Whose Responsibility Is To Pound Yam. Husband Or Wife by dotuna3(m): 1:42pm On Jul 31, 2014 |
Is very funny yesterday when i make visit to a family.Though i went to the husband's office and from there he said we are going to his new house he just moved to.Getting home we met the wife and jokingly they said they will give me a good meal and i said i will prefer pounded yam since am just coming into their new apartment not knowing i don cause kasala . After the wife finished putting the yam on fire and the yam is done she called her husband for the pounding the hushand responded with eheeennnnn wetin? i should come and pound what? is like you are sick, is it because i sometime help you in pounding yam?.the woman responded with " how will tell me that is it my duty as a woman to be pounding it after i put it on fire? where do you want me to see the power? is that how uncle seun use to do to his wife?'. for my mind i know i don cause wahala so i said they should not worry i will do the pounding since i get power. lol. but my qusetion is. who is to do the pounding, the woman or the man? |

If it's the duty of the woman to cook then she should pound the yam as well as it's also part of cooking. However, men should be benevolent enough to help their wives pound the yam or rich enough to afford an electronic yam pounder. 2 Likes |

sameer1212: wat if d maid she is not big enof to pound nko?Well, I was kidding The woman should have used wisdom. The question of who should or shouldn't ought'nt arise. Traditionally, Cooking's the woman's duty, Pounding that yam shouldn't be any different |

Re: Whose Responsibility Is To Pound Yam. Husband Or Wife by beau49: 3:12pm On Jul 31, 2014 |
funny....I don't think it is anybody's duty,it all depends on the strength of the husband or wife. Sometimes the lady might not have the kind of strength for pounding and vice versa. And in a situation whereby both can't pound,then they should settle for poundo yam or get the machine for pounding or better still forget about eating pounded yam. 1 Like |

Hahaha. Funny issue. I'll say depends on the quantity. I've never pounded yam/fufu or anything poundable before. So I can't really say if it's hard work or not. But I guess it is. So if the quantity is too big that it'll make her go out of breathe pounding it,pls be a gentleman and do it I'm saying because the only pounding I've seen is during oil palm processing.and it is the men that do it in my area because it is heavy work for women. While the women concentrate on delicious soup making. Division of labor. See? Problem solved. 1 Like |

MzMariah: I did.it depends on culture. Where I grew up, there is no big deal in pounding yam by a man. At least, I did many times before mama left us. I may be losing the skills already cos it's now like once a year wherein it used to be weekly thing. That thing dey scatter head with better soup. and if the yam get starch ye ye ye ye....

There are small ones. Some gas/oven size while some are table top size. For modern kitchens. Does about everything. Not only pounding. But in only small family size quantities. That's if the man is one of those people who doesn't trust the yam flour but prefers his poundo made from fresh yams. If not,the yam flour is the easiest option. onirugbon1: |

where I grew up, women don't enforce, it's more like a mutual responsibility. If the man isn't around, women don't complain. They pound it and do it very well ALONE. It depends on culture. 1 Like |

There is God o. Make my oga dey pound yam for visitor front.....ERA NNMO God punish devil. 1sExy1, I am a delta woman and I'm very use to pounding anything poundable. I can pound for 10 people and I nor go tire. I use to have a pic of me pounding in my diary but the tuanami took it away. Even if my hubby pounds for me and I need him to helpe pound I will no how to go about it and not disgracing myself in front of my visitor.

onirugbon1:I know right? He's as far from traditionalist as they come. We've never even talked about poundo before. Which reminds me I'll raise the topic and ask him if he likes it. Maybe he's never asked because he feels it'll be a lot of trouble for me. |

MzMariah: Bia, u dey f up big time. So make my mama sit down dey look my papa go tie wrapper abi wear boxers dey pound yam for visitor..wtf sorry, I didn't read the OP before commenting. I no even know say na husband and wife thing sef. I was just speaking based on normal context that involved me, my younger sister and you don't expect me to allow my mum pound na. So, my apologies once again. If na wife, it depends o. But in the context of the OP, the wife fvck up. She should have done it codedly. Like the husband pointed out, na because him dey help her do am and most people often abuse privilege of that kind. |
