There is an ongoing conversation on twitter about how appropriate it is for a man to take care of his wife’s family. They are discussing the issues involved, if it is his responsibility or just a thing to be done out of benevolence.
Well, a particular lady with handle @Queen_minic said that it is not a man’s responsibility to take care of his wife’s immediate family. She said the woman should go and get a job and help her parents and siblings if she wants to. In her opinion, the man should be allowed the liberty to choose if he wants to help the family or not.

Well, it is said in Igbo that ‘Ogo bu Chi onye’. This means that your in-law is your saviour. So technically, the Igbo tradition recognises an in-law as a helper to the family. Maybe this does not apply to other backgrounds. Do you think a man should help his wife’s family?
