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 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, so that your children will take
care of you too.

DAMN

Very encouraging
