Amongst the ndi Igbo, a man and a woman are not equal and do not share equal rights.
A man/husband is superior to his wife and is the undisputed head of his family.
The Igbo woman is raised to submit to him and take care of her home which she owns through her husband.
The ancient Igbo women, just like the biblical Sarah, call their husbands “My Lord” this translates to ‘Onye nwem’ in Igbo language.
It is important to note that a woman is not neglected in the Igbo culture, the man is only placed slightly above her….Seê _ Morê
