Question of the day

A situation arose in a family, the man earns N250,000 a month and the wife earns N350,000 a month and they work in the same company. One of them has to leave the job because it's the company's new policy that couples will no more be tolerated. Who do you think should leave the job with effective reasons?

  13. hmmm difficult to say,but I think the husband.
    coz loosing a hundred thousand coz of sentiment,will appear penny wise pound foolish. so in their best economic interest the husband should go.

  14. The man should be the bread winner, the man should stay, there is a higher possibility of her getting another job as a lady.

  15. I think the man should leave cos he earns lesser

    ReplyDelete
  16. In this economy, husband and wife should both look for jobs. Whoever finds a job should leave. If they make it about "man" and "woman" and who earns more, a man shd be working blah blah blah then they are both stupid. Either way, to go from a combined income of 600k to 350 or 250 is a great loss so if neither finds a job the man should leave. It calls for common sense.

  17. na woman go go o make she no use money take insult man o

  18. The one that earns 350,000 should continue.i mean, He earns higher and his salary alone can give them a comfortable life. My opinion thou

    ReplyDelete
  19. If he is the type of man that is not threatened by his wife's success, he can even tell his wife to stay while he looks for another job, if he is the jealous type then the wife should leave and go look for another job, why? well, of what use is all that money if there is no peace in the family?....It really depends on the man.

    ReplyDelete
  20. It depends on the type of family or relationship, naija man no go ever gree.

  21. The man should leave the job because he earns lower than the woman. He also should not stress his wife, he should search for another job.

  28. Having discussed as a family unit, the man should leave the job. Reasons:
    1. He is the head of the house, the warrior, the provider, the ultimate man. Its his duty to source for and toil d earth for finance.
    2. He promised, in his marriage vows, to protect and cater for her. Thus keeping her in the job is a means of ensuring dat
    3. With her wages, the family can get going while the man pursues other frontiers in a bid to be a conqueror.

  36. I think is the wife

    ReplyDelete
  37. Within the Nigerian society, please the woman should jeje leave if she knows she has nosy inlaws. Coz tomorrow now it will not be that she stayed coz she is being paid more....u know wat i mean.
    Truth is there is no defintie answer sha but I feel that N100k should not be a deciding factor for who should stay or leave. Lerrus be honest,wat can N100k do for you in Lag or Abj. The deciding factor should have more substance like.....I dunno; guys help me out if you feel wat I'm saying.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Naturally, looking at their both income, its easy to say, the Man should be the sacrificial lamp. But, here the reason why I would suggest otherwise and it has nothing to do with my gender. The man is suppose to be the bread winner of the house, becoming the House-man (like House-wife) would really punture his pride and ego, moreso, you and I know that men suck at such job of housekeeping.
    Similarly, the women has you would agree a better placed to manage the decline in revenue to the house than the guy, her feminine instinct could spark off a mearger business idea that she engage in to support the man's effort. And perhaps this could also be a blessing for the family in disguise has she can now have enough time to norture and tend to the family.

  39. The spouse who will not be rising any higher in their position at that company should find another job.

    ReplyDelete
  42. D wife of course bc if d hus becomes jobless she will no no peace again in d home

    ReplyDelete
  43. The man....cos he earn less

    ReplyDelete
  44. The man shd leave of course! At the end of the day, the family survives on money, not the man's ego. Most likely he'll get a higher package when joining another company.

    ReplyDelete
  45. The wife shld leave cos she must been saving some money for future she can set up a business.... Dat can help...lin lin post my comment ooo

    ReplyDelete
  46. The lady shld....
    No reason

    ReplyDelete
  47. Its not something hard,there will be a family meeting and both party will bear the effect . The wife's salary is #100,000 higher than that of the husband so she'll continue with the job because 100k na big moni .lol. and her salary shall be divided every month using ratio 7 : 5 .She takes #204,166 and her husband takes #145,833 pending when he'll get another job . And if he gets a job that pays him less thand #250k a month,both his salary and that of the wife will be added up every month and divided with thesame ratio or I'll PERSONALLY fire both of the from my company .lol

    ReplyDelete
  48. its simple, if there is UNDERSTANDING between the couple then the husband should leave the place for the wife and look for another job somewhere else. ONLY if there is UNDERSTANDING. If no understanding then the wife should find something else doing

    ReplyDelete
  49. D wife can leave....cos dis difference is nt much

    ReplyDelete
  50. Firstly,the issue should be discussed by both couple.
    And if i may suggest, the woman should rather resign so that the man would be able to carry out his God-given responsibility of providing for both the wife and the entire family.
    On the other hand side, the man should resign if he stands a better chance of getting employment somewhere else.
    The bottom-line is, the man`s ability to provide for the family should not be denied him.
    I rest my case.

