When you go tho the market and you see a young man of between 26-45 years of age pricing and buying tomatoes, meat, vegetables and other ingredients, what first comes to your mind? Do you wonder why he is the one in the market instead of a girlfriend or wife.

Please share your honest opinion.

Guys, how do you feel being the one pricing in the market? Do you feel embarrassed or indifferent?

What comes to my mind is that the man's wife is bedridden or he just a stingy man

TY tayo: What comes to my mind is that the man's wife is bedridden or he just a stingy man

You cant be serious can you?
Not even the thoughts that she probably traveled?

If i did'nt know better i would think all men who do that are stingy but i actually know a man that likes to go to the market once in a while and even do the cooking.

The fact is some even just want to give their partner a surprise treat and as such sneak in to buy all the ingredients like you have rightly pointed out while others don't just feel comfortable for a lady who isnt their wife to cook for them.

ftmom: In Naija?
I suspect he's a bachelor

I also guess almost 90% of them should be bachelors.

A man who:

1. No lady can take for granted (can't use food to deal with- assuming he could cook too).

2. Is caring (assuming the wife was indisposed).

3. Is dependable.

4. Is economical (assuming he was a bachelor). Not wasting his money on fast foods.

^^^ Nice one.

acidtalk: ^^^ Nice one.

Can i have ur email?

Wow, Girl am in love with you already for defending me lol. i was at the market last Tuesday and bought a bucket of egusi, ogbono, garri, rice, and crayfish. Bottles of groundnut and palm oil, pepper nd onions.

Cooking is my secret hobby and most times am shy telling my friends that but your post just describes me. why pay to eat at eatrries when i don't get satisfied.

I would like to keep in touch with you if you don't mind lol.

Who dey follow you laught?

Wislet is right in her assumptions but it doesn't apply to all men. My former neighbour, a family man with 2 children buys every single thing in the house. If they want to make soup, he buys all the ingredients and hands them over to his wife. If for any reason he gives his wife money to buy stuffs from the market, he must, i mean must collect the change from his wife. How do i know all these, whenever they quarrel, which they did alot, they always blabbed about it and the woman never fails to express her displeasure with the man always going to the market.

*laugh make me go do stop and search for BRT buses*
that woman must have been playing the man maga.
maybe he used the money for soup to build duplex in her village and the man found out.


If i was the woman, i will never ever prepare such soup.
him that went to the market should be the one to cook the soup.

My wife is a banker and I'm self employed. At times when I close early,I go to the market and buy foodstuff. I even call her from the market to confirm the quantity to buy. It removes the stress of doing the shopping from her busy schedule. I don't even see anything wrong in doing the cooking. After all she's my wife and the home is ours.

Correct man.
But please don't let your family in the village know oh!
Before they summon your wife to turning their son to a cook.

acidtalk: Who dey follow you laught?

Naija mentality.

I think such a man needs to sit himself down and re-arrange his priorities in life. Very shameful...
