You're wrong in your assertion in a way.

Where she was wrong, using gas all your life doesn't mean you can't use stove especially when that's all the guy has got, but stove can be very stressful. It's slower and when it has issues, it can take hours to cook a 30minutes meal.

That said, the guy on the other hand is petty. Why inspect the foodstuffs? If he had trust issues, he could've gone to the market by himself to avoid being cheated. Inspecting the foodstuffs tells a lot about the kind of guy she was dealing with. That's bad!


The guy is very petty. Even if you think the lady is shortchanging you, just keep silent and focus on how sweet the Egusi and stew she's cooking. Even offer her a plate of eba and let her eat to her heart's satisfaction.. Only next time, you won't call her

Dear cook who cooks for every caller,
You refer to yourself; you are the lady and that is your Twitter handler. I understand you want to be noticed.
1. You have a reputation of being a celebrity in a local street and cannot make his broth, and stew with N3k. Have you worked before all your life?
2. You cannot make do of the stove. You lived all your life using the gas cooker. You are a primitive liar.
3. You feel insecure while you see him around the kitchen cubicle and make out a meaning that he is inspecting you. Are you a dirty cook? Do you cook magic? Are you one of these girls who deduct half of the money for nail polish? Then why worry?

It is somewhat clearer you will have marital problems; money management issues, the 'feel among' problems, spouse's food matters and trust issues.

It seems you are the guy she is talking about.

All right, he has stove. Can she do anything to make it right? No. Why worry? Secondly, a guy's presence while cooking actually means he is inspecting the meal, right? Okay, let's assume he is inspecting it, is she is wife? Why must he trust her? What Nigerian law is against inspecting a cook, if this is the case?
If there is, let her sue him.

Did you read where the girl stated that the guy is not paying her. She was just helping him, probably as a friend. The guy should have gone to the market himself and done the cooking too.

Nairaland boys will bash as usual for cheap online points when they're puppets to classless girls in real life. Stale already.
you hit the nail in the head there, all these small children on niaraland, as a girl and from a girls point of view the guy is wrong and is just being cheap, he could've gone to the market himself to get the foodstuffs if he did not trust her... Some men should learn to appreciate little effort sometimes and these are the kind of men that'll open one thread here saying she does not love me anymore, I know girls do the worse sometimes but mhen if that kind of guy marries someone who's not working she'll hate her life

4k actually. He added 1k.

That being said, I can cook egusi and stew with 3k. And I'm sure a lot of people can. Beef of 1k can do both. Tomatoes and pepper for 300 naira. Ugwu and water leaf for 400 naira. Stock and dried fish and ponmo for 700 naira. Egusi for 400 naira.

A soup mustn't have chicken.

Only thing I fault is his attitude of inspecting what she got like she was trying to cheat him or something. And the fact that the guy is too lazy to cook his own food.

No, he gave her 3k. She added 1k of her money to it.

She was to cook soup and stew.

I wouldn't think of adding chicken if I had that money, but some people can't cook without chicken, maybe she finds that it makes her meals tastier, that's her style.

The fact that he inspected it is laughable. If you give someone 3k for soup and stew, once you see beef and chicken, you should know it may have crossed budget sef

This is the kind of trash men we have in Nigeria, and they walk atound thinking they are the best thing to happen to someone's daughter.

His ilk are everywhere in Nigeria. Imagine 3k to cook egusi and stew wey get meat and chicken inside. A cup of egusi alone is #200 and you'll need more than one cup for egusi. What about tomato, pepper, ugwu, a kilo of chicken is up to 700, and her transport was in this money too.

Better soup na money kill am.
How do I use tomatoes in cooking egusi?

Perhaps he was trying to test her?

You know those old fashioned advice of giving the girl small money to cook food and deliberately making her angry to see how she would react.

Seeking a good wife now is like hunting in a thick jungle with very dangerous animals.

Na so you go carry your marital issue come social media.

Carry go. The man dodged a bullet.


