Some will be like "my mother did not teach me how to cook"
Oloriburuku! Who taught you doggy style.

Konkonbiloo:
Cooking is one of the basic stuff a lady should know how to do... What if she finds her self in place where she's not use to the type of food eaten by the locals in that environment, so she'll starve to death or eat one thing repeatedly everytime

What are the basic things a man should know how to do?

PrimadonnaO:


Her mother first... who didn't teach a growing child what she needed to know.

Then the adult who grows up and still refused to learn for herself what she needs to know.

Using myself as an instance, growing up we didn't eat a variety of foods... nobody in my house liked swallow so my mum rarely prepared soups... the few occasions she did, they were mostly three soups... egusi, banga soup and pepper soup. My kid bro hated anything that had okro or was stretchy... the others had their peculiar dislikes, that was why my mum narrowed things down to the three generally-eaten options.

But when I got into uni, I saw that people cooked several other varieties of foods... and sometimes in better ways than they were prepared in my house. I took it upon myself to learn... I'll cook stuff even though I know I'll barely eat it... then distribute to my neighbours.
And practice makes perfect.

Now, I can whip up so many things that I crave... I think I can cook at least 10 soups... plus all the bakes and pastries.

Please is there a vacant apartment in your neighbourhood?
You'll be a great neighbour to have.

Those saying men too should cock. Very soon u will say men too should get pregnant & give birth.

Any lady at that age but can't cook, is a disgrace to womanhood. For crying out loud, what did she spend her first 20 years for?
Academics? Who she sabi book pass?

When God created women, he did not write cooking on their head so carry this your archaic mindset and go and sit down, there are women out there who can't cook but have contributed more to the world than the so called cooks out there.

AstroG:
So your encouraging girls not to learn how to cook ??



As for me,ah can boast that I can cook very very well,but that doesn't mean Naija girls no suppose learn how to cook

If you can cook very well then what is the problem? help in that department when you marry, teach her so both can share love and cook together

crazybee069:
Any 23 year old male or female that cannot cook is a disgrace to himself/herself and that's fact

lol

Cooking isn't a feminine attribute, take note. Most world reknown Chefs are male. A Chef is a male cook

they full this thread..


See ladies it is not about shaking butt on Instagram

Lonelypacifist6:
Your father is stupid You can't cook you and learn how to cook olodo oshi Nobody would marry you you'll be surrounded by cats in old age B-A-S-T-A-R-D child.

You're an idiot just like your father.

yeyeosoronga:


But women have been paying the bills without any noise making.
Infact majority will lie and try to cover that fact by saying it's their husbands that are doing it. Some will buy cars, and it's their husbands driving it. Many are paying the house rent, yet they're not making noise all over the internet

Well, no noise.

That some that are doing that are just like 5% of them... I expect 50:50 (Equality) that they preached around

FamousMonk:

Poor man mentality

we don see you rich man...

not every one who wants a woman to be a woman is poor

IgboOsuIpobMUMU:

The way your father and brothers Cook?

I know this question wasn't directed at me but I have to boast about my old man,
If you taste his food you will lick your fingers

Every woman should learn or knw how to cook, to avoid eating poison. It I no sabi cook dat makes some women go to eat their Friends' and end up eating poison one day or being called long throat.

Angelfrost:


My point also... If she is not interested, then it's her right not to learn... I am all about gender equality.

To me it's more than gender equality.
It's about showing some basic respect to other individuals and how they choose to live their lives.
People need to stop trying to dictate how others live their lives, provided they're not harming anyone

Ladyhippolyta88:
Not everywoman knows how to cook. It does not make such woman less of a woman if she is interested she can learn or get someone to be doing the cooking. I see nothing wrong there.
Men should learn how to cook to complement the ladies effort

what's that her effort really? the one to be complemented if she can't cook.

a woman has to do things a woman should do for her to be seen as a woman. I just no understand these social media women... social media girls... who think what celebrities post is what life is really about.

Yemi007alade:
Teach her how to cook

Why should I teach the basic rudiments expected of a woman?

Is she going to teach me how to make money for both of us and the family?

Ladyhippolyta88:

I am not, but the thing is that not every lady enjoys cooking so no need to force them. To some cooking comes as a natural talent to some it does not.
Bit then again cooking should not be a gender thing in the 21st century world so men need to learn how to cook too.

yea... 21st century men need to learn to stop buying gifts for the women and also doing all those manly stuffs for her, because we're 21st century men.

utterly makes sense... nice idea

..any lady that cannot cook or doesn't wish to learn is a shame to womanhood. does she wanna feed her family indomie n spag forever?..what a shame!..
we are all boys in my family n we all know how to cook, talk less of other domestic work.
..all those shouting "no big deal" what did ur mums feed u with while growing up??..

For we house na only me no too Sabi cook. Even at that I can cook jollof rice , rice and beans, beans. Iam not totally useless

Lovelyn451:
when a guy is 23 and cannot wash his cloth

he's stupid and should ne flogged

henryobinna:

lol

This thread is great.

I love how all the lazy women are trying to turn this into a gender thing.

80% of an average lady are wired in that dependence framework on a guy.

When some get married, they stick to that.

But what some of them failed to observe is that while u drain that man with much to shoulder, u deny him of the capacity to self development to increase his productivity and value to earn.

He won't train himself.

He will lack finance to engage in what will improve his earning status and create streams of income.

Feminists will have something to say for sure

So you really belive all these female bankers, lawyers, doctors, market women / traders you see daily everywhere around you wake up early to go for their hustle alongside their male collegues, do so just for the sake of doing that? They don't pay bills?
Do you think all these women are married to men uch richer than they are? Do you really believe majority of Nigerian men are rich? Learn to look and SEE things around you

DaddySimple:
I came across an argument somewhere and it was really funny to hear what some people were saying about it so I have decided to share it here also.

When a lady is 23 years of age and she can't cook, is she to be blamed or is her mother to be blamed?

I am just curious to hear what people have to say about this issue.

Africa and traditions, do I love my wife because she cooks
Cooking can be done by both parties, thats why it is called marriage

Tamax:
You're right but she can still follow her mum to the kitchen and still learn. Many learned how to cook this way even ordinarily by looking at her mum doing it.

Nothing like practically doing it my dear.

My mum used to make ordinary EBA while I watched.

So one day, she asked me to make it for a relative. So I got that gari and poured hot water on top!

It was the same relative who put me through properly

Yes, I will learn how to cook, I will be cooking everyday.

I will even be sweeping the house everyday, then wash the dishes,
I will still rush out to work and save 30% of my income for me, her and our family ,hell even her own family!

If girls don't know what is expected of them as a fully fledged woman, then i suggest they should sit their a**es down in their father house

Because you women definitely aren't teaching us how to make money or take care of another human being, rent/buy a property...

You know why? Because that's what expected of a Man! Something we learnt innately from our Fathers.

If she can't cook, its a SHAME, you better not encourage your sisters or female friends that cooking isnt sh*t cus if you can't we men will def go to a woman that can cook,

Do an online poll and see how many men will want to date or marry a woman that Can't cook

And just so you know, this isn't a Nigerian men thing, you can go to foreign blogs and do a poll there and see the response.

Cousin9999:

lol
