”I fully align with Bishop David Oyedepo’s position that a wife is to be subject to her husband”- Reno Omokri

Reno Omoki says he is totally behind the position of clergyman, Bishop David Oyedepo, who says a wife must be subject to her husband.

This is also why I have counselled (and been insulted for it) that unless a woman has seen a man when he is angry, she should think twice before marrying him.
