“Your Husband Is Your Number One Priority” — Pastor Mrs Abioye Urges Wives

Pastor Mrs. Mary Abioye has advised married women who work demanding jobs, including in banks, to ensure their careers do not take priority over their husbands and homes.

Speaking during a discussion, a woman asked if it was wrong for a married bank worker who is always busy to employ a house help to assist with cooking for her family.

Responding, Pastor Abioye stressed that being married should come with proper prioritisation, insisting that a woman’s job should not become an excuse for neglecting her husband.

“You work in the bank, but you didn’t marry bank. So, this thing you work in the bank, I want to let you know that priority, number one priority is my husband,” she said.

According to her, married women can utilise their one hour work break to prepare meals for their husbands before returning to work.

She insisted that a woman’s husband should remain her number one priority, adding that “Everybody has one hour break in any establishment. You can rush home and say let me prepare the food for my husband. I work in the bank, I go back home, prepare his food and set it on the table for him and write a note by the side ‘enjoy your meal’.”

She added, “These are things I do.”

She explained that a woman could rush home during her break, prepare her husband’s food, set the table and even leave a note saying, “Enjoy your meal, haba!”

Pastor Abioye added that she sometimes does the same, ensuring that everything her husband needs is already arranged even when she is not physically present.

She further urged women not to allow their jobs to interfere with their marriages, saying, “You can work in the bank and lose your home.”

She also warned that allowing a house help to take over a wife’s responsibilities could make the woman lose her place in her husband’s home.

“For you to tell yourself that house help will be serving your husband, then he has taken your place, oh. Ma f’aye e shere o! Oh, he has taken your place!” she said.
