“It is d!srespectful and d!gusting for a woman to look at man that paid her dowry and call him ‘Baby'” – Marriage coach

A marriage coach on Facebook, Maketere Ugwu Amoke has ignited controversy by asserting that when a woman calls her husband ‘baby’, it is a sign of disrespect rather than affection.

Making a series of Facebook posts, he explained that using such terms is a test of the husband’s tolerance and may be a manipulation tactic.

He claimed that women use the term to rather subjugate their husbands and not give them the respect and authority they deserve.

Maketere also believes that this behavior can have adverse consequences for their children and the broader society. Read some of the comments by netizens who came across the posts:

Njokuwilly Chiziterem Elenwoke: My reverend told us the same thing one Sunday. That we should call our husbands my Lord. I came back home, called my husband my Lord 😅
Oga replied that if I want to insult him, I should come out straight 🌝

Glory Okon: A toxịc man spotted.

Rickpaulz: Dowry this, dowry that…. what’s the heck with this dowry sef? Allow women to breath. If a woman truly loves you whether she calls you baby or not, your respect and values remain untampered with.
