Any man wey no fit boil water before him marry don fail life test

I was sitting on my veranda this morning, reading Tribune, when my daughter call me from Lagos. She say her husband cannot even boil water. The man is 38 years old. 38! I ask her, how did you not see this before you marry him? She say he was living with his mother before.

In my time in the civil service, we used to say a man who cannot feed himself cannot lead a department. Now we have a whole generation of men who cannot fry egg. Their mothers did everything for them. Now they expect wife to continue the work. And the wife is also working 9 to 5. Ishe o.

I told my daughter, this is not small thing. A man who cannot enter kitchen is a man who cannot enter your shoes. He will not understand when you are tired. He will not see your stress. My own wife of 38 years, I can cook. Not because I am special. Because my mother in Ibadan here did not raise a king. She raised a man.

But let me ask una something. If a woman cannot cook at all, is it the same problem? Or we only measure men by this standard? Abeg, make una tell me true true.
