Obaseki, who signed the bill in Government House, Benin City, on Tuesday, said he was aware that the bill touches on fundamental practices among the people, assuring that he was not only signing the bill as a formality, but will ensure it is implemented to the letter.

“We will not stop here by just signing the bill into law, but will commence the much difficult work of implementing it to the letter.

do better thing with ur life. stop wasting away

Kudos to the wake and see Governor. Tho we don't want feminist seizing this as a victory. It's a win win for everyone. Yes to gender equality. No to feminism.

An opportunity for some wives to be more disrespectful.

It should’ve been gender neutral. What about women who assault their husbands?
