She doesn't like it.
She's just enduring it because it's not convenient.

Buy her gas stove.

SURElee:
Abeg show me the type of charcoal stove you got for her to use that she refused to use it.

If the gas finishes, make we see whether she go adjust or not. In this economy , families are making a adjustments here and there to survive o!

Parisfran:
Paying for Gotv and house internet but cannot pay 15k monthly for gas.

Anyway discuss finances with your wife instead of unilaterally decide what should be cut.

opicgif:
I’m just seeing that you are also paying
Gotv
Internet for house

Bro
You are not just wicked
You are evil

So many rich people have stopped paying for gotv/dstv

But someone that can’t afford gas, you are still paying for gotv??

Nahhh, you are evil

Kalulu44:
If he takes over cooking, will the wife agree to provide?

Diamond098454:
What do you mean by selfish and cruel?
If his wife can't cook with charcoal stove, he should do the cooking for now pending when he will buy gas
As simple as alphabet🔡

Hope your night was sweet?
Have a lovely weekend

Kobojunkie:
1. Well, she has a valid point there. Why should she have to take on additional stress all in order that you can save yourself from the stress of having to do more to afford the bills? I mean, you are trying to give her more work to do because you don't want to have to do more work as a provider. That ogboju dem dey call that one. 🥱🥱🥱

2. What reason would you have to suggest she do that, though? Anyways, you could always divorce your wife and go find yourself a cheaper woman
who wouldn't mind cooking using charcoal and taking on all the stress that goes along with it. Alternatively, you can take over cooking duty in your home so you can handle the stress all by yourself instead of stacking on to the stress your wife already has to deal with. 🥱🥱🥱

You will use your hand destroy your marriage. Are you an inspector in your home to be commanding her like that? I can imagine how forceful you are doing it....lol...your tone here says it all. Why you too no go learn cooking and use charcoal and see how hard it is. You barred her. Omoh eh....na waooo. Later you will come online playing the victim card that your wife left you shattered. You barred her. Oga, you.better cool down and learn how to use gentle words with your partner. You can talk anyone to anybody, but not to your wife ans parents. Do you hear me?


Now, let's solve this. Charcoal and kerosene stove are stressful. It's the truth. So, the plan is still gas.

You guy cook beans and some other things that take so long, that's why. Perhaps either or both of you love eating beans. Lol. Even rice takes time too.

Solution: Go buy a pressure pot. Learn how to use it. If you.take this advice and you need help how to use it to lower gas consumption rate to the minimum, let me know. One of my siblings used to have the same problem, and I solved it through this method. She used to use a 12-kg cylinde per week. After I showed her the trick, she used the same cylinder for 6 weeks. She was amazed. That's saying her so much. 2 cylinders for 3 months instead of 12 cylinders she used to consume in 12 months. You can get a medium size pressure pot.

Your wife will need to learn how to use it to cool beans, rice, spaghetti, moi moi, etc. Maybe only soup, she may not use it for. She must know the timing for each food so that as to avoid getting too soft. She will definitely make some mistakes at the initial stage which you must endure, and she will get it. One month max, she will be a pro and she will thank you. The kind of money you will save, you will be amazed.

You will save more sef if you buy a bigger pot and you have a constant electricity. You will understsnd when you start using it. It's so convenient, fast, and economical. You won't feel it at all. Mark my words. She will enjoy entering kitchen cos na "sharp sharp" she go leave kitchen.

I bought one for my father too. When his cook was away for almost 6 mths, I would go there every Saturday. Just a pot and I cook a week beans. Store inside the freezer and fridge. Also, his moi moi well packed in there. Then, I also do almost well cooked rice too, so, he takes the rice out and cook in the normal pot for just 5 - 10 mins max. "E don done" cos it's already boiled and almost soft.

I can use it to sterilise. I use it to sterilise my hike made tomato paste. The uses are so many, but most Nigerians don't know about it. Even the so called caterers and event planners don't know about it. Dem just go dey burn gas anyhow.

Those who cook large pot of food, instead of them to invest in a big pressure pot, dem go dey burn gas anyhow. I always shake my head when I see how Nigerians are wasteful. Later they will say poor man dey suffer. Na poor man no get brain na..

The only issue is that if you find using N30k to N150k (depending on the size and quality) to buy a new pot too much or impossible, then, you are ready to destroy your marriage.

Good luck!

