edoairways:niggar don't fallacy me. I know thousands of men who don't eat their wife's food. I'll tell you one story. I and my guys had a painting job. It was the biggest painting job we had, and this man came home with food from shop rite for dogs. The wife came collected the food and threw it in the dust bin. Their house girl told us the man doesn't eat the wife's food. |

robinso01: It can be quite tiresome. I seriously dont know how the early visitors to Nigeria dealt with all this to form the country of today? |
Re: Many Yoruba Dialects Not Intelligible by Charleys: 8:57pm On Jan 18, 2020 |
Osaze007: Don't change the topic, a yoruba man will never eat his wife's food but will rather eat outside in the junction where iya basira cooks. |

Osaze007: I have never said anything about yorubas being cowards or owning 99% of Lagos. I asked a simple question. Why do men from the south west don't eat their wife's food. Note, every Yoruba man knows at least two men who don't eat their wife's food. |