    ReplyDelete
  51. The lady should.
    No reason.
    And yes I'm a lady as well

    ReplyDelete
  52. If there is love and understanding the Husband should quit the Job cos the wife earns more! And get a job elsewhere.

    ReplyDelete
  53. The husband should leave since the wife earns more and it might not b so easy for the wife to secured a new job since she is married.
    Also cos of sexual harrasment that might wanna come with the job offer.

    ReplyDelete
  54. The man should step down, Reason: Nigeria Economy needs lot of money to survive pls. 100k difference is a lot.,besides who employs married women dis day? It wil b easier for a man to get a job.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I would say the man, not because I'm a feminist but because, it is possible for him to ask for a higher salary in another organisation and be at par or even higher than his wife, salary wise. However, if it's the lady, she'll command a even higher salary and increase the difference btw their salarues giving room for animosity and the likes!

    ReplyDelete
  56. The woman should leave the job as her husband should take care of her. Being a husband with no finance will severely dent your ego and a lot more.

    ReplyDelete
  57. This is where wisdom comes to play, I wud advice they sit down to talk,d immediate salary does not tell who has a better potential or chances of growth in the organisation,that should be considered.they should also think of who is better qualified and stand a better chance out there,if d man is better qualified he should resign and look for something else,however if they have kids the woman should resign if the job is time consuming so she can get a lesser paying job n still have more time for d family.its a difficult 1 but wisdom n humility should come to play here. I wish them well. Mykel

  60. The woman should leave! She earns more than the man which means she can afford to stay some months without a job until she gets a new one. Besides, the man has to be d provider and d woman should support. If the man stays at home, it could bruise his ego and the woman could loose respect for him

  62. First I'll consider who has better growth prospects in the company and who has better chances of a good job outside. However, I'll leave the question of who to leave the Job to the couple involved.

    The man should resign. The rationale thereto is because the wife's pay is higher; and also because, gone are the days a man is seen as the sole and/or main provider. Wives these days can also be either main, equal, somewhat equal or substancial provider, depending on her earning capacity.

  79. even though it would bruise his ego, definitely the man reason being that the woman earns more than him hence theres extra funds even if he quits

    ReplyDelete
  80. All things being equal(part being the man not a drunk, not a batterer),the lady should leave, except she's the head of the home.

    ReplyDelete
  81. the guy should leave he shuld forget abt his ego dey need d money more dan ever ryt now so whoever dat is earning higher shuld stay on d job. And wife plz be humble cus u dnt know 2moro but if he insists u leave den obey cus ure under him as d bible says den try n get smtin else. i bet u hv more qualification dan him for u to be earning higher so it will be easier for u to find smtin faster.

  82. the woman should leave because he is her head.

    ReplyDelete
  83. The woman should resign. The man has to provide for his family. The woman can always get a job. Meanwhile u knw hw it is wth women wen they become bread winners. They tend to loose respect for there husbands.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I believe the man should resign but he had better found a job already..

    ReplyDelete
  85. OK, let's be logical and reasonable here. The woman obviously earns more. We're in a modern day and age where either can be the breadwinner of the family.
    The man should leave because the woman makes more money. However, that doesn't mean he'll go home to sit and relax his butt. I'd hope he'll be in search of another job?
    They both have to come to a mutual understanding however, because I've seen/heard of situations whereby the husband becomes jealous of his working-class wife.
    So yeah, let the husband leave.

