Don’t check your husbands phones, Kwankwaso warns new brides at Kano mass wedding
Don’t check your husbands phones, Kwankwaso warns new brides at Kano mass wedding
Presidential candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) in the February 25, 2023 election, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has cautioned newly wedded wives against checking their husband’s phones.
Kwankwaso said this could lead to a marriage break-up.
He spoke at the reception organised for the mass marriage of 1,800 couples by the Kano State Government at the Open Theatre in Kano Government House on Saturday.
Kwankwaso who had earlier hailed the mass wedding as a move towards social cohesion and morality check, said, “You have been advised by all and sundry. I believe you have been advised a thousand times.
“Ulamas, parents, relatives and even business people have advised you on how to live peacefully with one another.
“But, I have one single piece of advice for you, that is, checking your spouses’ phones. Don’t peep your spouses’ phones as that is the major cause of marriage breakup these days.”
Kwankwaso lauded the political commitment demonstrated by Governor Abba Yusuf for making the exercise a reality.

“I moved out of his house but returned after he promised to stop. He never stopped,” she said.
Ibrahim told the court that her husband moved out of their house to live with his parents when he could no longer get money from her.
The respondent, however, told the court that he was sorry and promised to change.
“I promise to stop gambling. Please give me another chance to make amends.
The presiding Judge, Hammad Ajumonbi, advised the respondent to stop gambling.
“If you continue gambling, you might lose everything you worked for, he said.
Ajumonbi, however, granted the plea of the respondent and gave him one week to change his behavior.
He also asked him to pay back the money he owed his wife and be a responsible husband.
He adjourned the case until May 23, for report of settlement.
