Christians often forget that this life is not the ultimate goal—we are being molded for eternity with God. So when the Bible says a woman should submit to her husband, it’s not about power or status. Her obedience becomes one of the means through which she is being conformed to the image of Christ.
One of the consequences of the fall, as the Bible puts it, is this: “You will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you” (Gen 3:16 NLT). When Paul teaches about submission, he’s addressing this very dynamic. In choosing to submit to her husband, a woman mirrors Christ—who, though equal with the Father, chose to submit to His will. It’s a picture of Christlike humility and obedience.
When we frame this solely as a power struggle, we miss the deeper point: the Holy Spirit is at work, undoing the curse of sin and self. For women, that may manifest particularly in the impulse to control their husbands. But the greater work is sanctification—not control. This is about transformation, not domination.
Here’s a rough analogy: women are especially vulnerable when they love a man—through the risks of childbirth, or the pain of being abandoned or betrayed. Human wisdom says that to protect herself, she must gain certainty and control. But that control can breed conflict. Worse, if she succeeds in gaining it, she may lose respect for him, as he’s no longer leading her the way Christ leads the church. It also affects her ability to submit to Christ—and her sanctification suffers.
By submitting to her husband, she is not just obeying a command; she is being transformed. Her fears are being reshaped into trust. Earthly submission becomes a preparation for eternal worship—a training ground. Marriage is her nursery.
Likewise, husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church. That means sacrifice, self-giving, and service. In doing so, a man learns to lay down his life—because eternity is about giving ourselves fully for the good of others. Marriage, for both man and woman, becomes a tool the Spirit uses to conform us into the image of the Son—whose righteousness we bear and whose inheritance we share.
When we focus on that verse alone without the full context of the biblical story —God working throughout history to restore human beings unto Himself, we will miss the grandness and beauty of that command.
I actually think the 2015 APC prioritised media trial over the true state of things because they wanted to be seen fighting corruption. Diezani's case is/was a major case study. I'm glad Court has cleared her. Those who tried her on the media should apologize to her.
"Why should I give you any free and fair elections when I'm also a contestant? I was in the opposition and I suffered and bore it like that. Now, it's your turn - why should I help you when I have the majority (in the House)?"
- Prince Adewole Adebayo narrates what transpired when an umbrella group of political parties met with Pres. Tinubu to seek assurance about a level playing field for all political parties.
This is the excuse Obidients adopted to justify behaving like Animals in response to the Buhari Media Corp
It makes enemies and doesn't convince neutrals
If you chose to adopt it instead of finding better ways to communicate and build community, you will make it worse for Atiku
You people should beg Chude Jideonwu and Sahara Reporters to release the full 90mins call recording of Diezani confronting and dragging Kola Aluko.
Not that 2mins clip they ran for over 10years to justify their propaganda.
If they don’t, I will.😜
See how you've twisted yourself into a pretzel to justify not interrogating the incumbent. Lol! An election is a referendum on the incumbent. Not on the opposition.
As someone who has extensively researched almost all presidential candidates since 2011, I know Obi is a poor articulator of his ideas. Apart from his populist ideas like cutting waste in government, reducing corruption and his personal frugality, he usually expresses his proposed policies direction rather poorly .
He mostly struggles with the "how" of his ideas.
This is a valid reason not to support him, if you choose not to.
However, if you the support Tinubu (which is also a valid decision) and are justifying it because Obi struggles with articulating his ideas clearly and often struggles at interviews, you are being hypocritical.
Tinubu is mostly unintelligible. His words are slurred, often meaningless and responses to questions are usually travelling on a tangent.
The truth be told, of the three leading presidential candidates, Atiku is head and shoulders above others in the clarity of his proposed policy directions and articulation.
In fact, the only presidential candidate in recent history that trumps him in this area, is Kingsley Moghalu.
If you, however, think this is not enough, and for reasons such as his age, alleged proclivity for corruption, etc, you choose not to support him, your reason is also valid.
If anyone should complain or criticize a presidential candidate over a media interview, it sure as hell shouldn’t be an Agbadorian. I mean, your boss was licking the microphone on national tv.
You see this mentality of “Naka Ai Naka ne” is what gave birth to the spread of Boko haram. Kasan Sarai danuwanka dan taadda ne Amma Sai ka rufa mai asiri. Allah ya kyauta. Naka jikan shedan Wallahi ba naka bane.
Even after being saved from the center of insecurity & abvse, she could still hear their voices and the sound of their guns. 💔
Will she ever recover from this?
1. TINUBU | OBI VS ATIKU: Electricity in Nigeria - The Difference Is Clear
In December 2022, President Tinubu stated that if he is elected and fails to deliver electricity, Nigerians should not vote for him again. Despite three years in office, on March 27, 2026, at the APC National Convention in Eagle Square, Abuja, Tinubu continued to promise Nigerians electricity but did not provide any solutions.
