Contest: Who Should Make Big Decisions- Mom Or Dad?".
Who do you think should always make the big decisions in the family, Dad or Mom?
The father, as the head of the household, should be the one to make decisions in the family so that everything can be under good control and in an orderly manner. The father is a decision-maker; even in my own tribe, mothers are not allowed to make decisions, but their role is to take care of the children's well-being.
The father is the man who provides for the family because he participates more in deciding the roles the children may play in community development. Fathers are leaders who guide other members to the right path. In the household, they apply their wisdom to solve the obstacles experienced by the family, no matter how things may look.
What is Your reason for choosing either?
I choose a father because he is the one who can discipline a child if he or she does something that is very bad. He serves as the guardian who always cautions a child if he or she wants to go astray.
A father, as the head of the family, provides shelter, food, and protection for the child if they are hurt in one way or another. Most fathers always observe their children well, especially regarding the friends they have. Whether they have good friends, the child is safe, and if they have bad friends, they know the methods they will use to chase them away.
Fathers always have a listening ear, especially about the things that will help the family progress. They do not belittle the other members of the family; they always communicate and provide feedback when necessary.
Do you think big decisions should be left for only one person to make?
A father cannot do everything alone; in fact, a good father always seeks the opinion of his wife and listens to them so that everything can work perfectly within the family setting. As a mother who always stays with a child most of the time because the father does not always stay at home, he goes to work to ensure he provides for the family. The mother knows the challenges the child faces or some kinds of behavior that are not good for their well-being.
It is the duty of the mother to inform her husband so that appropriate steps can be taken to ensure such a child becomes a responsible person in life. A father cannot do everything, but he is the head of the family and a powerful decision-maker.
What is your advise to families going through this phase on deciding who should make big decisions?
Fathers must be allowed to make decisions in the family. Even if the wife is richer than her husband, she must respect him because that's how God created them to perform their roles in the family setting.
Every tribe in Nigeria knows the role fathers play within the family because they are trustworthy, full of wisdom, and make judgments without feeling biased towards others. So we must allow them to make decisions so that our families can be in good shape within the community we find ourselves. Fathers are the big decision makers, and others see them as their role models.
I would like to invite @ridwant, @adylinah and @ruthjoe to join me.
I apologize in advance. I agree with you and the traditions that apply in your tribe. Yes, we all have different social groups and, of course, different rules and traditions, which we respect.
But personally, what happens in my family is actually 50-50, meaning my wife and I both play an equal role in covering the gaps, because there are many small gaps in our household that a father cannot accommodate. I am personally busy with work at the office and taking the kids to and from school, while my wife has many jobs, even more so than I am outside the home. So, almost 70% of the family's problems are handled by my wife, and I support her, except for the difficult ones, we will solve them together.
Please forgive me if there are any errors in this explanation. Thank you for inviting me to this exciting contest. Best of luck to you, my brother..

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
Saludos apreciado amigo. También considero que el padre es cabeza de hogar, no obstante es necesario que se tome en cuenta a la madre, consultar su opinión es necesario por ella también forma parte de la familia. Bendiciones y éxitos para ti.
