Being a family man is not an easy one, especially in this president Buhari-led administration. Unlike me blessed with 3 families;My rancorous wife and two children.

Daily I would drop 1000naira for dinner that is after we have consumed a light breakfast.
Dropping 1000naira on a daily basis wasn't easy but could I do.

So one day having received my monthly stipend,I decided to stock our kitchen with food stuffs. Hoping that there would be a cut on the amount we spent on daily basis.

So today I asked my wife what would be required to make dinner for the day.
"1000naira" she blutterd.
I gave her a surprised look...and continued polishing my shoe.
"Why the Look?" She questioned wriggling her waist. " or you have conracted amnesia as to forget your regular activity?" She poured out.

As man of few word. I went straight to the kitchen and bundled the foodstuff in a sack and "operation moved everything to my room" and locked the it consequentially

"What....what are you doing na?" She stammered pointing towards my room.

"I am doing what you are seeing...see don't spoil that door o...I have told you o...if.." I stammered
-"what will you do? i will spoil that door, what..what do you want us to eat?. She interjected, wriggling her waist, arm akimbo.

As a wise man. I told her I was going to resell the foodstuffs so as to earn cash. I gave her 1000naira to cook our usual -what would fit into the budget.

She squeezed the money and pelted it onto me.

I stood aloof watching her act of stupidity. I was sure the children were also surprised at her act...they sat on the sofa, eyes focused on her, watching the interesting drama.

I gently entered my room to avoid heated arguments.

Murmuring called back and forth the house. Then, there was silence, except for the sound of the television.

Minutes after, I sneakily opened my door tiptoed,headed for the exit door. "SHshhhhhhhh" placing my index finger on my lips gesturing the children to be quite.
(A door creaked from behind)
"Mr American Ninja well-done! the door is locked, no stress yourself...we go die here together!!!" She said in a typical pidgin english, adjusting her sport wears. How she noticed my movement surprised me.
With her on an Arsenal Jersey, made me hopeless...

Na d matter we still dey settle o!!!

™Musty strange.

women and their settlement wahala. You will stock the house with foodstuffs and they'll still expect you to drop cash and there's nothing you can do about it. If you want to stress your brain tell her to calculate how she spent the money. You go hear wen!!! I always smile when reminiscing about some of the kasala between me and wifey funny at times
