Just Lie Down and Open Your Legs – Veekee James’ Marriage Advice Sparks Debate

Nigerian fashion designer and influencer, Veekee James, has sparked widespread online debate following her controversial marriage advice urging women to fully submit to their husbands, including the phrase: “Just lie down and open your legs.” The statement came during a recent public appearance where Veekee spoke about her Christian beliefs on marriage. While speaking on the role of wives, she emphasized that submission is key, even in intimate matters. “Your husband is the head. When he wants you, you don’t say no. Just lie down and open your legs,” she said.

Her comments quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions. Some supporters praised her for defending biblical values and traditional gender roles in marriage. Others, however, criticized the statement as promoting unhealthy expectations and disregarding a woman’s autonomy.

Critics argue that her words reduce marital intimacy to obligation, rather than mutual consent and love. “Marriage isn’t slavery,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Even in marriage, both partners deserve respect and communication.” Supporters countered by pointing out that Veekee James was speaking from a religious and personal perspective, and that her advice was meant for women who share her beliefs. “She’s speaking to Christian wives who understand submission in a biblical sense,” a fan defended.

The debate reflects ongoing tensions in Nigerian society over the roles of women in marriage, religious expectations, and modern relationship dynamics. Veekee has yet to respond further to the backlash, but the discussion shows no signs of slowing down. As social media continues to dissect her words, it raises broader questions about the balance between faith, tradition, and individual rights in today’s relationships.
