit in the front seat of a car stirred up controversy, with one comment reading, “Na my mama go sit for front of car cos if I lose my finances, the woman go run but my mama go still dey.” This remark suggests that the wife is only in the relationship for money, indirectly labeling her a gold digger.

This kind of thinking fosters distrust and undermines the foundation of a marriage. A healthy relationship is built on love, trust, and partnership, not assumptions that a spouse is only there for financial gain. Instead of creating divisions, it’s important to nurture mutual respect and understanding between partners and family members, ensuring that all relationships are based on genuine care, not material assumptions.
