His remarks came after some social media users reportedly advised him to choose his mother instead of his wife, Jarvis, in matters relating to family and legal responsibilities.

The statement has sparked fresh conversations online about marriage, family priorities and the meaning of “next of kin.” In the satirical court of internet opinion, many users joked that Nigerians have become experts in other people’s family decisions without ever seeing the paperwork.
