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.

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.
Re: Many Yoruba Dialects Not Intelligible by nlPoster: 8:57pm On Jan 18, 2020
Are you asking why people (Nigerians included) like eating out?

Rich Yorubas employ cooks. Sometimes the restaurant owner can function as the cook. I think I know who you're talking about, although I have no idea why you're taking it so personally.

It's their money, not yours.

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.

Everybody can't just be aggressive, rude and pushy, all of us can't just be the same, we grew up in different conditions and environments
