Suppose a man uses it to get back at a woman for refusing to dance to his tune, and spends her savings on his mistresses? Or stupidly gambles everything, buys his fantasy motorbike or some random ‘gadget’? Suppose he dies and his family claims all ‘his’ money. This is Africa and he is the head of the family; how do you argue that you contribute to what is in ‘your’ fat account? And who will listen? All these are very solid fears.
Joint accounts come with arguments. When you are not in good terms, won’t he try to get back at you by not consenting to your spending? He is only human. You will be guilty after spending money on something your partner sees as a luxury. It creates a need to justify your expenditure each time, and you are enslaved.
When you have a dream business that your spouse does not approve of, you are stuck between having to forgo it or him. A separate account guarantees satisfaction and control, so that you can dare to dream and watch those dreams transform to reality. Separate accounts have nothing to do with trust or love. No! Financial decisions should not be dealt with emotionally. They just make things simpler, clearer and ‘safer’.
Joint Accounts does it actually Enslave Women

Whether joint or no Joint, Once a man and woman decide to join together in holy matrimonial, They become one, anything the man owns is for the woman, no matter how long you've been tilling the ground making that savings and so on, call it Savings or Current Account, both of you are heirs of that, likewise the woman, Most of us forget that when they fill the forms to open account at the bank, there's a column that ask, next of kin ?? Many people do fix their wife name or child, that's to show you the automatic joint account both of you have.