  98. I believe the woman should leave irrespective of the fact that she earns more.. Its not right for the man leave at that point in time 'cos he's the head of the family and as such should not do everything possible to ensure that his family are happy. For the woman, she can always do other menial things to complement the man until another good job opening comes her way....(My Opinion)

    ReplyDelete
  99. Of cos, the guy should throw pride away and leave since the wife's salary is actually more

  108. I beleive at this crucial point that the woman should leave reasons being that the Man is the head of the home and should leave up to that responsibility. The woman can do some menial job to complement the home until a better job offer comes her way....( My Opinion)

    ReplyDelete
  109. The wife should be the one to quit from that company because it's mainly the man's duty to make provisions of the family needs; without minding the fact that her monthly earning is greater than that of her husband. Besides, the man can still use his influence to secure her anther job somewhere else.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Of course d husband now, simple logic

    ReplyDelete
  114. The wife should leave the Job and search for another regardless of the salary volume.Initially it myt seem a good option for d husband to leave but if the husband doesn't get another Job soon enough,it cld cause chaos in that home.Understanding and mentality is needed here,Its pratically a decision btw both couples.But if I were in this situation,I wld quit the Job

  119. Well, I am a woman & i resigned when I got married to my husband because his pay was like double mine & the company has this same policy. I have also seen a couple where the man resigned in that same company cos the wife's salary was almost twice his and there were children & fees to consider. Its not about ego & pride, its about what would make the family suffer the least while one party is unemployed.

  120. The husband shd leave d job for the wife....man still have d strength to struggle n get anoda job.

  121. Well a man is the head of the house hold, the woman will have to leave the organisation and look for another job, that is after the couple have sat down and discussed the issue. They have to manage the man's resource that way.

In the other hand 350k ll go a long way to support both of us till he finds something else but the ? is,can I stand him being jobless for awhile? I don't think so but God ll give me the grace to and you never know,he might get a better job. I think he ll be the one to leave his

  124. well the man should resign since the lady earns higher, he should sacrifice and go into business or something.

  127. The wife of course should resign!
    Cos its the duty of the man to provide for and protect his family.

  131. obviously the one who is being paid the highest will be a senior staff than the lower pay, it might be the man who is being paid the highest or the woman cause we don't know who is being paid the highest or lowest, so i will suggest they both have a meeting and someone should step down for the other,if the man is being paid the highest i think the woman should step down and if the woman is being paid the highest the the woman should still step down and open a supermarket or something big for her self, cos if the man is always at home when he steps down, he becomes the house keeper of the house and won't have any say in the house anymore but the woman can be in her supermarket or boutique and go home to take of the kids. Or what do you think ?

    ReplyDelete
  132. I think the wife shd leave instead!looks like she got a upper hand in this job,prob meaning she has a higher qualification nd mayb xperience than her husband..She will end up getting another job by God's grace..i wish them well.

  133. his wife should quit the job because it's mainly the responsibility of the man to make provisions of the family needs; her monthly earning is not much greater than that of the man's. Besides, the husband can still help her secure another job somewhere else.

  137. The wife should leave, and I am not a chauvinist. If the husband leaves, it will cause problems, especially if the husband is the insecure type. The wife just has to sacrifice for the husband, so as to not crush his manly pride.
    Basically, I think it's something about which the couple needs to talk over, and arrive at a mutual agreement.

  138. If the husband were to be the higher earner, this would be a no brainer question. Its quite simple they have a hundred thousand reasons why the wife must stay employed. From a financial point of view, they go from having a joint income of 600k to 250 if the husband keeps his employment. Whereas they have 100k more if the wife keeps hers.
    I will go with more any day, any emergency may arise. More is good.

  139. From an arithmetic angle the husband should leave. However his pride will take a big blow, if he/they can look past that and the lady won't be an ass about supporting their home till he gets another job, no wahala.

  140. In my own opinion the man should leave and find a better job

  141. The woman should leave if #1 there wnt be financial pressure on the man and #2 if she prefers a happy home to a big income, because she staying wld affect the general ego of her husband.its natural.God created men to be the breadwinner, and he will be emasculated and fustrated. She shld honour her husband and leave, probably when she does, he will be promoted to her office and earn as much.

  144. The wife. Because women are easily favored when it comes to job haunting. A man ego is seriously killed when he is jobless and can not take care of his responsibility as a man.

  145. The man should leave n look 4 a place that might pay him higher than what his wife earns

    ReplyDelete
  146. obviously the one who is been paid the highest will be a senior staff than the lower pay, it might be the man who is being paid the highest or the woman cause we don't know who is being paid the highest or lowest, so i will suggest they both have a meeting and someone should step down for the other,if the man is being paid the highest i think the woman should step down and if the woman is being paid the highest the the woman should still step down and open a supermarket or something big for her self, cos if the man is always at home when he steps down, he becomes the house keeper of the house and won't have any say in the house anymore but the woman can be in her supermarket or boutique and go home to take of the kids. Or what do you think ?