Bebetter:
Bro to be honest with you:

1. You need to get your money up.

2. Change where you are buying the gas from, buy directly from mobil filling station. It would last the whole month almost.

3. If you are using four burner, try switching to the single burner. it saves a lot and you can do buy as you go 5k today and 5k two weeks later.

4. Get a microwave and cook things in bulk and store in the fridge, then microwave when you need it, so you are using the gas to warm food all the time.

5. This issue na minor thing, don't make a big deal out of it. But did you consult her before buying the charcoal stove? Afterall she is in charge of the kitchen, she probably would have told you not to. Bro put that thing up for sale on jiji and when you sell it. use the money to pay for the next gas refill. Let this matter die down bro. Just fix up your income.

Love800:
Hello.
Nice write-up.

I was thinking that pressure pot is for only beans.
So one can use it to cook other meals!

Wonderful.

DrFunmisticGlow:
let's not forget the health repercussions for the woman years down the line.

Are we not tired of seeing grandmothers coughing all the time in the village? COPD is real o.

All to please a man.

Marriage is looking less attractive day by day

Because of the high cost of energy, I barred her from overly use of electric hot plate, also gas finishes so fast.. all these are draining the family maintainance resources..

So I deviced a means to bring down the cost of energy by purchasing gokpo charcoal stove.. it's a new kinda charcoal stove that doesn't fume, it's clean energy and also burns faster..

Just that u need to infuse charcoal enough and cook straight hours so u can exchaust the charcoal, lest it won't stop burning inside..

Believe me, it doesn't darken pot nor fume..

By she has refused to use it, claiming I am taking her to olden days and causing lots of stress..

Okay I suggested she start to part pay the cost of cooking energy if sh must stick with her choice.. but sh has not filled gas since then nor part pay the huge NEPA bill that comes monthly..

Abeg wetin I go do for this case

ZUBY77:
Lol.
You don't know me, so I suggest you say what you know.
This Christmas in the village, she cooked throughout with woods even though there was large filled gas cylinder.
That only happens during festivities anyway cos where we stay in Lagos, it's only Gas.
So yes, she likes it cos I personally don't like it myself.

Mariangeles:
You see? She was just being adventurous and having fun with doing something different for the while.
I would do the same.

No woman likes the option of smoke getting into her eyes and high heat close to her skin constantly.
Even you wouldn't like the result in a matter time.

✓ Gotv is just 3500 monthly, monthly sunnis not fixed monthly sub.. it is 5k monthly for everyone...
Life is not all about food

Honorableabiodun:
✓ This is why they say marry as if you’re in business and not for love… man has to suffer for every of woman’s convenience,,,, I’m sure they’re an average family so what’s wrong in devising an idea to save cost when there’s always other expenses

Kobojunkie:
Op married for business,not for love; the [b]vast majority of men [/b]out there, since the time of your ancestors marry for business and not for love. So, stop with the rambling. 🥱🥱

A man who loves his woman would consider her comfort and her health with every decision he makes. He would put it first. Op clearly loves his GoTv more than he does his wife or cares for her health. That much is realized from his post. 🥱🥱

This is 2026, let's us embrace honesty and critical reasoning. 🥱🥱

aswani:
Good point well made but Anti nor go answer dat kweshion directly.

Dey look, na anoda road she go carry you take.

Having said that, I don't think cooking or household chores are exclusive to the woman, which in fairness you didn't say. But that is the kind of counter attacking you should expect from Anti Kobojunkie.

epainos:
I use it to cook almost everything apart from veggie, stew, & soup.

bigpicture001:
U dnt have a family, if u do, u will realize that family gather every evening before and after dinner...

Now tell me, what else unite family aside the t. V?

And what else is shown on channels t. V...

Saying I sub gotv, doesn't mean I do 16k sub... There is 3500 sub, and that is the one I do..

When u have a family, u will understand!

Mercury12:
Tell her you had a terrible dream about a explosion in your home while cooking. Find one unknown man to act as prophet and also tell her his vision about a gas explosion that she should be careful and stay off it for a while.

Wicked man


If I hear say she no believe enh!!!
infact say goodbye to gas and electric cooker in your home. But watch out, if you not at home she is likely to dash your gas cylinder to aboki condemn iron buyers roaming the streets if u follow my advice

Dzzzz:
No matter how bad Sapa hold me,I can never go down to that level..It’s better to buy 2kg gas than use charcoal to cook..it’s like watching black and white TV in this Era..