Peter Obi who is the NDC Presidential candidate for 2027 said in an interview that in four years, he will generate, transmit, and distribute at least 10,000 megawatts of electricity. Rufai Oseni consistently asked him how he would do it. Peter Obi reluctantly refused to state how he's going to do it rather he started mentioning countries like he always does to deceive his gullible supporters without stating solutions. He said, “I’m not going to tell you how I’m going to do it, it is not for you to know how. It’s for you to look at a man who is saying this”.
Meanwhile, Atiku Abubakar talks about the problem but when he was asked, how is he going to do it? He stated his solution without sounding like Peter Obi who refused to state his solution. During the 2023 election campaign, H.E Atiku Abubakar pledged to pursue decentralized power generation and transmission, along with exploring other energy sources, if elected president.
Over the years, Atiku has demonstrated the experience needed to address Nigeria’s energy issues, whereas Tinubu is still learning on the job, as he has yet to present concrete solutions.
The responses of Tinubu and Peter Obi have shown that there's no way former governors have more presidential experience than a former vice president because governing a state is totally different from governing a federation.
Thanks

It is so funny, and somewhat sad, that every single play Portugal is making seems set up for the ball to get to the guy in the 7 shirt. Feels like a game organised by a family on their dad's birthday, and everyone just takes turns allowing the dad to score so they can all scream happy birthday. DR Congo is the guy from the park who just joined the game and has no idea it is dad's birthday.
Rufai,
I think it is just right to ask you why you did not make any effort to fact-check what Mr @PeterObi was telling you, cos in the video you attached, he LIED to you.
He claimed that since 2015, the Federal Government has not initiated or commissioned a power plant in Nigeria. That is a big fat lie.
1. Nigeria’s second-largest hydro plant, Zungeru Hydroelectric Power Station (700 MW), was commissioned in 2023. It was funded partly by the federal government (25%) and a Chinese loan (75%).
2. The Dadin Kowa Hydropower Plant (40 MW) was commissioned in 2020 and 2023.
3. Kashimbila Hydropower Station (40 MW) in Taraba State was commissioned in 2020.
4. Sokoto State’s 38 MW independent power project was completed in 2025, and Ekiti State commissioned a 3.6 MW IPP in 2023. States like Lagos, Ogun, and Delta have initiated IPP projects in partnership with private developers.
These are just the power plants; there are several other projects, like transmission lines, substations, and transformers, that added hundreds of MW of wheeling capacity and were initiated and commissioned by the federal government post-2015.
So I’ll ask you again, @ruffydfire: why didn’t you fact-check @PeterObi?
This interview really disappointed me because the electricity issue in Nigeria is not a very complicated matter to hold it as a secret
First of all, Nigeria has the ability to produce 13,000MW of electricity but only produces 5,000 and sometimes 6,000 at the most.
It is like saying a factory has 100 machines installed, but only 35 are actually running.
Nigeria at the moment does not get 13, 000 MW because the plants are not all able to operate at full capacity.
So I was expecting that the first solution would be to effectively make those existing infrastructure run at full capacity as such, address the issues causing it to not run at full capacity
The problems that are presently not making it reach full capacity are; that for one it is gas powered, and there usually isn’t enough gas
I would expect a solution on how to maneuver that problem.
A solution like not over relying on one source of fuel, like diversifying into solar, hydro, wind, etc like foreign countries have done
So the problem is not even creating power plants as he mentioned, but fixing the fuel to power chain.
The second issue is more simpler as there are many old and poorly maintained equipment. The solution is to create a maintenance culture in Nigeria that has been lacking, so that one is a low hanging fruit.
But what I was expecting was the financial area which is one of the most tricky issues affecting the electricity market.
Distribution companies if they don’t collect sufficient revenue, or manage it properly, the gas suppliers won’t be able to supply gas, or would supply in limited amounts.
So a solution would be better financial management of these distribution companies and how they collect revenue.
He could have easily said, how I managed finance in Anambra, I would also ensure proper management of these distribution companies finances because if payment chain is fixed, the bulk of the issue is solved
I will ensure proper contracts exist and we would drag all contractors who don’t comply to court
He could then have said, it is after he has done all this that then we can build more plants and expand on transmission, distribution etc
We’re not the same and I’m grateful for it. The old model taught men to provide financially while remaining completely absent emotionally. We figured out you can do both. That’s not decline. That’s an upgrade nobody asked us to make and we made anyway.
The men you’re describing as gone weren’t better. They were just less examined. We started examining ourselves. The version of manhood that couldn’t survive that examination was never something worth preserving.