  147. His wife should quit the job because it's mainly the man's responsibility to make provisions of the family needs. Besides, he can still secure even better paying job for her. Her monthly earning is not much greater than that of the husband, if it were times two or more, it would have been the other way round.

  150. Queen Linda, first of all I hope you're enjoying your vacation...Pls do oh, you've been working very hard. Then to your question, for obvious reasons and taken into consideration the nature of our economic situation, I think the man should leave the job for the wife who earns more and look for something elsewhere. It is usually more devastating for most women to leave a job they've put in so much to attain their present position/status, but a man can easily switch.

  151. Nawa ooo ,linda dis one na jamb question hahaha , everybody like money will say d man should resign cos d woman earns more but cos of d love n respect for the husband n been the head of the family d woman should resign oooo , except if d couple understand each other there is nothing wrong if d man resign oooooo

  153. It's very simple just divorce and they will both be retained

  154. The man should leave the job and let his wife continues, I have multiple reasons for this, 1 of them is; Working in the same environment with your wife will expose all your challenges to your wife, nothing is new. secondly I think man has more tenacity to face the test of time with no job than a woman. If am to be the man, am gonna leave. Haryur says so via TablePhone

  155. D lady shud quit cos she need 2take of her kids nd cook 4her husby! Although its gonna be painful!

  158. If the family really needs the money, the husband should leave and let the wife stay since she earns more.

  159. Ds is a difficult decision b'cos is not ideal for either d man or d woman to be out of job considering d situation of things in our country, but d man should leave b,cos her wives pay is better than dt of her husband supposing their is a provision to get another job for him b,cos it is not good for d man to be out of job as d head of d family. I hope his wife will cooperate in d family spending. U know what i mean.

  160. The man should leave the job.N100000

    ReplyDelete
  161. I think the man should leave just because the woman earns more and it will go a longer way while he searches for another job. N100k more as opposed to the woman leaving

  164. of course the man, the woman makes more, plus if the man stays they would loose 100,000 naira. This is about what is best for the couple, i guess the ultimate decision is theirs. Goodluck

  165. I think it's better the woman leaves b'cos she as a good qualification than the man that was why she earns more than him.. So it will be easy for her to get a better Job b'cos of her qualification

    ReplyDelete
  166. This would depend on a number of factors:- firstly, what are their respective roles, long term prospects for the different jobs i.e. promotion and where the role fits in with the long term goals of the company as some roles develop slowly but have better longer term prospects regardless of economic situation. When these have been looked at and discussed then they can decide based on informed choice as opposed to face value.

  168. The man. Imagine if the woman became the bread winner and my guy finds it difficult to get another job..
    For the woman to be earning 350k, it shows shes highly qualified. She might find another job. To be safe than sorry, the woman should step down. Come on have some respect for ya husband woman!!....Yinny

  169. The guy should leave the job, it's not easy but the family would have more money(350k) compared to 250k if he eremains.

  170. That's a complicated issue,but its preferable d wife quits even tho she ends more

    ReplyDelete
  171. the woman should be the one to quit so that she can take care of the children and cook food for her husband,i dnt mind the amount the pay the husband ok.

    ReplyDelete
  172. The husband should be the one to leave. Cos if d husband decides to stay,wat gives dem d asssurance dat the wife would get a higher salary in d new job she gets. So,to be on d safe side,the husband should be d one quitting since his pay is lesser.

    ReplyDelete
  173. Very personal. The husband & wife should sit together, analyse pros and cons of each scenario and make ana informed decision based on facts not culture or myths

  175. l think the husband should step down since the wify earns more; the wife should support her Hubby with at least # 100000 every month till he get another lucrative job. IMO

  178. In my opinion I think the lady should quit because originally its the man's duty to provide for his house-hold,and again women will always bring up trouble at any slightest mistake made by her man because she is one working for their income.

  179. The man shuld keep working cos its very difficult for men to stay without jobs. They will just ave to manage the 250k till the woman finds some oda work.God go help them sha.

  182. The woman should leave be cos the problems that will arise from the woman being the bread winner is worth more than the extra 100k.
    Don't sell the peace of ur home for 100k extra. The woman can always get another job.

  185. The man should leave the job,since the wife has made more progress with her career.

    Also at the man level he and his wife should work towards getting better alternative for the guy.
