Popular pastor and evangelist Ebuka Obi expressed that a man should not buy his wife a car before buying one for his mother.

He made this known to all and sundry during a recent ministration session with his congregation.

He stated that any man who buys a car for his wife before providing one for his mother is “nothing short of a fool at 40.”

Evangelist Ebuka Obi explained that, before spending money on a car for his wife, his conscience reminds him of the sacrifices his mother made raising him long before he met his wife.

He highlighted how mothers are often willing to sacrifice more for their children than a wife might for her husband.

In his words; “It’s very wrong to buy a car for your wife before you buy one for your mother, your mother has been there for you since you were a baby and your mother can lay her life down for you but your wife can’t, your wife’s eyes is on your property.”

kamo_state: You guys should leave this wife to mother competition and preach about something else nah 😂😂.

unique.accent: No one compares fathers to husbands because these men, especially fathers don’t have time for all these. Why always compare wives and mothers? Did the bible not say “A man will leave his father and mother and be joined with his wife and the two shall become one flesh?” As a married man, your primary responsibility is with your family, not your father’s family. Every other family is secondary. Please, be mindful of the people you receive advice from. Some speak from limited level of understanding.

oluchukwu_____: This is very true pls .. no woman can replace your mum .. do everything for her first 👏👏.

living_largee: Man of God, brotherhood is proud of you 👏.

mosesdee1: To think many men will still take this type of advice in 2024 is really a pity! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ If you want to compare the love between a wife and a mother, why not go ahead and marry your mother? Something dey really worry many of una for head! 😒.

teamkingsworld: Please Govt should help create more jobs, a lot of Nigerians are jobless so they always looking for were to go and listen to nonsense, My mother won’t even support this because she was once or still a wife to my father, let me buy for my wife and let my father buy for his wife and let my son buy for his wife… as simple as that, this preaching is downgrading women, you might think he’s praising mothers until your daughter is married and you face reality, ladies leave family to go build with a man, it should remain equal right as she’s the only true family to a man, mother or father etc are only blood related, Na wife be the main family… Okay just my opinion and note, you don’t love your mother more than I love mine 🙌🏾.

kennedythemanager: Your wife is also a mother to your children, if u have the capacity to buy two cars buy it, but as for me buying for my wife will come first for family runs, unless the car is a necessity for my mum or even my wife’s mother. Your wife is my first priority as a husband. No mother will want her child to go before him, same way your wife will take a bullet for your child too. It’s a two way thing therefore I put my wife first before my mum. And that doesn’t mean I don’t care about mum, she’s my loving mother of course and I go show her love too, but my dear MY BABY gets the car first 😍😍.

vincentokonkwo: This is a sensitive issue. Ur mum gave birth to you but ur wife gave birth to your children who bear your name. Omo buy for both of them if you can but I don’t think your mum will support ur wire and kids taking buses and taxis only for her to be driving jeep bought by you so I do not entirely agree to this advice o man of God 😂🤔.

code_pg: Thank God my dad already bought for his wife (my mum) … make I focus on my wife too so my children wont have to do my wife (their mum) vs their wives.