Dodge bullet indeed. It's the lady that dudged a bullet either from a stingy man or a guy that tests ladies

Oga I was being sarcastic, his argument made zero sense

0ppa and spongeisback let's not be sentimental. You know he is not inspecting the food for his life but the money. As you can see where he was asking even price of Maggi and saying things like it's small despite her money and her transport. Don't she have a right to be angry indirectly calling her a thief
That behavior is bad don't be one sided in your judgement because he is a man call a spade a spade.
Will both of you be happy if your daughter marry this type? Yet you condemn the girl.
When you a bad character in a relationship just run don't say he'll change in marriage

I'll even be genuinely shocked seeing chicken. I can't manage chicken and beef with 3k and two soups.

All you guys the at are hollering broke guy and stuff. The only mistake the guy made was to inspect the foodstuff while she was preparing the dish. Still, it might be because he did not trust her to manage money very well - you dont't know their history.

Mind you, 3k will prepare a sumptuous egusi soup as well as a stew.

Let me give you a breakdown.

Egusi = half derica #400

crayfish = #100

pepper = 20

okporoko = 50

Titus = #400

meat = #400

palm oil = ilarin #100

maggi = #20

onga soup = 10

vegetable = 50

Total = #1,550. balance. #450



If you use these ingredient, you will prepare confam! egusi soup.

OK.

Let's head to stew.

Tomatoes & pepper = #250

tomato paste = #50

maggi = #20

onions = #30

groundnut oil = #100

curry & thyme = #40

fish = 400

spice = 50

Total = #940. balance = #60

Total balance = #510

#510 should be more that enough for transport.


The 1k she added was to the orishirishi she wanted. If the guy wanted orishirishi, he would have given her more cause I kno that some people here are ready to counter.


even if it's your girlfriend you'll leave small change for her knowing she's cooking for you and not inspecting everything that's like calling Someone a thief on top services she's rendering and about stove, I've never cooked on stove but from the looks of it I know it's a bad work around for someone who's not used to cooking on that thing, she even gave him back his money plus extra to show class, abeg I won't regret saying this but guys who do petty stuff like this are broooooookeeeeee, stingyyyyyyy and stupiiidddd especially when they know such can be done themselves without all that senseless involvement
Re: Man Gives Lady N2k To Help Him Prepare Egusi Soup, She Did This by Nobody: 6:14pm On May 05, 2019
Girls really do not understand men obviously. The said man might not necessarily be inspecting what she bought because he want's to confirm if she spent the money well or so buh to know if he's safe. Not all men eat loosely. There was a time i don't eat food that is not cooked by either my mum or my one and only sister.

it might be someone she's friends with.. She might have considered him special at some point, but my cousins in school tell me random girls do cook for them esp dept friends, you don't know money can change people's attitude, to me it seems like the guy was broke and was expecting some sort of change grin but that attitude mhennnnn he could've just chilled maybe next time he'll learn to hang his bag where he can reach for it

Personally, I'm not a stove fan. It's too slow for my liking.

The dude isn't principled at all. What kind of a man inspects food stuffs after giving his woman money to cook?
I think the lady was talking about a boy not a man.
He would have been patient and learn against asking her for help next time, If He felt she had not done the first one well.
It's painful but the lady went too far..

In a way you are equally wrong here concerning the stove. In as much as she didn't state the kind of stove the guy uses. There are many stoves that cooks as fast as using a gas stove. Also, a gas stove with rust and worn out burners could be as stressful as using a bad stove.
About inspection, I could not agree totally with her, it could be a makeup story.
Some Women are fond of taking some quantity of food home after cooking for you.
If the guy actually inspected what she bought then the act is wrong and portray him childish and insecure.
But if the guy going to the kitchen is her problem then she have some insecurities likewise.
And o yes, I learnt another way of cooking Okra Soup from my woman and indeed I learnt how to cook Ataama soup from her too.

I don't think you understood what I wrote. The guy bleeped up only because he went ahead to inspect the foodstuff she bought. That does not just scream stingy and stupid or broke, it also shows you the level of distrust he has for her (not necessarily to poison him, it could be financialwise). That's why I wrote that they may have a history she didn't see fit to include in her epistle.
