1. My son, if you keep
spending on a woman
and she never asked
you if you’re saving or
investing, and she
keeps enjoying the
attention, don’t marry
her.
2. My son, a woman
could be a good wife to
you, some could be a
good mother to your
children but if you’ve
found a woman like a
mother to you, your
children and your
family, please don’t let
her go.
3. My son, don’t confine
the position of your
wife to the kitchen,
where did you get that
from? Even in our days,
we had farm-lands
where they worked
every morning . . . that
was our office.
4. My son, if I tell you
that you’re the head of
the house, don’t look at
your pocket; look if you
will see a smile on your
wife’s face.
5. My son, if you want
to have a long life, let
your wife be in-charge
of your salary, it will be
difficult for her to
spend it when she’s
aware of the home
needs and bills to pay
but if it’s in your care,
she will keep you
asking even when all
has been spent.
6. My son, don’t ever
beat your woman, the
pain in her body is
nothing to be
compared to the wound
on her heart and that
means you may be in
trouble living with a
wounded woman.
7. My son, now that
you’re married, if you
live a bachelor kind of
life with your wife, you
will soon be single
again.
8. My son, in our days,
we had many wives
and many children
because of our large
farm-lands and many
harvests, there are
hardly any land for
farming anymore, so
embrace your woman
closely.
9. My son, under the
cocoa tree that I did
meet your mother
could be your eateries
and restaurants of
nowadays, but
remember, the closet
thing we did there was
to embrace each other.
10. My son, don’t be
carried away when you
start making more
money, instead of
spending on those tiny
legs that never knew
how hard you worked
to get it, spend it on
that woman that stood
by you all along..>>

11. My son, when I threw
little stones or whistled
at the window of your
mother father’s house,
to call her out, it was
not for sex, it was
because I missed her
so much.
12. My son, remember,
when you say your wife
has changed, there
could be something
you’ve stopped doing
too.
13. My son, your
mother, Asake rode the
bicycle with me before I
bought that tortoise car
outside there, any
woman that won’t
endure with you in your
little beginning should
not enjoy your riches.
14. My son, don’t
compare your wife to
any woman, there are
ways she’s enduring
you too and has she
ever compared you to
any man?
15. My son, there is this
thing you people call
feminism, well, if a
woman claim to have
equal right with you in
the house, divide all the
bills into two equal
parts, take one part
and ask her to start
paying the other part.
16. My son, I met your
mother a virgin and I
took more yams to her
father, if you don’t
meet your wife a virgin,
don’t blame her, what I
didn’t tell you is that
our women had
prestige.
17. My son, I didn’t send
your sisters to school
because I was foolish
like many to think a
female child won’t
extend my family
name, please don’t
make that mistake, the
kind of female
achievers I see
nowadays has made
the male-gender an
ordinary tag.
18. My son, your mother
have once locked up
the cloth I was wearing
and almost tore it
because she was angry,
I did not raise my hand
to beat her because of
a day like this, so that I
can be proud to tell
you that I never for
once beat your mother.
19. My son, in our days,
our women had more
of natural beauty,
though I wouldn’t lie to
you, some had minor
painting of their
appellation mostly on
their arms, the ones
you people now call
tattoo, but don’t forget
that they didn’t expose
any part of their body
like your women of
nowadays.
20. My son, your
mother and I are not
interested in what
happens in your
marriage, try to handle
issues without always
coming to us.
21. My son, remember I
bought your mother’s
first sewing machine for
her, help your wife
achieve her dreams
just as you’re pursuing
yours.
22. My son, don’t stop
taking care of me and
your mother, it’s a
secret of growing old
and having children to
take care of you too.
23. My son, pray with
your family, there is a
tomorrow you don’t
know, talk to God that
knows everything,
everyday.
