I got this on FB and thought it wise to share
with you guys. It's funny but there are a lot
of sense here:
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; take
charge.
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, when you marry, if you live a
bachelor-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 your money on those tiny leg grlss
that never knew how hard you worked to get
it, spend it on that woman that stood by you
even when there was no money, not those
always asking for money .
11. My son, when I threw little stones or
whistled at the window of your mum father’s
house, to call her out, it was because I missed
her so much.
12. My son, whenever your girl changes, if
it's because of money, then she wont be a
good wife.
13. My son, your mother, 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, make her see reasons to change
until u get tired.
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.
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, handle your issues.
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 your own 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.
