@ OP -

As you identified this problem early on, you should have had a strategy in place to improve her cooking after the marriage. If you have family (sisters/ aunties), they are usually a good resource for your wife to use to improve her cooking - as long as the wife does not have an ego regarding this issue, and as long as your family will be humble in teaching her. Failing that, you can send her to cookery lesson, or teach her yourself (if you are good at it)

But the main question is - Does you wife agree that she is a bad cook?And is she willing to learn? If she does not accept there is a problem, then it will be difficult to find a solution. Also, most women are quite sensitive to any criticism of their food, so try something called a "Praise Sandwich. It a technique often used in management or teaching. Basically, it is 2 layers or praise divided by a layer of criticism.
So try something like this - "Darling, thanks so much for the effort you put into cooking this food for me. Its really nice. Please put a little more salt in it for me next time. I really enjoyed it." Seal this sentence with a kiss, and finish with "love you lots".

Give it a try; you got nothing to lose.

this too.

enroll her in cooking school.

practice positive reinforcement.

even if the cooking is bad, smile and say it's good [which is actually what you did before].

if you can cook, then do it yourself without castigating her.

when did anita turn into a white woman?

i thought she's mixed and from edo state just like the husband.

handshake don pass elbow.

Seun:
I don't think you can judge how "good" she his from a picture. What if that's all she has to offer?

Ivynwa:

^^you no go leave the sicko to his sickness?

^^in a nigerian context, the type of answer the man gives will speak volumes about his character.

As he said yesterday(monday,1st November 2010) at the bible study making reference to what he saw at the back of a lorry-"LET THEM SAY"

did he actually say that?

things are bad then.

aloy emeka just opened this thread:

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-543568.0.html



it needs to be wiped out asap.

is there anything people wont abuse in this place.

if the woman is >30 una get problem

woman <20-30> still a problem.

<17 you're committing a crime, in case you dont know.

so the only age range you're narrowing it down to is 18-19.

poster do you want to explain yourself further cos your statement is too general.

guddsid:
dahomey was never part of the oyo empire , if they were then why would they invade their own empire ??

oyo conquered dahomey in the 18th century or so, making it a part of the oyo empire [note- this doesnt mean the whole dahomey was yoruba, for those who like jumping to conclusions].

dahomey later broke away from oyo as the empire was crumbling.

my point is the yorubas in benin republic arent necessarily not native to the place.

and was a response to this post:

The entire Old Oyo Empire should have been accommodated in present day Nigeria.
So many Yoruba-speaking benionise actually have their origin or extended family in Nigeria

Utchry:
No wonder ''Baba'' as fondly called hates the igbos. I bet it's because of the way his biological father dumped his mum

can you provide evidence of this "igbo hatred"

^^thanks for your response.

i googled that and found other examples.

my reason for asking was because the name sanjo is also found in other parts of africa, so i wanted to know the meaning.
