It one of the romantic things u can do in marriage.i have tried it numberless tyms and i believe that is what has brought us this far in our marriage lyf.she loves me so much .Mutally,In bed she does aaaall d job .

chiover: Us men have big prob, why won't I cook for my wife? I am saying it loud and clear I can wash my wife's pant and it wont mek me a poor man. Op pls have a rethink though is obvious women are ingrates but we are under obligation to love and pamper them.

Well said....Even the bible commands dat a man should love his wife...cooking for her at times is part of the loving.Sometimes Hubby treats d kids and I to his own very special but different dish...There's something sexy about watching him cook(I help out though)....makes me love him even more...and whatz more...he's complete African.

My dad does not allow my mom pound yam o cuz he belives pounding yam is too tasking for a woman, d day she tried it he was furious at her.

Poor man? How? Nor be the pant cover something wen he go still suck? No problem if he wash pant.

lucenzo: o boy, if you wash your wife's pant then you no say water don pass garri. you are a poor man

freecocoa: Just see your life.

What is the difference between what we have both said? You won't allow your girl pound manually and I won't pound manually so...?

Better put on your reading glasses before replying to my posts.

You don't have to sound rude.
The difference is that, I'm the man not allowing my lady pound not her refusing to pound. Actually she wants to and she sees nothing wrong with it. I feel it doesn't have to be that difficult, at least there's poundo yam or yam pounder. Life's been made easier why allow her go through the stress. In your post you seem to be doing what the op is doing only that he is clinging to some manly ego and you to womanly. So, i don't think I need any reading glasses.

Balkan: This rubbish! Please it does not happen in Igbo land. Its a shame for any man to do it. Just like a woman eating on the same plate with the husband. That is why thngs are bad today.

Wow :-/

I apologize if you think I was rude.

My first reply came as a result of some men saying they can help in the kitchen save for yam pounding, now between a man and a woman who do you think should take up the task of pounding yam? If you think it okay for a woman, you will have no qualms with your girl doing it, you don't allow her do it cos you prolly think its too tasking for her.

Women don't pound anything hard in my house and that's how I grew up, it has nothing to do with ego or pride for me, I believe its just too stressful for a woman and we can all agree that the less strenuous chores often goes to the woman so please, I don't sound nor reason like the OP.

Freecocoa, wetin dey happen now? come and pound yam for me abeg...

Acidosis: Freecocoa, wetin dey happen now? come and pound yam for me abeg...

Lol, all these guys jumping up; I will cook, I will cook for my wife just to get applaud and nairaland e-female admiration, u know who u are n what u can do n not do, so stop saying what isn't the truth.

Majority of Nigerian men will never want to cook or help their wives in the kitchen, that's the truth. In fact most even marry to avert such duties like- cooking, house keeping, etc, so why are we fooling ourselves just becos we r online, huh?

Finally, all these things Nigerian women are demanding n calling romantic to lure guys into it just to appear romantic, hmmm, na play play our women done de re-colonize and re-dominate us o...from equall right to employment to equal right in legislator positions, in the name of gender-equality, and now same sharing of kitchen and household chores, who knows what next? Lol

Maybe women should be allowed to be marrying and paying bride price of men too, and soon men will turn to women and vice versa, guys shine una eyes o, lol, women are using tactics on u guys o, lol

iTS an abomination for an african MAN to enter the kitchen!!

infact thank God sef say i nor sabi cook

my woman kuku know that one sef so no qualms

no expectations!! last time i tried cooking, I ended up burning the boiling water

Real african man abi. Kudos to u. 4 yo mind u don talk sense.
The real african man shud love his wife and help her out when she is in need. R u sayn dt if she's ill u won't help her out. Do u mean 2 say u cnt make a meal to save ur life.u shud be ashamed. The world will be a better place without men like u. I suggest u change ur attitude n beg ur wife to teach u how to cook.

davidylan:

Grow up. your wife is not your servant but your best friend and lover. I dont know what is wrong with doing dishes and helping to cook and clean. I would rather help out so she can finish quickly and we can move on to more fun stuff than cross my legs in the parlor while she slaves away.

Dear Father, Please give me a husband like this sweet guy! You know my hear desires..You said I should ask and you would give to me. There are lots of archaic thinking traditional African guys out there..please don't let them cross my path for marriage..Thank you Jesus!

I understand where you dey go but all women no dey like that, only wicked, disrespectful and ungrateful ones behave like that.

Seriously though, its no big deal helping out your wife\girlfriend in the kitchen.

Guys tell yourselves the truth o, some of these western culture is destroying our marriage and family system and value. Women honour thy husbands pls n pls, don't make it a priority that your husband must be a chef cooking for u always before u can see him as romantic, its wrong in our Nigerian family setting.

If he has passion for cooking, let him do it when he please, don't take advantage of that and turn him to your cook and house boy in the name of he is romantic pls n pls.

Say no to some of these western norms and cultures that are now killing our marriage system without our knowledge pls
