JOE ODUMAKIN: “MY HUSBAND, YINKA, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS. WE ARGUE BUT WE DON’T FIGHT”

Dr. Joe Odumakin,prominent Nigerian female activist, has slammed critics who think her husband, Yinka’s decision politically is a problem to their marriage. Joe Odumakin took to Twitter earlier yesterday where she tweeted, “Even while Yinka was spokesperson 4 #Buhari, I wasn’t with him all that. Same now! But he wasn’t a “politician” to U then, but now. #Curious. Again, my own only role is to ensure fair treatment of “all citizens.
“I’m not interested in what tribe, religion or color gains in power. Yinka & I are couple. Yet, we are individuals. He’s responsible for his individual actions, and I for mine, except we when we act together. When Yinka was speaking for #Buhari, I wasn’t in the film with him. How then shd I hv problem with him bcos he says his conviction changed? I counsel women in marriages & they live “well together”.
Couple is abt coping! Just argue rationally but respect individual last decisions. When Yinka was speaking for #Buhari, I wasn’t in the film with him. The only good you can do for ur conscience is to “NOTE” dat Yinka’s actions are his; mine are mine! We argue but we don’t fight. #ForCouples. Yes, argue. Debate. But don’t force. It’s important! Respect ur man/woman. If persuasion doesn’t work now, it’s ok.
“It will work next time. Allowing ur partner try out his/her conviction is part of showing him/her what you mean in demonstration. S/he may be right, by the results! If you can’t live together with different views as couple, you can explain why ethnics & religions have crisis living together as a Nation. Accommod8 ur different views, but make necessary “discriminations”. Family> Community> Nation. It’s abt tolerance for the other. #ForCouples”.
