Wife of the president is more dignifying and respectable as it is not an electable title or office.
First lady is derigatory to womanhood as there is no first lady as all ladies are first in their own right and ways.
With what we have come to associate 'Firat Ladyship' with iniNigeria and Africa, it is a non elective and non constitutional office that is entitled to the resources of the nation and also where constitutional decisions are taken ir made even when the person or office is unconstitutional.
Wife of the president is yet to be experimented but going by the title, it should be for women affairs without the parafenelia of office like in first lady.
Wife of the president is still work in progress though....
sweets, first lady is not derogatory at all.
in a democratic system, there is the first family; everyone in that family automatically earns the tittle "first". America has first dog sef. if our president was a woman, her husband would have been " first gentleman ".
that's how it works.
however, beginning with Maryam Babangida, the office has been politicized, in other to sweeten campaign promises, PMB promised to abolish the office, the reason why there is all these noise now. all he should have said way that it was not an elective position, therefore it won't be used to siphon govt money.
all this wahala for no dey now.

First Lady is the previous office used to siphon money.

Wife of the president is a dullard term for a new office used to siphon the same money.

The Siphonee(Nigerians) remain the same. The only thing dat changes is face of THE SIPHONER

First lady according every dictionary in the whole world means "The wife of the President or head of state.
dude has a point.
some governors have four wives.
only one can be paraded as the first lady. the rest are " wives of the governor "

I feel it takes the shine off the other women as every woman is 1st in her own way. Derogatory to women I mean. Wife of the president is more like it. But the powers should be drastically reduced as the office has wielded too much powers in recent times.

it doesn't take any shine off any one. which powers should be drastically reduced? truth is there are no powers tied to a first lady, its just an honorary designation .
All I can say is that the title first lady is abused in Nigeria.
PMB changing the title from first lady to wife of President makes no difference.
if he and his wife upholds the law as regards to the first lady thingy, that's where the difference will be made

You are wrong, There's no constitutional backing for the “office of the first lady”. It is just a title like other first ladies all over the world.

First Lady is used when the President has only one wife or wants to make only one of his wives prominent.

Wife of the President is used when the President has many wives. Any of them can go by that title.
Re: What Is The Difference Between "First Lady" And "Wife Of The President"? by eagleeye2: 8:59pm On Aug 22, 2015
You know when you are desperate for power, you say anything and everything just to deceive the electorates and be voted into office.
The very day I read that General Buhari was going to abolish the office of the First Lady, I knew it practically impossible. Not when he was married to a woman like Aisha.
.
Nigerians like to be deceived that's why we keep recycling this expired human beings.
The more things look as if they are changing the more they remain the same.

I makes perfect sense.

Check this out. My wife is my first lady. We call my mum first lady. A car is named first lady (1992 Toyota corolla hatch back). Anything can be named or called first lady.

On the other hand only 1 woman in the whole of Nigeria is the Wife of the President who is Aisha Buhari. Dame Patience Jonathan is Wife of the former President.

See!
