Icherishu: It will surely drop, I actually learnt how to make wheat from my male friend and semolina (Even though I hate it) from my fiancée. I dislike wheat too, should be for old people. |

SirShymex: Lol it's in the nature of Africans to preserve and even haul junk around, hence you hardly see African families (except the educated & well to do ones) disposing junk they don't need. They'd rather keep it around and clog the whole place up with it.. I think in most cases, this attitude can be traced back to the poverty which is rife in Africa & sometimes compulsive hoarding disorder. Africans can be very lavish in their spending, they will buy things they don't need just for the sake of it. I laugh at these African women expressing their displeasure with performing domestic chores.. I consider it a suicidal way of thinking because I think think the ability to effectively manage a home is the number one selling point for African women so what happens when that is gone? We're going to have record numbers of singles. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Icherishu: What do you mean by comfort? I've got no problems with the use of technology, it's abuse is what I've got a problem with. Technology shouldn't encourage laziness, I cannot tolerate it, a woman should be able to able to cope with or without home appliances. If the situation warranted, I wouldn't mind hunting or fishing. Some men hunt for fun, most men don't shy away from their manly roles. 2 Likes |

50calibre: Lol, they are trying to mask laziness and disorderliness, with modernity - the paradox. I'd wager that a lot of these folks need modern brains to function effectively in today's world. You only buy what you need, and not by clogging everywhere up with useless gadgets. And not everything is fashionable just cos it is a new technology. Once you start doing that - you will effectively become a slave to machine. Compare a white household to an African one, and the difference is always clear. In African households, you will see all kinds of ridiculous gadgets hanging on the walls with the house so stuffy. But in white households, everything always look simple and spacious, with just things the family needs. Don't even get me started on the ridiculous bills they always incur, thus the bad credit. Heck, they always mess up the credit ratings of every house they live in. The mentality is just crazy. And imagine someone attaching modernity to that - FML loool. Any biitch that brings clumsiness and expending unnecessary bills to my house would get her ar.se kicked out. Buy what you need...and if there is no need for it, don't clog my house with useless gadgets. We need fresh air in here. 1 Like |

I actually took my time to read all the comments here and all I can do is SMDH all these small girls generalizing, I hope you know that those "most men" are what you all are going to marry in the future. Yes, since it's most of them it means they are in the majority. so brace yourselves for a shitty marriage. I laugh in every language ever spoken by man. Shey "most men" want their wives to suffer --- that man is going to be your portion Shey "most men" are abusive --- your future husband Shey "most men" will call you lazy because you are using a dishwasher, washing machine etc-- brace yourself sweetheart, it's coming your way. Lol... unless you won't marry at all. and for those who claim to be married, shebi your husband wants you to suffer, abuse you and call you lazy ass when you demand for washing machine and all those gadgets abi? FAKE people everywhere you go. 2 Likes |

All these people saying they learnt how to cook from friends, flatmates and associates, where were you raised? In nigeria, these are things you're supposed to learn at home, especially if you're female? |

I personally know men on this forum that have the mentality of "I cannot enter kitchen, for what na?" There's no point going back and forth, now if you have this line of thought then please, the unfortunate woman who marries you, need all the extra help she can get. 5 Likes 1 Share |

the only logical reason for a man complaining about yam pounder is he cannot deal with the cost of the machine I bought one the other year, cost like 50k but the convenience it brings is amazing if dish washer dey, by all means she should use that too she can spend her time more efficiently, nothing wrong with that if she is watching telemundo (for the love of God ) then she is giving me ME time, which is always desirable 4 Likes |

I don't think suffering defines a good African wife. Yes our culture depicts a good wife as that one who can do all those chores among other things but modern women still get d same tasks done with their gadgets. Our husbands too are moving with d times as some of them buy these gadgets for their homes. Now that wives are expected to also work n contribute to d family expenses, any help she can get with house chores is welcome. My humble submission 2 Likes |

SirShymex: Hahaha reminds me of Apple slaves, bunch of idiots who camp out overnight just to be the first to lay their hands on the latest apple phone or tablet.. That is crazy & technology companies are feeding off this insanity. White households reason differently, once an appliance becomes redundant, they get rid of it.. they don't play with their space. Well if she's able to cover the bills & insurance on the appliances, that's cool else, we're going to have problems. |

50calibre: Lol, these folks just like bastardising everything by attaching importance to frivolities. It seems a lot of them were ra.ped as a kid, and whoever did it must have busted a nut on their brain. And that shiit is clogging up their mentality. Run my darn bills up with all kinds of gadgets all in the name of being a modern woman - FOH. Nah biitch, the modern woman is a driven career woman, and someone doesn't dwell on unnecessary things to mask her stupidity. She understands the need to be prudent, and that not everything is fashionable. You buy what you need, and leave the rest on the shelf. And she must also understand that the house needs space, for fresh air. This thread is basically just like going to Nigeria, and seeing folks in freaking banger Peugeot 406 that you can pickup from the auction for £800, being chauffeured everywhere. And you have to question what the fvck these folks need a driver for in a banger. If you've got a Rolls-Royce, then it's understandable. But fvcking Peugeot! It's just the type of inane mentality. Lazy fvckers! 2 Likes |
