unuane1: A man is expected to fend for himself and his family, but circumstances may force a man to consider doing away with the norm. For instance, in some cultures, it is considered wrong for a man to live in a house built by his in-laws. However, some people think it is not a big deal; besides, circumstances may require in-laws to lend a helping hand to their daughter’s family. As a man, if you cannot provide a roof over your head then don't get married. Remain a bachelor. How do you expect your in-laws to take you seriously if you cannot provide accommodation for yourself and your growing family? In short, which sane couple will give their daughter's hand in marriage to a man who has no home of his own, not even an apartment? Such a man is not ready for marriage in my opinion. |

I have seen where the father inlaw bought a house using her daughters name(wife of the guy)and gave it for them to live as a gift to the daughter, how do you see that, should the guy not stay? Cos this things can happen in different dimension. |

eluquenson: The man should rather stay with a friend instead of living with inlaw, its abomination & disgracefulthat one is even worse.one day the friend will say you and your wife are inconveniencing me,i dont have privacy in my house any more or God forbid something gets missing which was never missing,you are a prime suspect and you know such stuffs will attract insult but if your inlaws build house for you far away from them.as far as east is from the west,then thats ok,at least even if they want to collect their house back,they will consider their daughter |

God forbids that the man dies there. Yoruba culture demands that his corpse be brought out of that house via the window. Does anyone in the house know of this? |

However, some people think it is not a big deal; besides, circumstances may require in-laws to lend a helping hand to their daughter’s family. I advice against this seriously.. I know a case where the guy paid dearly for this. He just relocated to Naija and the in-laws offered him an abandoned house for him to live in with his wife. The dude did up the house and brought it back to life. New everything, from paint to tiles to toilet fittings, e.t.c.. When the Gbege start, no be person tell am to get sense.. The mother-in-law gave the guy so much he'll, he moved out of the house and out of the state with his wife and child to his fathers house in a less commercially viable state. It may seem like a good idea in the beginning, after all it's all family matters, but it almost always changes. The only acceptable offer is if the house is given to them out rightly as a gift, complete with change of ownership. When I got married, my dad offered me a house and I rejected it.. I told him that he either gives me the house out rightly so I can do with it what I want or he shouldn't bother. I forked out a stack and rented a house far from them. Certain types of arrangements always tend to backfire.. 1 Like |

It is a disgraceful thing to do in Igboland Real men where i come don't even want to spend a night under their inlaws roof talk less of moving in In Igboland when the man has fallen on hard times and requires help from his inlaws,he can have his wife and kids move in with her parents temporarily while he finds his feet but he will have to go live somewhere else. It is disgraceful for him to live there with them A man should always maintain his dignity even at tough times That is all he has left in those times and he must preserve it And whatever small change he makes while he hustles,he must give them for their upkeep while at her parents house That is how to be a man If renting from the inlaws,never in the same yard abeg And he must pay his rent promptly like any other tenant to maintain his dignity |
