  • How To Be The ‘Perfect’ Nigerian Wife

    How To Be The ‘Perfect’ Nigerian Wife

    Here’s a simple guide on how to be the kind of wife Nigerian men seem to want. From never questioning him, to allowing him to cheat as much as he wants, these impossible tips will work for you.

    1. Thank him every day for ‘saving’ you from the clutches of spinsterhood.

    You know marriage is EVERY woman’s goal.

    2. Marry as a virgin, but be a freak in the sheets on your wedding night.

    Just instinctively know how to do everything in the bedroom.

    3. Remember to never ask questions, challenge him or disagree.

    He is always right. Just leave it.

    4. Lose that pregnancy weight right there on the delivery table.

    Back to a size 8 immediately.

    5. Never fall sick, complain or get tired.

    Basically be superwoman.

    6. Have a washing machine, but still lovingly handwash his underwear.

    That’s true love right there.

    7. Always wake up before him, so you can do “one or two things” around the house.

    Why should your husband wake up before you?

    8. Get a well-paying job, but make sure you never earn more than him.

    If they offer you a pay raise, turn it down.

    9. Make sure that job doesn’t stop you from taking the kids to school, picking them, and helping with their homework.

    So, basically a 10 – 2 job. Don’t ask questions, just find it.

    10. Never cheat on your husband, but forgive him if he ever ‘accidentally’ cheats on you.

    You know men will be men.

    11. Also remember to apologize when he cheats, because it was most likely your fault.

    If you were being the perfect wife he wouldn’t have fallen inside another woman. Oya say sorry.

    12. Figure out how to always have a hot meal waiting on the table before you get home.

    Just figure it out.

    13. Throw away that microwave, the food must always be freshly made.

    What are you warming?

    14. Remember to always praise your husband whenever he does anything around the house.

    Remember it’s your work, he is just helping.

    15. Look like a supermodel while doing house chores.

    Don’t ever tie a wrapper in front of him.  Do everything in heels.

    16. But never be indecently dressed in public or else:

    You know the drill.

  • How To Be The ‘Perfect’ Nigerian Child

    How To Be The ‘Perfect’ Nigerian Child

    1. You have to come out of the womb knowing how to wash dishes and sweep the house.

    Why else do you think you were born?

    2. You have to be very talented but you cannot become a musician.

    Use your talents to entertain us around the house.

    3. If you are having academic issues, keep it to yourself.

    All your parents want to see are those As.

    4. As a Nigerian child, your career options are limited to Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer…maybe Accountant.

    In that order. The lower you go, the more disappointing you are.

    5. You’re a child, so everything that goes wrong in the house is your fault.

    …even when it isn’t, just accept the beating.

    6. As a Nigerian child you need to be self sufficient from babyhood.

    Wake yourself up, dress yourself up and drive yourself to school.

    7. You should have no social life, but you must get married at the appointed time.

    No one cares how you do it, just make it happen.

    8. Remember to never ask questions, challenge your parents or disagree.

    You’re a child, you have no opinions.

    9. Don’t try to have a conversation with your parents. You should be seen not heard.

    Okay?

    10. Anticipate your parents’ needs, so that you can fulfill it before they even ask.

    That’s a good boy!

    11. You should have all the available meanings of ‘kini’ at your fingertips so that when your mom says “Bring my Kini”, you’re there.

    This is it!

    12. If your mother ever has to make her own meals or wash a dish, you have failed as a child.

    Just so you know.
