Netizens have taken to their social media page to react negatively to Nigerian businessman and philanthropist, Femi Otedola’s advice to his daughter, Temiloluwa Otedola, now Temi Ajibade, that she has to listen and adhere to her husband, stressing that he has now become her boss.

According to Otedola, “You have to succumb to your husband; he is your boss”.

This statement, which appears subtle, harmless and encouraging, has gained virility on X and Instagram, with some greatly displeased by the simple statement.
