On June 4, 2024, stand-up comedienne Helen Paul stirred controversy by suggesting that women’s salaries should be paid directly to their partners’ bank accounts. She shared this provocative idea on her Instagram account, asking other women for their opinions on the matter. Helen wrote, “I think women’s salaries should be paid directly to their husband’s bank account. My fellow women, what do you think?”
Her post quickly gained traction, sparking a mixed response from her followers. While some women agreed with her, many others vehemently disagreed.
Instagram user @samadeyemi2002 supported the idea, commenting, “Correct! I have seen a family where ATM and bank account alert for the wife is with the husband. They are still happily married till now.”
Conversely, @therealstloui, who identified as a man, disagreed, stating, “I am not a woman, but I say no way.”
User @dewealthy.kitchen shared a personal experience, agreeing with Helen’s suggestion: “Exactly what I’ve been doing 7 years in marriage, ask my husband.”

User @abisgangan was emphatic in their rejection, saying, “God forbid bad thing.”
Supporter @rosy4thetruth expressed firm backing, stating, “Set the record, I’m fully behind you. You will indeed be a very good pacesetter.”
However, @doctoraljokes_ humorously commented, “Yes, they should send it directly into our bank account. After all, we are the head of the family.”
In contrast, @abbeyige questioned the seriousness of the suggestion, writing, “I think you’re joking.”
User @adeoye.aderonke simply wondered, “Say wetin happen?”
