Lol. You can’t recognize a tease World Best Husband. I have no interest in birds. You can read up on it and know if it is safe to give your imaginary daughter one. You can even create a thread to show us the journey, I am interested in seeing how that goes.

Well said. The woman cooked the damn meal in the past with pregnancy. Cooks the food he eats everyday, but because she refused to cook this particular one- some goody-two-shoes have refused to see this is beyond cooking.

That is exactly how side-chicks behave. Complain about your wife and they'll act like they are way better than her. Till you marry them of course. Cooking starts from the brain and this woman’s brain is obviously not at peace with something that happened in the last meeting.

OP should fix that. That is what I would do if he decides not to do something he has been doing with good mind before. The thread is an imaginative one, but lessons to be learned.
If you believe the Op's tall tales then you'll believe Buhari is the one ruling this country. This story is as fake as Nicki Minaj's oversized buttocks.

Don’t mind SirMichael. I know him and I know it is fabu. I just addressed what I felt didn’t add up.

As for Nicki’s ass, it is the new cool. The number of doctored nyashes I see in Lekki now ehn. It would soon be a normal thing like getting nails done.

Don't bother yourself. Op is a stubborn man, and his wife is equally stubborn.
If your woman served them the first time and now says no, and you don't have her mumu button to get her to agree, then their problems goes beyond just cooking.


Exactly what I have been trying to say. There are probably some underlying issues.

Honestly. The wife tried. A pregnant woman cooking for so many people.
And now if she says no, he ought to understand. I remember him replying someone's comment that he can't have a wife and go and employ a caterer whilst his wife is there.
What arrogance!
Seems he prides his reputation above the cordial relationship between him and his wife.
And the wife being unwilling, if all he says is true, of having begged her and stuff points to more nagging issues in their marriage.


Meanwhile in another response, he said his heart beats only for his daughter. Who knows the state of the relationship with his wife.

i sincerely hope you are not a woman, cos if you are you got zero shame, so you will sit in the house yle a caterer cums cooking for your husband guest, its a dinner not party,
so on the dinning table, how will you feel when the guest start complimenting the meal thinking its yur dish.

Don't look at it as you doing "her duty", that could breed resentment.

I think this mentality is only restricted to Nigerian women. I'm sure if that guy married a white woman, he wouldn't dare to ask her cook for whoever for any reason.

Hocus pocus. Yet another bogus statement and yet again, more falacies.

Due to your infinitesimal value on the myopic reasoning scale, you have failed to realize -maybe owned to the fact of your shallow reasoning, that white families host guests from time to time with mostly their husbands doing the grillings, while the wives man the kitchen. The guest of the husband is also the wife's and vice versa.

If you'll bring references, make sure to verify them before airing them. The world is constantly rotating, therefore, stop circulating ignorance with it. Be wise.

Agbegbaorogboye:
I must say i'm disappointed with a lot of comments I read here.

1. The gathering is one of gentlemen who are members of an organization and who hold a monthly meeting to discuss issues of common interests. That's networking and social bonding.

2. The meetings are held in members' residences, being rotated amongst them. By implication, each member gets to host an average of once in two years. This is a very suitable idea for a homely interface which reinforces the fact in them that they are responsibly married men.

3. I'm sure the husband for the past 1year and 8months has visited the house of others and eaten there with the rest of the members. The wives of the host at such meeting must have also played the same role he is asking of his wife. If contrary were to be the case, i'm sure he won't be so insistent on it.

With the above three, it will be obvious to anyone with a modicum of sense of responsibility and reciprocity that changing the trend when it gets to his turn will raise eyebrows among the members and he'll end up looking like a sort of killjoy among his peers.
It's a sacrifice albeit one that the wife who is the hostess should embrace in this case. Or which would she prefer? That her husband spends sunday evening smoking weed and drinking at a joint or discussing life's issues with fellow responsibly married men?
I really fear for the women we have nowadays. I do. If you are irritated by the thought of a communal gathering in your house by responsible people, then I beg to ask what sort of gathering you will prefer in your house.
If the wife feels the task is too heavy, she should be the one to suggest catering services to the husband. Or better still get some friends to help. I have attended birthdays of kids from families who can't afford caterers and the wives are the ones who take up the entertainment in such cases.
But to read the kind of insults some people who I suspect are women throw at the gentleman for asking his wife to help him entertain his guests in his house, I suspect we may be steadily building a generation of Jezebels and not Sarahs. Even a certain Sarah20A is in on the nonsense. How discomforting.
As for me, it's obvious that from the ladies of these days, family and communal values are presently being eroded and they are beginning to see themselves as "alpha females" which in all honesty is a cause for concern for our children.

Thank you.
Your key words "It's a sacrifice albeit one that the wife who is the hostess should embrace in this case."
Your above comment said it all
Nigeria is finish
I am very sad to read all the comment
I guess there are lot of kids here with no life experiences

She said she can't. Leave her nw. Because she did the first one you now readily accepted the second again.That'swhy they say don't start what you can't finish. Nigerian wives really suffer oo.



But must you cook in this economy wey keep face lyk this?
You can buy drinks with meat pie
or
pepper soup and order for agidi(Eko) that's less stressful
or
use the caterer
or
even cook it yourselves to foster the unity more.

People/Guests bring meals during cookouts in summer. Some may bring salads, cakes, small chops, rice, wine and all kinds drinks etc when coming. You will have a large spread of home made meals brought in by different families.
Barbecues are also done by the men including the host and his guests.
Don't get it twisted.
People in the West aren't as entitled as many of us in Nigeria and would hardly expect the wife to cook for them all. They have the sense to also bring food when coming

We all have areas of strengths and weaknesses. Your wife might not be the kitchen type. As odd as it might sound, some women dread cooking while some enjoy it. If she insists, get someone you can tip for the job (not necessarily a professional caterer). Abi make I come cook am ni? grin
She'll come around
